Ratings & Reviews of Madhavaram, Chennai

Positives: My stint in Madhavaram only lasted a few months, but it gave me a true appreciation of its potential and high worth. The largest advantage was how cheap property was relative to inner Chennai, and the enormous new Bus Terminal just down the road made getting around remarkably convenient, linking me directly to major employment centers such as the Ambattur Industrial Estate. Having secured schools and colleges nearby sealed it as feeling like an emerging, make-sense place to reside. Negatives: Nonetheless, the region certainly experienced some growing pains. Having constant heavy truck traffic on the GNT Road was a daily headache, making loads of noise and awful congestion. Having the fast, non-stop construction also meant dust and air pollution were conspicuously high. Finally, some of the inner-lane facilities, particularly drainage, seriously needed work.

Positives: Renting here has been surprisingly convenient. What I most appreciate is the excellent connectivity via Outer Ring Road, which makes longer travels convenient, and the overall affordability in relation to Chennai's center is a big relief. Additionally, the area has a good, established local market and good access to major industrial areas for employment. Negatives: But everywhere, the infrastructural growth hasn't kept up. The inner roads' traffic, particularly around the main bus stand, is downright infuriating during rush hours. The largest irritant is the irregular public water supply, which forces us to rely heavily on private water tankers. And there's hardly any good quality park or contemporary recreation space, and the continuous dust and din from construction activity are really a nuisance.

Positives: Since I have worked in Madhavaram for many years, I can safely state that it is a gem in North Chennai. This locality has good connectivity through major roads and the soon to be constructed metro station, which makes commuting hassle-free. The availability of the 28-acre Horticulture Training Centre provides an element of greenery, making the locality even more attractive. Negatives: A few of the internal roads, such as the Madhavaram-Red Hills Road, are in terrible shape and cause trouble during monsoon rains. Some parts also have unkempt plots becoming garbage dumps, impacting overall cleanliness. Madhavaram continues to be an attractive option for home buyers looking for a mix of city convenience and suburban peace.

Positives: I migrated to this area several years ago. I am very happy here. The area is well-connected through the Grand Northern Trunk Road and buses, and the Inner Ring Road facilitates the journey in Chennai easily. There are schools, hospitals, and grocery shops around. Furthermore, the area has a lot of open space. It provides a calm ambiance. Proximity to industrial areas and vegetable markets is convenient. Negatives: But I do observe some traffic congestion on the main roads during rush hours, and some streets require improved drainage since waterlogging occurs during the monsoon. In spite of these small problems, residing in Madhavaram is pleasant. The quiet atmosphere of the locality and improving infrastructure make it a pleasant and affable neighbourhood.

Positives: For me, Madhavaram is an excellent place to stay, with its proximity to the Ambattur Industrial Estate, where I work. It’s mostly a smooth drive every morning and evening. The GNT, NH-5, and IRR are all accessible for good road connectivity. There will be the upcoming Chennai Metro Phase 2, which will connect the locality to many city locations. The MMBT is also there in case you need bus connectivity. The Milk Colony area and Botanical Garden zone are really beautiful, and what’s more, the area is very affordable to buy a home. Negatives: I only wish it had been nearer to the heart of Chennai, but otherwise everything is excellent. Also have to wait for the metro linkage for some time now.

Positives: I enjoyed the fact that the area was developing rapidly. Special Connectivity by GNT Road, Inner Ring Road, Madhavaram Red Hills stretch made it convenient to access most areas of Chennai. Good hospitals and schools were nearby. The Botanical Garden,Retteri Lake are green relief. It was less busy compared to the central areas, so life did not feel hectic. Negatives: But there were also irritations, many of the internal roads were kept in bad shape during rains. Water supply and underground drainage in most places were inadequate or incomplete. Traffic was an issue, causing jams and noise. Further, some of the public facilities such as parks or the horticulture used to feel neglected sometimes.

Positives I have been a recent addition to Madhavaram and feel I discovered a peaceful retreat without compromising on convenience. The silver lining is that the rent is so reasonable when compared to the heart of Chennai! Connectivity through the Outer Ring Road and GNT is spectacular for driving, and necessary services are at hand. We have supermarkets, good schools such as St. John's in the vicinity, and hospitals within easy reach, making life very convenient. Negatives: I would rate it four stars due to some common growing pains. The 24/7 truck movement on GNT Road is a headache. And, to top it all, the inner roads lack drainage, and even a light rain shower is sufficient to trigger waterlogging. The locality needs quicker development of its commercial areas.
