Real Estate in Chennai

Tamil Nadu’s capital, Chennai, is a well-developed city in South India. Despite being a trading hub identified by the East India Company in the 17th century, the city is also recognised as Madras with worldwide popularity for its original dance form, Bharatanatyam. Chennai holds a legacy in music also with classical singing and instrumental pieces. This posh city has its administrative set up at Fort St George, where the state performs legislative and executive tasks. As it is known to all, southern India has unmatched weather in which Chennai is also counted as a livable city. The place's history closely connects with the rulers such as Nayak and, of course, the British Colony. Due to this, it contributes significantly to great extent in the industrial and commercial market of the nation.

Market Size of Real Estate in Chennai

This city near the Coromandel Coast is active with corporate headquarters, which invites people to find their dream job and settle for an upgraded lifestyle.

Rs.16 lakhs to Rs 24 crores.Nevertheless, you may always have options for independent houses, or vacant land may be for establishing your preferred housing architecture. Another factor that promotes the crowd to move-in Chennai is the retail business opportunities facilitated by the rental and saleable properties that are styled for any business type to start its success journey. Let us explore the land with segments to know what can be found at what price.

Demographic Statistics by Population

The metropolitan city Chennai is quite crowded to be considered a small country. In 2011, the population was 8.95 million, whereas a country like Singapore had a record population of around 5.399 million. Therefore, it won’t be wrong to say that Chennai is the most densely populated place in the world, with 26,553 population/sq km. Similarly, if we compare Delhi and Mumbai, this city has even higher migrants with the 4th biggest slum crowd in the country. It is spread over 426 sq km. Though, the good news is that it has a slower pace of growth in terms of population than other south Indian metro cities like Bengaluru or Hyderabad.

Residential plots are great for people who wish to design their property per their wishes and fancy. A plot offers high flexibility as it enables you to construct your house as per your requirements, while any kind of modification stands limited in the case of a flat. Chennai, like its diverse population, caters to people with different budgets. The prices for renting a plot can be as low as ₹16 Lakh and can go up to ₹24 Crores depending on your chosen location. You can even buy a residential plot in the capital of Tamil Nadu from prices starting from ₹2.16 lakh to ₹18.7 Crore.

Considering the food, the world-class yet traditional cuisines will always be served at some restaurants and bars.
