It falls under Valasaravakkam municipality, in the Maduravoyal Assembly constituency, Tiruvallur district. The neighbourhood was developed by the City Lando Corporation in the late 1960s.

The area is traversed by state road number 113.

Neighbourhoods

Chennai corporation students' play ground

Ramakrishna Nagar

Ramakrishna Nagar is located in the centre of Alwarthirunagar. 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.
