I have been renting in Medavakkam for a year now. The area has good water supply, decent rental rates, and great access to OMR. But traffic congestion during peak hours is a downside.

The rent fits my budget well and the locality feels safe. But the approach roads are still being developed, and auto fares are high due to limited public transport.

My flat in Medavakkam always finds tenants easily. But I wish the civic body would improve garbage management. Otherwise, it’s a good long-term asset.

I came to attend a housewarming. Medavakkam has a suburban charm but lacks premium restaurants or cafes. Good for families, but a bit dull for youth.

Living here since 2021. I like the lower rent and proximity to work in Perungudi. Weekend markets are vibrant, but roads get flooded during rains.

Rented out a 3BHK to a working couple and I am enjoy the good rental income. Appreciation is also decent and steady.
