Sembakkam
Sembakkam is a growing residential locality in south Chennai, situated between Tambaram and Medavakkam along the busy Tambaram–Velachery road. The locality is best known for Sembakkam Lake, a scenic water body that serves as both a rainwater harvesting reservoir and a recreational green space for residents. With the expansion of Chennai towards the south, Sembakkam has attracted significant residential development while still retaining pockets of its semi-rural character. Its proximity to Tambaram railway station and the GST Road makes it convenient for commuters.
