Top rental destinations in Chennai
1
Introduction:
Chennai has become an attractive destination for real estate investment with demand for residential units increasing
on a daily basis. Employment opportunities and better standard of living are the key reasons for mass migration of
people from different parts of Tamil Nadu and other states. The past decade has seen over 2 lakh people migrating to
Tamil Nadu from Karnataka and Kerala alone, most of them settling in Chennai (Urban India, 2011: Evidence).
Housing over 8 million people, Chennai residential realty demand has been steadily increasing every year (Census,
2011). There is high rental demand especially in southern Chennai. This is mainly due to the concentration of IT
industries in the area. People seeking jobs in these industries tend to settle in rented residential units mostly for quick
settlement and easy access. With the urban sprawl moving towards the south and more projects coming in every
quarter to satisfy the demand, people consider investing in these projects to rent them for quick returns.
This can also be validated by analyzing CommonFloor Listing data. The most popular rental localities are mostly located
in the south having most number of listings. The following are the most popular localities in the order of most number
of listings whose rental trends will be analyzed in this report.
1. Tambaram
2. Velachery
3. Madipakkam
4. Medavakkam
5. OMR
6. Chromepet
7. Porur
8. Anna Nagar.
All these localities comprise more than 30 per cent of
the market for rental listings with Tambaram,
Medavakkam and Velachery leading the list.
Interestingly, these localities are also located in the
south of the city proving the point that demand is
skewed towards the south of the city.

Tambaram
Located in southern Chennai, Tambaram embarked its presence since early 17th century as a small village in the
outskirts of the city. It was a camp for English East India Company. Today with a population of around 174,787 (Census,
2011) the locality is one of the largest real estate micro market. In late 1930s, the Madras Christian College was moved
to this locality. This initiated the development of the modern Tambaram and pace of development increased when
the Beach to Tambaram suburban line became functional.
The GST road that passes through the heart of the locality helps the movement of traffic in and out of the area. The
micromarket has two other arterial roads in the west namely the Chennai Bypass and Gandhi road that assist in traffic
movements. These roads connect the locality with other parts of the city and helps in intercity connectivity as well. The
locality is 12 km away from the Meenambakkam international airport. Tambaram also has its own railway station,
which is part of both suburban railway and a junction in South Indian Railway line.
Various factors are leading to an increased rental demand in this micro market. The rates in Tambaram are affordable
for the working class population. Since it is located close to industries, many people tend to rent a flat here. The micro
market is also well connected by road and trains which offers accessibility to all parts of the city. Additionally,
Tambaram is crowded with several educational institutions. For easy access and daily commutation to these
institutions, both parents and students seek houses in this locality.

Figure 2 shows BHK-wise availability for rent during August 2014. It can be seen that 2BHK homes have maximum
availability for rent and these mostly fall under the
affordable category.
In Fig. 3 we can notice that one can fetch a 2BHK
apartment in the price range of Rs 5,000 - 20,000.
Interestingly, there are very few 2 BHK units in the luxury
segment. Maximu availability is in the affordable or midsegments. The 3BHK apartments are available in the price
range of Rs 7,000 - 25,000.

asset. The rental yields of different type of properties
are shown in the graph. It shows that the rental yield
for 2BHK with considerable demand is 3.2 per cent
while for 3BHK it is 3.7 per cent. The graph clearly
shows that investing in properties so as to rent them

estate hotspot where anyone would like to own a property or build his or her
livelihood. This micro market occupies a prominent position in proximity to OMR. Velachery was mostly covered by
farmlands until early 1990s. But the locality started to get its shape after the widening of the Chennai Bypass road
during 2005. The development of this locality is mainly due to the IT industries around it and near the OMR.
Velachery main road connects the locality to other arterial roads and helps in commutation of individuals. The
international airport is 8.5 km away. The locality has a railway station, which is a part of the suburban railway network.
The IT companies along the OMR corridor mainly drive the demand for Velachery. The locality has well developed
infrastructure and good connectivity, which keeps the
demand high. Velachery has higher rental price when
compared to the surrounding localities due to the amenities
that the apartments provide.

property type here includes 2BHK apartments. This is due to
the presence of huge amount of working class people who
prefer 2BHK apartments which suits their budget and
maintenance cost bearing. There are fair amount of 3BHKs
available for rent. While 2BHK are about 57 per cent a half of
the total listings, 3BHK are near one- third the amount.

