I joined an IT firm near Porur and chose Vanagaram for my stay. My commute by bus takes just twenty minutes. Share-autos are also available easily when buses run late. Rent is still lower than inner-city areas. Internet speed is reliable for my remote work. But during monsoon, some lanes flood for a few hours.

We moved here for good schools. Our daughter studies at SV High School just few kilometres away. A small clinic and pharmacy are around the corner. We enjoy the calm streets for evening walks. Still, there’s only one public park, which gets very crowded in the evenings, so kids play in the compound.

I bought a 2 BHK here three years ago and property rates have risen about 40% so far. Rental demand is steady from students and young families. Yet, I worry delays in the proposed metro could slow further growth.

I bought a 2 BHK in Vanagaram from Singapore. My local manager sends rent and photos every month. The demand is steady so far and the rent covers my mortgage and leaves enogh profit. The bus stand is two minutes away. But I have heard fixing things takes extra days. But I’m happy with steady returns.

As someone living alone, I feel safe here. Streetlights come on early, and neighbours look out for one another. My apartment has security guards too. However, public transport after 10 pm is scarce. I must depend on cabs late at night.

I came to Vanagaram for a client meeting. I stayed in a hotel on Mount Poonamallee Road. Morning traffic was smooth but evening traffic was slow. There were many local cafes and coffee stalls nearby for quick snacks on the go.

I visited my cousin's home in Vanagaram. There is lot of pollution from the vehicles and industries here. Lots of congestion with heavy traffic and crowded streets, so I don't recommend families to live here. Workers from other states and cities live here also vehicles coming from other states pass through this area.
