Porur
Porur has transformed from a quiet suburb into one of Chennai's fastest-growing residential and commercial hubs. Strategically located at the junction of Mount Poonamallee Road and Arcot Road, Porur serves as the western gateway to the city. The historic Porur Lake, one of the oldest irrigation tanks in the region, provides a green lung amidst growing urbanisation. The presence of Sri Ramachandra Medical College and several multi-speciality hospitals has made Porur a prominent healthcare corridor. Its proximity to the IT hubs along the OMR and GST Road via the Inner Ring Road makes it a preferred residential choice for IT professionals.
