To assist you in making an accurate and informed decision we have come up with a ” list of top societies of Islamabad ideal for home construction in 2024″.

This very first step of searching for an ideal housing society can be quite daunting and overwhelming. Indeed, the most important step in house construction is to choose the best society to live in because you will be putting in all of your savings, often times a lifetime of savings, to construct on this immovable piece of land.

Therefore, we have put together a list of Islamabad’s top societies or areas that we think will be suitable for constructing your own house in 2024 and start living in the next one to two years.

If you are looking for a place to build your house in Islamabad in the next one to two years, this post is just for you!

Why is it important to choose the right neighborhood?

The mesmerizing views of Margalla hills and the tree-lined streets make Islamabad a heaven-like city in Pakistan.

Although everyone desires to live and own a comfortable home in the strategically planned and beautiful city of Islamabad, selecting the right neighborhood or society can be quite daunting.

To meet the growing demand for housing in the city, a number of residential and commercial projects have emerged, each striving to be the first choice of the masses. However, all projects have positive as well as some negative aspects attached to them.

Often, people are impressed with the marketing efforts of the developers or low prices and may overlook important details that are crucial for long-term growth of the property and the living experience.

Purchasing land is the first step in the process of house construction, also the most important one!

Why is purchasing land the most crucial decision in the whole process?

The plot for your house is a piece of land which is an immovable property. Once you start construction on the plot, you are stuck with the unchangeable features of the area such as location, basic amenities, road network, etc.

For example, the plot might have been very cheap but if it’s too far from your office or has inadequate availability of water, it will bring discomfort to you everyday.

Moreover, it is crucial to make an informed decision and prevent yourself from any fraud.

Choose a good and reliable real estate agent to provide you with honest consultancy and accurate information so that you can be protected against frauds.

To help you make an informed decision in the important aspect of your home-buying process, Islamabad Projects has brought a list of Islamabad’s top societies for living.

Before going into further details of the projects, let’s discuss the criteria that we have used in the process.

Criteria: How to choose the best society to live?

If you are looking for a plot or villa for investment purpose, check out our article on Top Five Projects among The New Housing Societies in Islamabad. In that post, we discuss the criteria to choose the top projects from the viewpoint of an investor.

However, selecting a society for constructing your house with the aim to start living in it or get rental income calls for a slightly different criteria.

The suitability of a residential area is totally subjective and depends on the preferences of the person.

Nonetheless, there are some features that everyone should consider when faced with the decision of choosing a place to live!

Here is an outline of the features that make a society suitable for residence:

Location:

Location is one of the most important aspects of any real estate project.

Distance:

If you plan to start living in the next two years, you should consider how far it is from your workplace or educational institutes.

Societies that are farther from the city center are usually more affordable. However, you need to evaluate the extra time and cost taken to commute from your new home against the cost saving on the land.

A good benchmark to evaluate that would be the level of development and existing or expected population by the time you move to the place.

Even if it is far, the high level of population naturally brings amenities to a locality such as healthcare, schools, banks, shopping centers, etc. that will make your living experience comfortable.

Access Road:

Another important aspect of location is the access road! The distance traveled on a highway is much easier as compared to the distance covered on a narrow two-way road.

As an example, compare the access roads to B-17 and Gulberg Islamabad. Details are discussed below.

Developers:

We have repeatedly emphasized the importance of evaluating the developer before you invest in any real estate project, click here to read more.

In short, a good track record of the developers in the market ensures that developers deliver as per their commitments.

Since you plan to start living right away, you also need to consider the management of the society. The developer should set up a smooth system for effective management and maintenance of the society for long run.

NOC and Possession

The foremost thing is to confirm that the residential society has acquired no-objection certification (NOC) from the respective development authority such as CDA or RDA.

Furthermore, it is imperative to make sure that the plots are available for possession right away or by the time you expect to start construction. Delays in the real estate sector are not a new thing. There are a number of uncontrollable factors that might slow the development and delay possession.

If you plan to start construction of your home in the next 1 – 2 years, we highly recommend to get plot in a developed and possession-able area.

Features and Amenities

Another important aspect to consider is the features and amenities offered by a society. Some of the prominent features that are necessary for a good living standard are as follows:

  • Width and quality of street roads
  • Availability and size of Mosque
  • Placement of commercial areas
  • Availability and quality of parks
  • Availability of utilities including water, electricity and gas

Furthermore, the ability of the developer or the project to attract good quality commercial projects will also immensely impact your living experience.

Population Density

The level of population in a new society give a better indication of the living conditions.

Having some neighbors around has a lot of benefits, security being the most important.

Furthermore, as already mentioned, the high level of population naturally brings amenities to a locality such as healthcare, schools, banks, shopping centers, etc. that will make your living experience more comfortable.

First Mover Advantage

Important! The society might not have any population right now, which is fine! You are looking for the level of population by the time you plan to start living in your new home.

Once you start construction, many will follow. By the time your construction work is complete, which may take 1.5 to 2 years, a lot of your neighbors will follow!

This is where you have a high chance of getting First-Mover Advantage, quite literally.

As more and more people start construction and move to an area, land prices will rise very quickly, increasing the value of your property and reducing your cost of house as compared to the new comers.
