Hi Mr Venu Gopal,
As per my knowledge, apart from local buses and public transports, the area is well equipped with social infrastructure such as schools, banks and ATMs. Thoraipakkam has some of the best schools such as the Ramayan International School and APL Global School among others. This area is well connected to other parts of the city by city transport & train.

Hi Guys,
As per my knowledge, this area offers 2 and 3BHK apartments in sizes of 1150-1700 sq ft, along with some villas also. One can get a villa for about Rs 8,000 per sq ft today. Way back in 2010-11 when the land rates were much lower, the villa culture had become popular among developers and buyers, giving momentum to the villa development. IT professionals at senior designations prefer to buy villas.

Hi Mr Venu,

As per my knowledge, Thoraipakkam-Pallavaram Radial Road, running east to west, connects the IT corridor and the GST Road making Thoraipakkam well connected to the airport, especially after the opening of the flyover (ROB) at the western end of the radial road. This plays a significant role, enabling smooth movement of traffic between the major arterial roads to South of Chennai, including GST Road, Tambaram-Velachery Main Road and Old Mahabalipuram Road.

@ Venu,
While the radial road ensured that the airport is just 30 minutes from Thoraipakkam, the rail connectivity with Velachery and the TIDEL Park Railway Stations, situated roughly at a distance of 5-6 km on each side of Thoraipakkam, offers working professionals to commute via train too.

Hi Mr Venu,
As per my knowledge, Thoraipakkam, the neighboring locality, located in South Chennai along the IT Expressway, is about 7 km away (15-20 minutes drive) from Velachery and offers comparatively affordable property prices. Thoraipakkam is one of the preferred residential locations in Chennai today.

Hi Venu,

According to me, the average capital value for an apartment varies from Rs 4,600-7,000 per sq ft, whereas, in Velachery the values are Rs 6,700-7,500 per sq ft. Since it is located on the IT Expressway, majority of the demand is from the IT professionals working in Velachery. This has also pushed up the rental market here.

Hi Mr Gopal,
In my point of view, infrastructure & connectivity of Thoraipakkam is very good. The locality, situated along the OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) has developed and wide roads that ensure easy traffic flow. The locality is connected to the Grand Southern Trunk Road (GST) via the Thoraipakkam-Pallavaram Radial Road.
