If yes, then Graana.com, Pakistan’s smartest property portal, shares the list of some of the best housing societies near Islamabad Airport.
Investing in Housing Societies Near Islamabad Airport
According to different studies, the value of real estate near an airport reduces due to noise pollution. However, the case is different in Pakistan as most of the properties near an airport are actually more expensive – and sometimes even higher compared to other areas of the city.
Before the opening of Islamabad Airport, property prices were relatively low. But, after it became fully operational in 2018, prices started to rise in the housing societies nearby.
To see the increase in value, you can take a look at the property prices in housing societies like Top City, Mumtaz City, PECHS (Pakistan Employees Cooperative Housing Society), etc.
For instance, the price of 5 marla plots in Top City is in the range of PKR 60 to 75 lacs. When you compare it with their prices before the opening of the airport, you will notice the sharp rise in the value of real estate here.
