Established since 1975, Defence Housing Authority, also known as DHA Lahore is the most desirable locality of the provincial capital. The society was initially meant for retired and serving officers of the armed forces but because of the high standard of living, it soon grabbed the attention of Lahore’s elite class and now most of the residents of DHA Lahore are civilians. In Lahore real estate, DHA Lahore holds a special status. Because of the increasing demand and value of property in DHA, the society has expanded beyond Phase VIII.

DHA offers its residents a peaceful, clean, and secure environment studded with world class amenities and a variety of recreational activities. Almost all housing societies in Lahore and other major cities of Pakistan are now following the trends set by Lahore DHA decades ago. The investors and stakeholders of Pakistan real estate too believe that a housing society, which does not offer similar features, fails to get buyers’ and investors’ attention. Each sector in Lahore DHA is well planned and provides amenities such as mosque, green belts, parks, markets, carpeted roads lined with trees, well kept sideways, and a proper garbage disposal arrangement.

The residents of D.H.A Lahore find it hard to live in other parts of the city as noise and atmospheric pollution makes it difficult for them to adjust elsewhere. The tap water in DHA is many folds better than the filtered and processed water available at various filter plants of the city. Every sector in DHA Lahore has an internal security system where each lane has a guard of its own. The residents of these sectors pay security fee for guards as well as the security measures provided by the authorities. DHA security and maintenance team is just a call away. All of these factors and more make it the finest Pakistan property.

To meet the increasing demands of people wanting to live and/or invest in DHA Lahore Pakistan the society is expanding. From initial four phases, Defence has now reached beyond borders of Lahore and several villages and towns located in the peripheries of the city have now become a part of the society. Almost all plots in Phase VI, VII and VIII are booked or sold and construction of many houses has already begun. Development work has nearly finished in Phase VIII, & IX and the booking for 5, 10, 20 and 40 marla plots has started. Phase X is likely to be launched soon but its details are not revealed yet and it will of course be closer to Phase VIII and IX.

The investors and businesses which could afford to buy property in Lahore real estate areas closer to the east and south of Lahore DHA, have been cashing on their luck as their lands became part of the ever-expanding DHA Lahore Pakistan. This formula has been successful, which is why the property value in adjoining areas has increased by many folds. Those who owned agricultural land in Barki, Jhalaran, Gobin Pura, Dhira, Bhart, Jindri, Malak Pur, Dahuriwala, Padri and Sado have become billionaire today as hectares of their land were sold on high per marla price because of its proximity with DHA’s extended phases, airport as well as other housing societies.

One of the many reasons why DHA Lahore enjoys such a strong position in the Lahore real estate sector is its sound security plan. Because of the increasing street crimes reported in DHA, DHA Security Company was founded in 2007. This company aims at protecting DHA citizens by implementing bylaws and assisting police to curb crime. Other than the patrolling police, DHA security vans also patrols during night hours to assure security for the property, assets and life of the residents.

These measures have been quite significant in reducing the number of incidents such as mobile snatching, car snatching, robberies and street thefts. Before the authorities came up with a plan to curb the increasing crime rate in DHA, dozens of incidents of mobile and vehicle snatching were reported while hundreds of them remained unreported. Most of these incidents occurred after Isha prayers because of the lack of people and traffic during the night time making inner streets of DHA sector vulnerable.

Most of these crimes include a bike and two men standing in dark corners of the street, pounding on unsuspecting victims and depriving pedestrians of their mobile phones, wallets, jewellery, and watches on gunpoint. This entire scene usually takes a couple of minutes and before the victim gets a chance to seek help from one of the houses on the right or left, the robbers are gone. However, the measures taken by DHA officials are paying off and the rate of street crimes has gone considerably low.

DHA Security Company comes up with new security plans and means to ensure the security of DHA residents and their property and makes sure that it gets the consent of the majority of DHA residents before implementing the proposed strategy. Leaflets and brochures are published and circulated in every house along with a form where the head of each family is asked to vote for the options that he/she finds better. A regular meeting is held at the DHA community club where residents of different sectors and phases are invited to discuss the matters that concern them.
