Velachery is surrounded by IIT Madras in the north-east, Taramani in the east, Adambakkam in the northwest. Most of the lands are populated with houses. As more and more IT parks are emerging on the Old Mahabalipuram road, IT & working-class people are settling in Velachery. The most posh areas in velachery are Seethapathy Nagar, Dhandeeswaram and Vijaya Nagar. Some other areas are Ramagiri Nagar, Baby Nagar, Seshadripuram, Annai Indira Nagar, Anna Nagar, Tansi Nagar, Sarathy Nagar, Udhayam Nagar, AG's colony, Ram Nagar, Devi Karumariamman Nagar, Gangai Nagar, Venkateshwara Nagar and Velachery TNHB.
There are three arterial roads namely Velacheri Main Road, Tharamani Link Road, and Velacheri Bypass Road. The last two roads are planned to be 100 Ft Roads including the encroachments on sides seen today.
This part of the city was considered to be backwards couple of years back, but now things have changed rapidly after a string of key residential projects, one of the pioneers in this being the development of Regal Palm Gardens near the velachery bus terminus. The success of this apartment was so profound that the realty prices have shot up in this region, and currently it is one of the most sought after residential areas in the city. The proximity to the airport and the fast development of the main roads are a definite plus, with commuting time to the heart of the city cut down very rapidly.
