Short Answer:
G-11/1 is a fully developed CDA sub-sector right beside G-11 Markaz and close to Kashmir Highway. Its stock is mostly 5 to 14 marla family houses, plus one modern apartment building, 11 Central. In September 2026, houses are asking about Rs 4.45 crore to Rs 10.5 crore, 2-bed flats Rs 3.35–3.75 crore, and full houses rent for roughly Rs 90,000 to Rs 2 lakh a month. Supply is thin, so well-built, properly documented houses on quiet inner streets sell fastest.
G-11 is one of Islamabad's most settled middle-income sectors, sitting along Kashmir Highway with a busy Markaz, established family streets, and easy access to the metro corridor, universities, and the motorway. Within it, G-11/1 stands out for its mix of family houses, a modern apartment building, and government schools inside its own streets, which keeps demand steady from end-users. For a broader look at the sector's layout, sub-sectors, amenities, and market character, see our G-11 sector guide.
This guide focuses on G-11/1, covering house and apartment prices, rents, rental yield, family-friendly streets, nearby schools, resale value, and the steps to verify and transfer a property. With supply as thin as it is, prices move with every new listing, so the ranges below are best read alongside live data. Browsing current G-11 homes and flats for sale and rent lets you test each figure against what is actually on the market.
G-11/1 Islamabad real estate is one of the steadiest family markets in the capital. The sub-sector is fully developed, its houses sit on CDA-allotted titles, and two government model institutions operate inside its own streets. Buyers here are mostly end-users, and that is why prices hold firm even when the wider Islamabad market slows down.
The quickest way to read this market is to look at what is actually on offer today. Milkiyat's page of G-11 Islamabad property listings brings houses, apartments, portions and commercial units for sale and rent across the sector into one place, with filters for buying or renting and for property type. At the time of writing, G-11/1 entries on it include a 5 marla house asking PKR 5.5 crore and a fully renovated double-storey 40x80 house asking PKR 11.6 crore, which gives a live benchmark against the price ranges in this guide. Because new G-11/1 houses and portions are added regularly, keeping that page open while you read is the simplest way to test every figure below against the current market.
This guide covers G-11/1 only: where it sits, what each plot size costs, what apartments and portions really exist, rent levels, the streets that suit families, the schools and colleges nearby, and what protects a house's resale value.
Where G-11/1 Sits and What It Offers
G-11/1 is a CDA-planned residential sub-sector that has been settled for decades, so there is no development risk, no possession wait and no "future potential" pitch to test. What you see is what you get: paved streets, established neighbours, mosques, green belts and a commercial hub on the doorstep.
Location is the main draw of G-11/1 Islamabad real estate. The 11 Central apartment building on Shabbir Sharif Road stands directly opposite G-11 Markaz, which means groceries, banks, pharmacies, eateries and service shops are a short walk from a large part of the sub-sector. Kashmir Highway gives a direct run towards the New Islamabad Airport and the motorway, and the Orange Line metro corridor, which runs 25.6 km from Peshawar Morr to the airport, follows the same highway. CDA's feeder route FR-07, running between PIMS and NUST, also passes through G-11, which helps students and office commuters who don't drive.
Day-to-day needs are covered locally. Well Med Hospital and Ali Murtaza Masjid are close by, and the International Islamic University campus is about 3 km away, which quietly supports rental demand from faculty and postgraduate families.
What Kind of Property You Will Find in G-11/1
The sub-sector is overwhelmingly made up of independent houses on standard CDA plot sizes: 25x50, 25x60, 30x60 and 40x80, with a handful of larger 1-kanal houses along the service road. Many houses are double-storey or double-unit, with separate ground and upper portions, which is why portions rather than full houses dominate the rental market here.
Older single-storey houses on 40x80 plots still come up for sale and are effectively priced as land, because most buyers plan to rebuild. On the apartment side, 11 Central is the one notable building, a newer project completed around 2024 and marketed as part of the Markaz frontage.
Supply is the defining feature of the G-11/1 Islamabad real estate market. In the second week of September 2026, live listings showed only 39 homes for sale in G-11/1 (26 houses and 13 flats) and 40 for rent. That scarcity is the single biggest reason prices here hold up. For a side-by-side view of what similar houses cost elsewhere in the sector, see our breakdown of houses for sale in G-11 Islamabad by size and sub-sector.
