Types of Plots in DHA Karachi

Plots in this area have a limited variety because of the society’s regulations. Residential plots range from 120 sq.yds. to 1000 sq. yds. Within this range, 240 and 500 sq. yd. are the two most popular area sizes. Price index trends of 500 sq yd plots also indicate that there is a steady increase in the value of land in the area and the costs are expected to keep on increasing. You can either buy a plot for investment or you can build your dream house on the purchased land. If you decide to build a house, you can hire your own architect and/or builder and pick your own building materials as there are no restrictions from DHA authorities, quite unlike other popular residential schemes e.g Askari.