The rental yield in this micro market is not high
enough to match the demand and the hype the

opt to buy properties here and settle in. As for
rent, they opt for cheaper surrounding localities
where the rental prices are low and affordable.

per cent rental yield, mostly occupied by the

Medavakkam
Medavakkam is a residential area in South Chennai, located close to the OMR road and other popular
localities like Velachery, Madipakkam, Sholinganallur and Tambaram. This locality has flashed its name in
several reports as the fastest growing suburb in India in terms of real estate investments and returns.

class group of lower hierarchy.
The availability of residential units according to
different types of BHK segmentation is shown in

followed by 3BHK. This is because the apartment
prices are cheap and end-users tend to reside in
3BHKs while investors buy 2BHK so as to rent them
out.

Chennai. The road dots many IT companies and is on the state highway.
The stretch not only attracts demand for itself but also for the surrounding micro markets. One of the main
reasons why Chennai’s urban sprawl is edging towards the south is the emergence of the IT corridor, the
OMR. The stretch creates huge residential realty
demand in South Chennai.

houses for rent. This is mainly due to luxury, comfort
and accessibility the locality offers. The micro market is
also crowded with hotels, supermarkets and various

from affordable, mid income to luxury type apartments.
The demand for all these properties are robust. The

affordable to high priced luxury. The demand for the
micro market is due to the infrastructural development
and the proximity of the locality to the centre of the

locality is well planned and well established. Formerly known as Naduvankarai, this locality’s name was
then renamed Anna Nagar, after the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Anna Durai.
Poonamalle high road, New Avadi road and Jawaharlal Nehru road are the three arteries that bound the
micro market and are responsible for the traffic movements. The suburban railway station in Villivakkam is
the nearest station for MRTS access. The locality by itself is getting its own monorail station in the upcoming
CMRL project.

Similar to other localities we mentioned above, there is ample supply of 2BHKs available for rent in this
micro market. However, the number of 3BHK properties available for rent is proportionately higher than
other localities. Most people renting out houses or apartments here belong to the high-end income groups.
This is the main reason for the change of availability trend. Figure 26 shows the different proportions.
As per Figure 26, the rental prices start from
affordable range and go up to luxury for the
affluent class. One can fetch a 2BHK for a mere Rs
7,500 here. However, the prices go high up to Rs
35,000. 3BHKs are in the range of Rs 10,000 - Rs
50,000. These apartments have an average size of

localities analysed above. This is mainly due to
exorbitant prices of properties, which cannot be
charged with respective proportional rent practically.

Quick Facts
1. Located in the centre of the city.
2. Luxurious apartments are the most commonly available property type.
3. Well planned and well organised micro market.
Comparative analysis of the local
Figure 29 Chart showing 2BHK availability in all top
rental destinations
Figure 30 Chart showing 3BHK availability in all top rental
destinations
The availability of 2BHKs for rent is more evenly distributed in all the localities as compared to the 3BHK
localities. Most number of 2BHKs are available in Medavakkam and Velachery. The main key reason for this
is the affordable property values, proximity to the IT corridor and low liveability costs. It can also be noticed
that in OMR the number of 3BHKs are drastically high as compared to 2BHK properties. 2BHKs are the most
preferred type rental residential unit in any city.
The average rental yield for different types of apartments in
various micro markets are shown in the figure 31.
The rental yield in OMR is highest masking other rental
yields in the south. The demand for the micro markets are
high and the owners tend to rent them in lower rates, which
results in lower rental yield in the other micro markets.
Porur and Anna Nagar are comparatively high. Thus, rental
prices are vary in different localities not only based on the
demand for the locality but also the type of people, location
and amenities.
Figure 31 Rental yield of top rental destinations
Conclusion
Rental demand is on an upswing in Chennai, especially in the south. The demand exists in all types of
residential units including houses, apartments, villas and builder floors with different sizes from 1BHK to
4BHK and varying ticket sizes. Even though most of the focus is towards affordable rentals, there is huge
demand for luxury apartments too from the high-end part of the society. With urban sprawl spreading
towards the south and demand increasing robustly, the demand for rental accommodation is expected to
rise manifold in the future.
