How this is worked out
Ranking is on median base price per square foot of quoted area across every listed unit type in each locality. Property type matters: Oragadam is plotted land only, and land is not directly comparable to built area.
Once every mandatory charge is included the 3 cheapest are Oragadam (₹5,382/sq.ft), Thalambur (₹9,643/sq.ft) and Perungudi (₹12,245/sq.ft) — charge structures differ by project, so a locality can move up or down the table between the base-price and the all-in view.
Cheap per square foot is not the same as cheap to buy — a large unit at a low rate can still cost more than a small unit at a high one.
The evidence
Median price per sq.ft by Chennai locality, cheapest base price first.
