=== Ramakrishna Nagar ===
Ramakrishna Nagar is located in the centre of Alwarthirunagar. There, a large recreation area, developed in the 1980s, is used for playing [[cricket]]. However, in 2008, new constructions encroached on the area and flooding is a common problem during the rainy season.

=== Velan Nagar ===
Velan Nagar is approximately 1 km from the Alwarthirunagar bus stop and about 800 m from the Lamech bus stop. During the late 1980s, Velan Nagar was affected by stagnating water during the rainy season. By the 1990s, the area had developed into a very large residential area, decreasing the number of parks and making cycling more difficult. There is a [[Banyan tree]] that is considered holy. The [[Ganesh]] temple in Velan Nagar has been renovated.
