OMR Road is the largest IT corridor in the northern suburbs of Chennai. The area is popularly known as State Highway 49A and Rajiv Gandhi Salai. Old Mahabalipuram Road is a 45 km long stretch with affordable housing properties. Old Mahabalipuram Road is parallel to East Coast Road and both of them easily connect to Chennai and Pondicherry. The area is close to metro stations such as Indiranagar and KR Puram and is also known by the name Swami Vivekananda road. Commercial hubs such as Mahadevapura Marathahalli and Bellandur are within a 10 km radius. These commercial hubs act as job hubs and thus OMR Road is preferred due to its proximity. With affordable residential plots available in KR Puram and CV Raman Nagar, the area is preferred by home seekers. Baiyappanahalli rail station and KR Puram rail station serves the area. Well equipped hospitals, excellent school infrastructure and sound roads, this area have good ratings on livability parameters. Authorities are continuously planning to improve road infrastructure.
