Uthandi
Uthandi is a scenic coastal neighbourhood along the ECR (East Coast Road), south of Sholinganallur and Akkarai. Once a quiet fishing hamlet, Uthandi has rapidly transformed into a sought-after residential area, drawing buyers with its beach proximity, relatively affordable housing, and access to the IT corridor on OMR. The Uthandi beach stretch is popular for weekend getaways, and several beach resorts and restaurants dot the ECR in this area.
