Access to frequent train services to other areas/cities as Arakkonam is a crossroads. There are more than ten schools and temples in this area. Houses are close to a market/shop. Certain areas are extremely safe. There are always taxis and buses available.

The way of life is simple and inexpensive. Because of the proximity of the Naval Airforce, this is one of the most important spots in here, and Arakkonam is the safest place. It is centrally located, surrounded by Chennai, Vellore, and four other cities. Arakkonam is surrounded by places on all six sides, which is how it got its name in Tamil.

The people here are extremely friendly. Swiggy and Zomato are both available. Pharmacies and textile stores, for example, are much more widely distributed. Arakkonam is close to the INS Rajali Naval Air Force.
