DHA Lahore Phase VIII is the hottest upcoming project in Lahore where much of the work is underway. Just like any other project of the Defence Housing Authority, DHA Lahore Phase 8 is regarded as the next best thing in Lahore real estate sector, with high prospects. Much like many of the other projects falling under the umbrella of the authority, Phase VIII earned good reputation and became a hot investment spot for all kinds of investors. It has especially been able to magnet the money pouring in from overseas Pakistanis who are eying it as a good opportunity to protect their money in the long run and make some profit on it as well.

Over the course of last decade, the city of Lahore has expanded rather uncontrollably in all directions. Some of the new housing societies that are mushrooming in the city are developing in the peripheries of Lahore. Phase VIII too is considered a bit off from the other phases of DHA Lahore but since the city has expanded rather freely in all directions, it does not seem too far away. Phase VIII is a massive development which is not more than 10 minutes drive away from the Allama Iqbal International Airport.

Phase VIII is a well connected project which touches Ring Road on one side and Punjab Small Industries Housing Society on the other. Due to this and many other factors, the prices of plots in DHA Lahore Phase 8 are way out of the reach of many. Given the fact that the DHA Lahore Phase I, II, III, IV and V are such self contained developments, one can also expects Phase 8 to cater to all of the basic necessities of life. Taking a leaf out of DHA Lahore Phase I’s book, Phase VIII would have schools for both boys and girl and in all probability, a college campus as well.

All signature communities of the DHA are divided into sectors (A, B, C and so on). Each sector has its own parks, greenbelts, mosque, utility stores, small markets, vegetable/fruit stands and other small shops which may or may not include the following; butcher shop, tailor, beauty salon, clinic, pharmacy, tandoor, dry cleaner, laundry, boutique etc. Its facilities like these which make any DHA residential colony pretty much self contained for all of its dwellers, eliminating the need of travelling out of the society. In situation like this, the fact that DHA Lahore Phase 8 is a bit farther away from the city centre becomes almost irrelevant.

Although all phases of DHA Lahore are a cut above the rest but DHA Lahore Phase 8 takes the cake in the sense that you won’t see any utility poles in the area marring the outlook of the society. The wiring, electricity, telephone poles are an eyesore to say the least. But in DHA Lahore Phase 8, underground wiring has eliminated such visual pollution, giving you clear, clutter free view of the big old blue sky. Wide roads and well planned commercial areas are trademarks of DHA Lahore, which you can find fully exhibited in its Phase VIII as well. If you are contemplating where to buy plot for your home, then think no further and grab a plot in DHA Lahore Phase 8 and construct your dream home.

With its back against miles and miles of Lahore Ring Road, DHA Phase VIII is yet another mega project of DHA Lahore. All phases of Lahore DHA are complete residential colonies in themselves but that does not change the fact that they are also rather well connected with the rest of the city. DHA Phase 8 too is at a 10 minutes drive from the Allama Iqbal International Airport. Some of the neighbouring housing societies of DHA Phase VIII include Punjab Small Industries Colony and Divine Gardens. All of these are rather popular communities but not one of them is good enough to match the popularity of DHA Phase 8 Lahore.

Just like all other phases of DHA, DHA Phase VIII boasts a complete lifestyle with all comforts of life. While there are many who are eying the project for making a sound investment, there are others who have constructed their dream homes in this ideal place and are enjoying every conceivable comfort of life. Lahore real estate sector now has a handful of projects which offer the best of posh living but still, none of those projects come anywhere near the DHA Phases when it comes to offering luxury and comfort living.

DHA Phase VIII is the prime example of just how forward thinking a development has to be if it wants to cater to the A class of the society so you would find plenty of really expensive, first class educational institutes either in or around DHA Phase 8 Lahore. The LACAS school system has a huge campus nearby in the Paragon City. While for the rest of the city, the school is a long way off but if you are living in Phase VIII then it would only take you a few minutes to pick and drop your children. The school is the institute of preference for the rich kids of the area.

From an accommodation point of view, houses smaller than 1 kanal were kind of a rare sight in the DHA Lahore but you would find plenty of houses constructed over 10 marla plots and that has definitely helped to bring down the cost of homes but despite that, affording a home in DHA Phase VIII is still hard for many. For that precise reason, one popular option that many people avail is that of renting a house instead of buying. Rents in DHA Lahore are of course rather high for homes and even higher in the commercial area but it’s one way of making the luxury of living in the DHA affordable.

DHA Phase VIII boasts the same kind of impeccable security that all the DHA projects are famous for. DHA security guards patrol the areas regularly and deal with mishaps if and when required. These security guards play their vital role in maintaining peace and curbing street crimes in the area. Interestingly enough, one of the duties of these patrolling security guards is to make sure that children are not playing sports (like cricket or football) in any of the smaller parks which are rather meant for leisurely strolls and to beautify the area.

These parks come alive during the evening where both children and parents come to enjoy during the cooler days of summers. During winters, there are plenty of people who come out of their homes during the day to enjoy the sunshine. So in general, the DHA Phases, sectors and blocks might not boast a strong bond of a community life but there is no denying the fact that these parks do serve as a special place to foster family-friendly social bonds.
