I do not understand why the trend is that commercial facing plots are comparatively cheap. In my point of view the price for the comm.facing plots should be more than others. Example, if someone visit DHA-6 Block B & H, Some houses in B block facing comm. looking very beautiful rather than others because these houses have also front to Main Boulevard of DHA-6 and other some houses have back to the Main Boulevard are not looking very beautiful if you see the price for front plots are approx. 85 to 90 lack and back blots are being sold more than 100 lack. If would buy plot for house I definitely go for front plot.

Mr. Jameel, please comment.

Dear Mr. Farooq,
The facing commercial plots rates are always lower than general rates because

1) Traffic Issue
2) Privacy issue in front of 4 storey commercial plaza.
3) Noise problems

With the passage of time due to construction of more & more commercial plazas,the front of facing commercial plot/ house will be the 4 storey commercial plaza not Main Boulevard of DHA Phase 6.Majority of People love to live in quite streets

Inspite of Traffic / Noise issues Facing Comm. is still better option than the following:

- Near Boundary
- Facing Park
- Facing Graveyard- Mosque
- Facing University / School
- Facing Hospital
- Facing Marriage Hall
- Facing Play Ground

Yaqoub Bhai,
Facing Park will be considered as first choice and facing commercial is the socond. Anyhow, both are good choice.

There are certain questions regarding locations,but they dont have clear answer and market trend goes like ""Bhair Chall""

Facing park is rated good as view from you terrace is good but in my opinion is serious risk of security and privacy, people can sit in park and watch who and when is entering house. The criminals can find good timing to enter the house.
Corner Plot is good for Gali Mohallah system but has no use in Controlled societies like DHA, Rther again it is security risk.

Facing Commercial is also rated less because of Lack of Privacy but also have certain advantages , there are no serious security risk area gets populated earlier and daily life things are available in walking distance. In less controlled societies one may use these plots for semi commercial ways like clinic beauty parlor, office or head office of certain business , as long as you not make it in form of Plaza there are no issues. However in DHA where there is huge difference in price of commercial and residence DHA may be doing Spying who is running office in these plots.
Most of bad locations given above may not be bad for living but quick resell is difficult due to market preception.

I 100% agree with Mr. Jameel's analyas but comm. facing house can be rented as Godown and one can earned double rent. One of my friends is using as godown in DHA and earning handsome rent.
