Bahria vs B17

Projects & Developments Residential Schemes
#1

Yesterday, all of my colleagues who live in bahria/dha got stuck in office because of some protest which was being held at islamabad highway. I know that living standard in bahria/dha is much better than b17/d17/g15 but in my opinion things like these protests also have an impact on your decision to build a house.

It is the 4th time in last 2 months where islamabad highway was closed for certain amount of time because of these protests. I have got plot in bahria and b17. Although i am inclined towards bahria for construction of my own house but things like these have shattered my confidence.

B17 as a sector is a good one but only question mark was tarnol phatak where i got stuck one day for atleast an hour. Since tarnol phattak is about to be expanded so i am seriously thinking of construction in b17. I am not considering MA till now becasue know it will be built in next few years.

Can you guys please advise me on this. Thanks

Well i would recommend B-17. As you will be constructing your house and that will take almost 6 months to 1 year, in the mean while MA will get resolved as it has to be completed in the current fiscal year. After completion of MA, B-17 will be much more superior and comfortable then bahria of dha.

I have seen one major flaw in bahria, it is that they keep on extending and start ignoring the ones before. These days they are all over bahria town karachi and have ignored all the other projects in pakistan.

Sir Shahbaz ko mamooly say na larraiy lol. DHA and Bahria are much better societies and one can not compare them with B17.

Distance from Isb , I agree is a major problem with both DHA as well as Bahria. But again B17 is also very far away. I went to B17 on a Sunday with relatively less traffic and I had a feeling of driving through at least 3 cities to get to B Block in B17. Its very far!

After MA , things may improve as you can get to D12 and then onto Khayaban e Iqbal rather quickly but with current approach through GT road , B17 is 3 cities away!

I know a friend who sold his vitz to buy a sedan,as it could easily fit in his childs pram,

in islamabad even if a cracker is ignited people call it a bomb

For living Bahria is Better, after the new airport, VIP movement will shift to Zone2, Furthermore, people would live near societies near new airport in coming years, that will ease the problem and in Zone 2 it will increase. Islamabad Express way is going to become 10 lane in near future and that too would be signal free.

B17 has dust, blasting and depression issue which is not livable by any means and there is no quality facilities nearby such as

shopping, hospitals and schools.

Another thing to consider is noise, you have to bear the noise of air traffic every now and then if you live near airport. Bahria will be a peaceful living experience.

Bahria has own problems such as expensive cost of living and so on.

My preference is Bahria, Margalla avenue will not complete in near future. It will take some time.

Novice you may be right every one ha his own circumstances. What would you suggest for person whose rest of family is in f- 10 and job in blue area .

First zone should be decided then with in that zone you can compare societies. As whole I prefer b 17 .

#7

Salam, thats what I am wondering as well, DHA Vs B17 … Can we compare both even in long term vision. Regards

#8

Bahria Enclave is also a better option. All depends where your center of gravity is. I mean job.

On a lighter side, in-laws are also center of gravity for many.

If someone has job in F-6, blue area or Pak secretariat etc, Bahria Enclave is better.

B-17 cannot match any of the Bahrias.

#9

I think Bahria Enclave is better option amongst the above.

#10

Next five years are of B 17 and Bahria Enclave

#11

Seriously, I am unable to understand that if next 5 years are of B-17 due to Margalla Avenue, than why not of D-17 and Cabinet division? And many other adjoining societies? Is it due to the fact that a lot of people have invested in B-17? B-17 is a big housing project having blocks till F probably.

#12

Malik sahib all societies in that area will benefit from MA, B17 is mentioned again and again bc of a better ( expected ) development on the back of their previous project , E11.

#13

Thanks. Got the point but isn't is so that Multi is compared with Police Foundation etx in E-11 and it fares better. Otherwise, E-11 multi has small streets. 40 Ft streets for all 500 Yards houses. They gave space to a big school in streets which cause traffic jams for multi. Even that school is in cul-de-sac street. Only one park is in Multi which is also not a proper park. Multi's sewerage also goes to Nullah like all other societies.

Its just that when it is compared with Police Foundation, Federation and Services, Multi is better.

#14

I think E-11 , overall disappoints you though there are some good streets. But agree that Multi made its name at the expense of police foundation.

#15

I really want to understand qualities of Multi. I intend to invest in Margalla Avenue benefiting society and cant figure out reason of B-17’s hike in comparison with adjoining societies. Especially when Multi is compared with Bahria on forums. For me, Multi made a big environmental mistake in B-17. Further, I think Multi promotes/protects/help its dealers a lot. This might be the reason of B-17’s hike in comparison with adjoining societies.

@Ahmed Khan

I will sincerely suggest you to sell plot in B-17 and get the same in F-17 if you feel that B-17 is too far away from Islambad.

I have plots in both B-17 and F-17. I am starting to construct my own house in F-17 as it is more closer to Islamabad and more than 170 house are constructed with people living there.

The choice is yours.

E-16/17 ASLO Have benefits of good location location you may avoid traffic jams of fateh jang road…multi just trying to make people fool as far as B/f-17 projects are concerned. …

#18

Anees bhai location of F-17 is not that good because you have to navigate between trucks and rehra traffic. Only advantage over B-17 is closeness to Islamabad.

But after Margalla Avenue completion, B-17 will also be close to Islamabad on the F-10 Markaz side. In the long term, B-17 being on a bigger GT Road as compared to Fateh Jang Road will be far ahead of F-17 inshaAllah.

As far as Bahria is concerned, just look at the location of Bahria. On one side you have to go through Katcheri Pindi traffic and rush hour traffic near Ayub park and High Court. On the other hand, you go through Islamabad Highway then drive along PWD crowded and encroached main road. Bahria is surrounded by congested localities.

B-17 has hills, forest and lakes nearby. This is why Zone 2 location is overall much nearer to and similar type of green environment comparable to main Islamabad.

#19

@Anees... Thanks for the advise.

But i never considered F17 because for me its between 2Bs (Bahria or B17)

F17 is also good but i am already in a fix to choose between 2 societies. I dont want a 3rd option :)

#20

B-17 is much better then Bahria Enclave.
