Waiting for Chennai Metro, Jeeva Nagar grows - photos

 As the second phase of Chennai Metro is given the green signal, the residents of Jeeva Nagar wait for better transport links, in the post-COVID-19 era. Things are bound to improve in 2021, and the property here will be come even more valuable, as a station is planned in Kumananchavadi, about 800 metres away.

At present, the residents are leading a quiet life, with some incremental housing activity taking place in this CMDA-approved layout. 

Here are some pictures from 2019 and 2020

Porur flyover nearing completion, bringing cheer to Jeeva Nagar

News is now out that work on the Porur flyover is nearing completion (published by The Hindu here) bringing cheer to residents of several localities West of the junction connecting Mount-Poonamallee Road and Kunrathur/Arcot Roads.

This will enable traffic from Poonamallee and Iyyappanthangal to flow quickly East to Nandambakkam/St.Thomas Mount and in the reverse direction, reducing travel time.

This is the main road that connects Chennai with Sriperumbudur, Ambur, Vaniyambadi, Krishnagiri, Hosur and Bengaluru.

Centre of housing boom

There are about 3,000 apartments being built in the area West of Porur junction involving such big projects as Osian Chlorophyll, Prince Highlands, Prestige Bella Vista, Sterling Ganges, ETA Jasmine Court, Southern Shelters, Audco Nagar and, not the least, Jeeva Nagar. There are numerous other housing developments taking place here, with shopping and services closely following.

Buses and other vehicles going towards Kumananchavadi-Poonamallee on the one side, Mangadu, and Saveetha Dental College, besides the upcoming Aravind Eye Hospital will be able to move without a block at Porur.

We await the early opening of the facility!



 

Road level raised in Jeeva Nagar, Kattupakkam, avoiding threat during rains

With great effort, the residents of CMDA-approved layout Jeeva Nagar in Kattupakkam have raised the level of the roads inside the layout by several feet, purchasing construction debris and levelling it at their own cost.

As a result, the layout with one 30-foot wide road near the parks, and two 30-foot wide roads have now been placed above the normal flooding level. This makes vehicular access during the flood events that have been described at other places in this blog. 

Jeeva Nagar is now more attractive as a result of this initiative, and makes for an attractive residential destination. 

The development coincides with the sale of almost all of the 2,600 units in Prestige Bella Vista about 3 km to the East of the layout, near Iyyappanthangal bus terminus on Mount-Poonamallee Road. The Osian Chlorophyll development beyond Sri Ramachandra Medical College on the same road is also coming up fast, as is Prince Highlands, ahead of Bella Vista. 

Together, the entire area between Porur junction and Kumananchavadi junction will have about 5,000 residential units, making Jeeva Nagar in the same area with open views and good access a fantastic housing development.
