Islamabad International Airport is the major factor for the popularity of many housing societies in Islamabad’s Zone II and Rawalpindi’s parts located close to the transit facility. The ongoing development and impending launch this month has made people eager to make an investment decision accordingly, with some in a hurry to do so as soon as possible. In order to do that right, all aspects of a project and its investment potential must be considered.

Following are some of the societies that are reaping the benefits of being located close to the airport and the planned infrastructure in its surrounding areas:

  1. Capital Smart City
  2. Top City
  3. Mumtaz City
  4. PECHS
  5. CBR Town
  6. B-17
  7. PAF Tarnol
  8. Faisal Town
  9. University Town
  10. PIA Enclave
  11. Al-Mairaj Garden
  12. Fatima Town
  13. Airport Enclave
  14. Blue World City
  15. Qartaba Housing Society
  16. Al-Haram City
  17. State Life Insurance Employees Cooperative Housing Society
  18. Wapda Town
  19. Green City
  20. Motorway City
  21. Graceland Housing Society
  22. City Garden
  23. Engineers Cooperative Housing Society
  24. Faisal Residencial
  25. Gandhara City
  26. Shalimar Town
  27. Eighteen Islamabad

  30. Graceland Housing Society

Latest update on some of these societies

Among these societies, some need little to no introduction, and that’s especially true for Top City-1. This particular society has a dedicated network of real estate agents who, along with an excellent social media marketing team, ensure that every positive aspect of the society and its eternal bright future is shared with potential clients with utter conviction. The timing for Top City-1 getting clearance is perfect for the society to do even well in terms of property demand and potential price appreciation.

While the situation for Mumtaz City isn’t bad at all, the fact remains that the investors active here have been shifting investments from Top City-1 to Mumtaz City and vice versa in the past. If you are confused picking between the two, this blog might be of help.

The future seems even brighter for Capital Smart City because the authorised agents for this project are also experienced real estate marketers. That, combined with the phenomenally stunning project details, will make this society the first one to introduce smart city concepts in the country. You can read all about in our latest blog on Capital Smart City.

University Town is also a head-turner in this part of the city, which not only enjoys a prominent location on Kashmir Highway, but also shares the neighbourhood with Eighteen Islamabad – a project featuring high-end villas. Check out the latest on University Town by clicking here.

PFA Tarnol, also known formally as Fazaia Housing Scheme, tempts property investors with its attractive rates and noble reputation of the developer. The society seems ready to experience a high tide of investment activity and a consequent rise in property rates. You can read all about it by reading our recent update on PAF Tarnol.

The collective impact

It is a common trait in Pakistan’s property market that any appreciation in value of real estate in certain premises leaves an immediate impact on the rates in neighbouring societies and areas. So if it is predicted that property rates in the society they will increase in the future, that can be partially true. For solid appreciation in rates, appropriate developments, including the handing over of possession in the committed time and per the committed standards is a must. While determining the timelines of such developments during hyper-active trade times becomes difficult, it is even more crucial for you to do so.

So readers, if you are being tempted to invest in a society around the Islamabad International Airport or its extended radius, do your research thoroughly before you agree to invest an amount as little as less than a hundred thousand rupees per marla.

  16. Dear Samra,
    Foreign Office Employees Cooperative Housing Society [FOECHS] also got left out in your above mentioned list. kindly include the same as it is adjacent to I-16 and is only 7 Km from Thalian Interchange.

  17. HI,

    I am from Islamabad. I am looking at these societies from the last 10 to 15 years.

    There is no development in these societies, the developers just continue to collect investments from Investors.
