On the coast road, a short run west to the corridor.
Neelankarai sits on ECR rather than OMR: quieter, coastal and more residential. PG stock is thin, but the beach-adjacent proposition is real.

ECR, not OMR
Quieter and more residential than the corridor, with a short run west to the OMR offices via the link roads.
Better piped-water odds
The coastal stretch is among the areas served by the older 100 MLD Nemmeli desalination plant, which puts it ahead of most of OMR.
Thin PG stock, real appeal
Far fewer PGs here than on the corridor, but for anyone who wants the coast rather than the service road, it's the trade to consider.
