Re: Lahore
Iqbal town is over crowded & I dont think it has any good smell left in it, used to be good place to live until 2002/2003 after that its reputation is down the hill, even though still very very great area. (Hardly any empty plot left to buy).
Defence is over-priced without any reason. Yet clean & organised, if u can afford I’d recommend Defence.
Gulberg is old, even though they are rebuilding most of areas still its old, its not over priced but due to its location is expensive. Safety is not different from other places of Lahore.
Depending how much u can spend, I’d recommend Valencia or Wapda Town. Johar Town can be another option but Johar town is LDA Scheme & LDA is most corrupt place in Lahore after WAPDA. (WAPDA Town, however, is a private society & ur investment is secure there). Buy only in Johar Town if u transfer that land & start building immediately on that land & someone must start living in the building (too much fraud in Johar Town, even though its very very nice area - next to Canal).
Township is old area, some parts are OK but most of Township is messed up. Other place I can recommend is area on Raiwind Road (try not to buy anything LDA related, go for private schemes but seek advice before signing/paying). Izmir, EMI are all fine (even though a bit far from Lahore centre).
