Virugambakkam: between Vadapalani and Koyambedu
Virugambakkam is a residential neighbourhood on the Arcot Road side of west-central Chennai, close to Saligramam, Vadapalani, Valasaravakkam and Koyambedu. It has grown into a lively locality with small shops, schools, hospitals and a metro line close by. Many of its residents work in the nearby media and IT-service companies.
The Arcot Road is the main axis, and in Virugambakkam it carries the metro viaduct overhead, which reduces the width available for stopping at the kerb. Parking for a truck is a real concern, and we mark the loading point on the survey. Side streets, such as those around the Kaliamman Koil Street, are narrow and lined with vehicles, and the crew must manoeuvre carefully. We prefer a morning start so the street is free of delivery vehicles.
Housing consists of apartment blocks, many of them four-storey walk-ups with a stilt floor, plus a few lift-equipped buildings. For walk-ups, the number of floors is the decisive factor in pricing, because carrying a fridge or a washing machine to the third floor takes several people. Please tell us the floor number at booking. Typical moves are to Vadapalani, Valasaravakkam, Koyambedu and Saligramam, and customers who want to buy their own homes often look at Porur and Poonamallee, a half-hour drive further west.

Many apartments and independent houses, with a mix of tenants and owners. The streets are narrow in parts, and the Arcot Road is crowded. The Koyambedu and Vadapalani metro lines make it popular with commuters. We handle moves with a 14-foot truck and a team of four. Typical destinations are Saligramam, Vadapalani and Valasaravakkam. Rain may cause waterlogging near the canal, which we check.
