Property gurus and expert, i am new member on the forum. I really appreciate your contribution and experts opinions.
Could anyone please shed some light on the pros and cons of D-17 MVHS for living point of view? Is it cooperative housing society like E-17 & B-17? Any comments on its access, development, maintenance, society management, security, commercial activity etc will be appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance.
MVHS is not cooperative society. Its a private project like Bahria Town / River Garden.
CDA NOC
Accessible from main Peshawar Road(GT Road).
In future it will be accessible from Motorway through Sangjani Interchange AWT.
Good infrastructure.

Thanks a lot Mian Nadeem. If it is not cooperative society and management is private, that’s mean it is risky to build your home here?
How the management keep maintenance once all plots/commercial plots will be sold? Will government ever take control of it or resident have to rely on private management? I think its risky when it comes to private developer, isn’t it? I am not aware of property matters, please help me to understand it.
Anybody knowledgeable of D-17, who can comment please?

Thanks Usman for your such a detailed reply.
Please also answer this question, How the management keep maintenance once all plots/commercial plots will be sold? Will government ever take control of it or resident have to rely on private management? Is the transfer is through CDA? Will CDA take control of D-17 ever?
In zone-II islamabad CDA have issued NOC to some societies as i discussed in my previous reply Yes CDA can take control in future from societies by mutual understanding with management but it have very rare chances as CDA can't handle zone-I properly that's why they introduce private sectors in different zones to fulfill housing sector demand in islamabad
Transfer is according to CDA by laws through respective society office
Even construction of houses is also according to CDA by laws
Mean while society Management will take maintenance fees annually for maintenance
Is there any other project/society of the same developer in Islamabad? Is electricity and telephone lines are underground?
Usman Nawaz sb,
I have seen your detail post about D-17.I never been in D-17 even for a visit but i have a plan to do a visit. Please tell me how sale/purchase in D-17 i mean for investment purpose. How is G-block because i have seen some add for plot sell on OLX.
Generally a middle-to-low-income neighbourhood, there is no Wow factor, except rainwater reservoir/dam. Has been around for ages, but construction of houses too slow.
Access from GT road is good, management is ok, development is low cost, electricity is overhead (i think).
Nutshell: for investment and living, it is..., so, so.
Thanks Isloo for your detailed and unbiased comment. Do you not think that environment will be good in kanal plot area?
Is there good number of parks and open spaces in society? Which schools are operational there? Any cricket & football ground?
Is there CDA / Government building (or plan to build) Govt; School, Colleges / FG Colleges (For Boys & Girls) in Zone-2 such sectors which are being developed by private societies (Like Multi, Margalla View etc)?

Usman Nawaz sb,
Thanks for correction u r right i mixed D-18 with D-17. Can you please tell me there is any investment scope left in D-17 or prices have been saturated, Please mention the current prices of 10 marla, 1 Kanal.
Dear tanoli sb,

2)D-18 Interchange
3)CPEC route
Price of 30x70 is 45-50 lac
40x80 is 55-65 lac

Usman Nawaz,
Thanks for update of regarding prices of plots, but other things like Margalla Avenue ( we are not sure when it will built) CPEC route ( Is long way to built) and D-18 interchange ( I have no news about it when it will open?)
Can you please tell me do you deal in commercial plots in D-17 ? If yes please update me with size and prices.i am looking for a 5-6 marla (30x40) size of commercial plot on investor rate.
Usman sb,
Please educate us about the extended area of D-17... I have heard they are converting the green belt between D-17 and D-18 into plots? How true it is and what will be the impact? Have they got any approval for the extended area from CDA, I think they have not?
