Questions buyers ask

For many buyers, yes. Tambaram-belt family suburb, with good connectivity and social infrastructure. Confirm the water source and your commute for the specific project.

Families and end-users, and professionals working around Tambaram rail junction.
What is the PIN code of Selaiyur, Chennai?
Selaiyur's PIN code is 600073. It falls under Tambaram City Municipal Corporation in Chengalpattu district.
Which college is in Selaiyur?
Madras Christian College's 320-acre Tambaram campus sits on land from the former Selaiyur forest; the college moved there on 30 January 1937. Air Force Station Tambaram and two Kendriya Vidyalayas are also nearby.
Where is Selaiyur and how is it connected?
Selaiyur lies east of central Tambaram on the Tambaram-Velachery road, administered by the Tambaram City Municipal Corporation. The nearest railhead is Tambaram station, and MTC routes such as 51 to Velachery and 99 towards Adyar serve Camp Road, per Wikipedia.
What do homes cost in Selaiyur?
Square Yards shows entry prices of roughly ₹27 to ₹74 lakh for ready-to-move projects on its Selaiyur list, and neighbours such as Tambaram at ₹5,800 and Sembakkam at ₹6,700 per sq ft. Casagrand Estia is quoted differently by Property Point (₹61 to ₹85 lakh for 2 and 3 BHK) and Square Yards (2 BHK about ₹47 to ₹48 lakh, 3 BHK about ₹68 to ₹70 lakh), so ask for a unit-wise price sheet.
Is there a metro near Selaiyur?
No. A Tambaram-Velachery-Guindy corridor that would follow this road is at the DPR stage, and a CMRL official called it years away in December 2025. Treat metro access as speculative.
