Royapettah is perfect if you like being close to everything. Daily errands barely take any effort. It can feel congested at times, though the accessibility more than makes up for it.

Markets, clinics, and transport are always nearby. It does get noisy during the day, but evenings settle down nicely inside residential streets.

Amazing areas with am amenities. Friendly owners. Neighborhood brothers. Feeling safe and secured all time. Proud to be my locality .

Review Image

I moved to Royapettah for its central location just off Anna Salai, which makes my commute so much easier. LIC metro station is just a short walk, so I can reach anywhere in the city quickly. BMTC buses also stop right outside Amir Mahal, so I rarely wait more than five minutes. My 2 BHK society has regular water supply, though occasional street-level traffic can slow down the movement.

When our daughter enrolled at Emma Foulger Matriculation, we chose Royapettah for its top schools nearby. Government Royapettah Hospital is under a kilometre on Westcott Road, perfect for emergencies. We love the evening walks on Westcott Road, though narrow lanes can floord in heavy rain. There is a mix of heritage bungalows and new apartments here which make this suburb feel both classic and lively.

I own two 2 BHK flats in Royapettah, mostly rented to IT and bank professionals who are drawn by the metro access. Maintenance is handled by the society, but I still manage quarterly plumbing checks. Occasional waterlogging on Avvai Shanmugam Salai during monsoon is a concern yet the rental demand is strong demand which keeps the occupancy above 95% year-round.

As a food blogger, I once visited the area at Rathna Cafe to try their Idli and hot filter coffee. Then I also tried Amethyst Café’s vegan lasagna in its garden set courtyard. Portions were decent but came at Rs. 450 each. Finding public dustbins was tricky, so I carried my wrappers back to the café. Still, the mix of classic tiffin halls and modern bistros made Royapettah’s food scene memorable for me.

Royapettah’s well-lit streets and frequent bus services on Whites Road make me feel secure and commute is convenient too. My 1 BHK flat is just opposute to Express Avenue Mall, so I grab groceries or a quick coffee after work . Power cuts are rare, and water is reliable. On festival mornings, temple bells around Sri Parthasarathi temple can wake me early but the vibrant culture is worth it.
