Dear Atiq Raja / other experts,

Out of these two sectors of Islamabad (E11 & D12), which one do you think is better to have a 10 marla plot in and construct a house after 2 years. What is the price range for 10 marls plots in these two sectors and is there any comparison between these two or both are two different entities.Location wise which sector can be termed as ideally located for those who are nature lovers.Also please tell the present status of both.

Thanks

Of the two, E-11 is better choice over the period of two years for construction of house.

- Best located. Closer to regular Sectors,commercial and business areas of Islamabad.
- Livable right now. All amenities available
- Comparatively cost effect.
- Beautiful scenic view of Margala Hills.
- Further potential of price appreciation.
- 10 Marla Plot price range 65-85 lacs. 25x60 (approx)7 marla 40-45

D-12 has also positive points but time to become livable place might require further 5-6 years which renders its positive points of no use till then. The main issue with D-12 is that CDA does not have enough funds to keep its development continue.

Rest is your own choice

E-11 is much better than D-12.

better ask this question from unbiased person who do not owns any plot in those two sectors.

Best thing to do is ask your wife. You do no need any other expert.

E-11 choo chhoo ka maraba hai or D-12 proper CDA ka sector hai.Jo mustakbil ka E-7 hai.D-12 is the best sector of Islamabad in future.

D-12 is better then E-11, If u go to E-11. Then E-11/3 is best. COz it is developed by MPCHS.

nabeel you are 100% correct Aamar Bhai and Amjad Bhai both are living in E-11 and every time parsing for E-11.

I doubt if they have convinced their wifes yet .

E-11 is a bunch of substandard societies trying to prove they are Islamabad resident otherwise people know them living in GOLRA (PIND).

The effort of both of my these friend is to satisfy them selves otherwise there is no comparison of E-11 with D-12.

Spread the MAP of both of these sector in front of you and you will get the answer. Lion, Leopard and cheetah are known from cat family but a CAT is no way near any of them so is sector E-11 know as a sector but people call it GOLRA Pind

Thanks Aamir,Amjad and Ch Farukh for you input.How difficult it becomes to reach to a conclusion when you get a mixed response like this.I actually intend to build a house after 2 years and would like to have the plot now.But friend's opinion about D12 is that it might take around 3 to 4 years before it becomes a livable sector. Can someone put the cost of 10 marla plot in D12 at the moment.E11 is being developed by private sector and not CDA, am i right.

D-12 Owner replied on Saturday, June 5, 2010 02:12 PM 

Dear Limo,

First to declare that I am a D-12 owner therefore my opinion may be bias. Yes D-12 is CDA ad E-11 is private. You also asked from nature lovers perspective. D-12 is closer to Margala Hills and if you look at the maps of both sectors you will find that D-12 has a lot of common areas (parkes, play ground, green areas etc). E-11 only have plot with no common areas.

As we all agree that onyl Allah SWT knows about the future. My personal opinion is that in two years D-12 will be semi-livable (just like any other society, where when you see 20- 30% homes built and people start to live in them). I myself have started the construction process and know of a few more families that are in the process of designing, getting CDA approval etc).

You must also ask what in the long term future of both societies. Judge for yourself but CDA sectors are kept up and have more value. Some predict that D-12 is the future VIP sector of Islamabad and the only one that will come close to E, and F series CDA sectors.

E-11/3 I hear is also good, but again look at the map, visit both sites and talk to true Islamabad folks and get their opinion. As I said my opinion may be bias being an owner in D-12.

In conclusion I personally would highly recommend D-12, but please do you own research. A few years from now, I don't think we will be comparing D-12 with E-11, rather with F8/10/11. E-11 may not be maintained by private socities, as CDA does to it's own.

There are many posts on this subject. Please search and you will get more details.

Good luck!

I will also vote for D-12 and believe till the life line of this sector is in the hand of contractor the fingir will get pointed out on this sector

But the minute the allotee of this sector will take the charge senario of this sector will change in days.

So many tasteful people are holding their plots for a long time and latly very high ranking pesonal are allotted plots in this sector and soon there will be latest and most modren construction in place.

As an end product D-12 will be well ahead from most of the Islamabad sectors and E-11 will be no where in comparison.

Question replied on Saturday, June 5, 2010 06:32 PM 

If sector E-11 is so bad then why CDA has planned Blue Area in this sector and why Marriott group has bought more than 20 kanals of land in E-11/3. And why 100s of families living there and why massive construction of houses and commercial areas is going on in full swing all around in this sector.

Sector D-12 was opened in 1988 and probably is the one worst hit by delays in development work. Why everything concerning with D-12 is still in future tense and on map.

D-12 Owner replied on Saturday, June 5, 2010 11:40 PM 

My Question, because Mr Limo asked about what will be better in the future (2 years from now) and not today. You are right that D-12 is the worst hit from over two decades of delay. From all ground work, it is clear that those delays are over.

I also have a family member in E-11 who has sewage issues due to improper development. I am not sure what exact sector they live in but I am pretty sure it is NOT E-11/3. From what I have heard that E-11/3 is the best area.

Mian Nadeem replied on Sunday, June 6, 2010 06:45 AM 

No comparison between these two D-12 is much better.
