Hi Omanagri,

Please lower your caps lock while writing on the forum.

Thank you.

Adyar, Alwarpet,or Besant Nagar would be the best places to stay.
Though, it is not very close to the beach ( around 3 miles) I would rate Alwarpet the highest considering this being in the center of the city, good living options in Row houses or Flats, decent and educated neighborhood, proximity to good eating joints suiting the taste buds of expats, access to stores supplying daily utilities etc etc.
If proximity to beach is a priority, Besant Nagar would be a very good option with almost similar facilities as Alwarpet.
Hope this helps.

Adayar, Nungambakkam, Anna Nagar, Vellicherry, Where do you need to be?

I would avoid Santhome and Marina beach is a disgusting mess.

Not if you work in Perambur.  There is really not enough information to effectively answer the OP's question.  There are OK places to live all over, but it depends on where you need to be for work etc. I used to live in Marina Beach though.  Dirty with no services.

Thentry to find good place in Anna Nagar east 
that will be idela place

I know that but we do not know where Isabella works, or her husband works or the rest of the story.  That will determine everything.  The traffic is so horrible that commuting is not an option.

Hi Isabell,

I'd suggest to look for ECR road im sure you have aesome beach line shore and do get lot of houses ( individual ) for peaceful and private life. but you have make sure you have car else you will find very difficult to travel other places.

Happy rental hunting...
