Living in Chromepet
Chromepet is a busy suburb on GST Road between Pallavaram and Tambaram, close to Chennai airport and home to the MIT campus of Anna University. It has grown from a railway-side town into a dense residential area of flats and independent houses, with Hasthinapuram, Nemilichery and New Colony around the core. It is popular with airport and airline staff, students and families who want a train commute at a moderate price.
