Velachery
Velachery has transformed over the past two decades from a quiet suburban area into one of Chennai's busiest residential and commercial zones. The arrival of the Chennai Metro and the Phoenix MarketCity mall catalysed its growth. Velachery serves as a key junction connecting south Chennai to the IT corridor along the Old Mahabalipuram Road. Despite its rapid urbanisation, Velachery retains pockets of residential calm, and the Velachery Lake and surrounding parks offer green respite.
