Some Chennai neighbourhoods never go out of fashion. Adyar and Mylapore continue to draw families who want top schools, temples, the beach and a sense of community — all within a short drive.
Rents here hold steady rather than spike: a two-bedroom independent-house portion typically lists between Rs 20,000 and Rs 30,000 depending on street and furnishing.
Owners in these areas tend to prefer long-term family tenants, and many homes never reach the open market. Listings that do appear move fast — set your filters and check the classifieds daily.
