Living in Pallavaram
Pallavaram is the southern suburb right beside Chennai airport, on GST Road between Tirusulam and Chromepet. It is an old town with a cantonment, a famous Friday market, a railway station and a dense residential core, and it has grown into a popular address for airport and airline staff, defence families and commuters who want a train to the city. The Pallavaram to Thoraipakkam Radial Road links it to OMR.
Getting around
- Rail: Pallavaram station on the Beach to Tambaram line has frequent EMUs to Guindy, Egmore and Beach.
- Metro: the airport metro station at Tirusulam is one stop away; the Blue Line runs to Guindy, Central and the city.
- Roads: GST Road to the airport, Guindy and Tambaram; the Radial Road east to Pallikaranai, Thoraipakkam and OMR.

Daily life
The Pallavaram Friday market is one of the largest weekly markets in the city, and the town has daily markets, schools, hospitals and supermarkets. The cantonment side is greener and quieter; the Zamin Pallavaram and Hasthinapuram sides are dense residential grids. Chromepet and Tambaram add more shopping a few minutes away.
Homes you will find
