Jafferkhanpet
Jafferkhanpet is a compact residential neighbourhood in west Chennai, situated between Ashok Nagar and West Mambalam. The locality's name traces back to the Mughal era, named after Jaffer Khan, a Nawab who governed the region. Despite its small geographic footprint, Jafferkhanpet is densely populated and well-connected, with the busy 100 Feet Road (Jawaharlal Nehru Road) running along its edge. The locality is known for its mix of old independent houses and newer apartment complexes, and its proximity to the Ashok Nagar commercial strip and the Metro rail makes it a convenient residential choice.
