A few years ago, Kundrathur was known mainly for its hill temple and its quiet, semi-rural streets. Today it is one of the most talked-about residential pockets in south-west Chennai — close enough to Porur and the airport for daily commuting, yet still offering the space and value that inner-city areas have lost.
If you are considering property in Kundrathur, this guide covers connectivity, jobs, prices, amenities and what to check before you buy.
Where is Kundrathur?
Kundrathur sits in south-west Chennai, between Porur, Pallavaram and Pammal on one side and the Sriperumbudur industrial belt on the other. It is part of Kancheepuram district and lies along the Kundrathur–Sriperumbudur road.
The area is best known for the Kundrathur Murugan Temple on the hill, and as the birthplace of the Tamil saint-poet Sekkizhar, author of the Periya Puranam.
Connectivity: the biggest reason buyers are looking here
Road
- Porur is about 20 minutes away by road
- Chennai International Airport is about 25 minutes via Kundrathur Main Road
- Good access to the Outer Ring Road, connecting you to GST Road, NH-48 (Bengaluru highway) and the northern suburbs without entering the city
Metro
In October 2026, Chennai Metro opened the Poonamallee–Vadapalani stretch of Phase 2, with stations at Porur Junction and Porur Bypass. For Kundrathur residents, that means a short drive to a metro line that runs into Vadapalani — and, once the rest of the corridor is complete, on towards the city centre.
A dedicated metro station in Kundrathur itself has been discussed but is not confirmed. Buy for the connectivity that exists today.
Rail and air
Pallavaram and Tambaram suburban stations are within reach, and the airport's proximity makes Kundrathur practical for frequent flyers and NRI families.
Jobs within easy reach
Kundrathur is well placed for several employment hubs:
- Sriperumbudur–Oragadam industrial corridor — automobile, electronics and manufacturing companies
- Porur and the DLF IT Park / Mount–Poonamallee Road belt
- Guindy industrial estate and Olympia Tech Park area
- Airport and logistics hubs
This mix of manufacturing and IT employers supports steady rental demand as well as end-user buying.
Property prices in Kundrathur
Property portals estimate apartment prices in Kundrathur at roughly ₹5,300–6,500 per sq ft in 2026, with plots generally lower per sq ft. Prices vary sharply by exact location, road access and approval status, and portal estimates are not the same as registered sale prices.
What is clear is that Kundrathur remains noticeably more affordable than Porur or Pallavaram, while being only a short drive from both. For buyers priced out of those areas, that gap is the opportunity.
Tip: Check the government guideline value for the exact survey number on the TNReginet portal and compare it with the price you are offered.
Daily life: schools, hospitals and amenities
- Schools and colleges in Kundrathur, Porur and Pammal, plus several engineering colleges along the Sriperumbudur road
- Hospitals in Porur (including large multi-speciality hospitals) and nearby Pallavaram
- Markets, supermarkets and banks along Kundrathur Main Road
- Temples and lakes that give the area a calm, green character
Why villas make sense in Kundrathur
Kundrathur still has something inner Chennai has run out of: space. That makes it one of the few places close to Porur where a family can own a gated villa with its own land share at a reasonable budget.
Villas here suit:
- Families who want 3 or 4 bedrooms and a quieter neighbourhood
- People working in Porur, Guindy or the Sriperumbudur belt
- Buyers who see land ownership as long-term wealth