House Prices in G-11/1 (September 2026)
The figures below are asking prices from live G-11/1 listings in September 2026. Negotiated deals usually close somewhat below asking, especially on older houses.
| Plot size | Typical house | Asking price range | Approx. price per marla |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25x50 (~5 marla) | Livable to double-storey, 4 beds | Rs 4.45 – 5.5 crore | Rs 89 lakh – 1.1 crore |
| 25x60 (~6 marla) | Double-storey, 4 beds, 2 kitchens | Rs 5.25 – 5.65 crore | Rs 87 – 94 lakh |
| 30x60 (~8 marla) | Double or triple-storey | Rs 6.1 – 6.7 crore | Rs 76 – 84 lakh |
| 30x60 corner / main road | Renovated, 70-ft road | Up to Rs 8.5 crore | About Rs 1.06 crore |
| 40x80 (~14 marla) | Mostly older single-storey | Rs 9.9 – 10.5 crore | Rs 71 – 75 lakh |
Two patterns stand out. First, smaller houses cost more per marla, because 5 and 6 marla homes sit in the budget band where most family buyers compete. Second, position carries a heavy premium: a renovated corner 30x60 house on a 70-ft road is asking around 30% more than a regular 30x60 house, and park-facing houses list roughly 10% above comparable inner-street houses.
Corner plots, park-facing plots and sun-facing (north-open) houses typically command a premium of 5% to 15% over an ordinary interior plot of the same size. If you want to see how G-11/1 compares with the other parts of the sector on price, rent and legal process, our complete G-11 Islamabad property guide sets out the whole picture.
Apartments for Sale in G-11/1: 11 Central
If you want a flat in G-11/1, 11 Central is effectively the market. Its advertised features include lifts with generator backup, dedicated parking, a gym and round-the-clock security, and the Markaz is across the road.
| Unit | Covered area | Asking price | Approx. per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bed | 1,250 – 1,350 sq ft | Rs 3.35 – 3.75 crore | Rs 26,000 – 28,000 |
| 3-bed | About 1,750 sq ft | Rs 5.2 – 5.35 crore | Rs 29,500 – 30,500 |
A flat here costs less than most houses in the sub-sector, but you are paying a premium per square foot for a new building and a Markaz address. Before you pay any token, ask for the building's completion certificate, a maintenance dues certificate from the management office, and the developer's own transfer fee in writing.
Renting in G-11/1: Houses, Portions and Flats
G-11/1 rents well because it combines family-sized homes, schools and the Markaz in one place. Most tenants end up in a portion rather than a full house.
| Property type | Typical size | Monthly rent (Sept 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Ground portion, 2 beds | 25x50 | Rs 65,000 – 75,000 |
| Upper portion, 2 beds | 30x60 | Rs 85,000 – 90,000 |
| Full house, single-storey | 5 marla | About Rs 90,000 |
| Full house, double-storey, 4 beds | 5 marla | About Rs 1.5 lakh |
| Full double-unit house | 30x60 | About Rs 2 lakh |
| Upper or lower portion, 3–4 beds | 40x80 | Rs 1.2 – 1.75 lakh |
| Upper portion | 1 kanal | About Rs 1.75 lakh |
| 11 Central, 2-bed (unfurnished / furnished) | 1,250 – 1,350 sq ft | Rs 1.5 – 1.55 lakh / about Rs 2.7 lakh |
| 11 Central, 3-bed (unfurnished / furnished) | 1,750+ sq ft | Rs 1.8 – 2 lakh / about Rs 2.65 lakh |
Tenants and landlords should sign a written agreement and register the tenancy with Islamabad Police through the nearest Police Khidmat Markaz. An unregistered tenancy creates problems for both sides if a dispute arises later.
Rental Yield: What the Numbers Say
Put the sale and rent figures together and a clear picture emerges. A double-storey 5 marla house asking Rs 5.5 crore and renting at Rs 1.5 lakh returns about 3.3% a year before costs. A 30x60 double-unit house at Rs 6.1–6.7 crore renting at Rs 2 lakh returns about 3.6–3.9%.
The apartments do better on paper. An unfurnished 2-bed at 11 Central renting for Rs 1.5–1.55 lakh against a Rs 3.35–3.75 crore price yields roughly 4.8–5.5%, and a 3-bed yields around 4–4.6%. The trade-off is that houses carry the land value that drives long-term gains, while flats depend more on how well the building is maintained.
Family Homes in G-11/1 Islamabad
Most buyers here are end-users, not flippers. Family homes in G-11/1 Islamabad appeal because schools, mosques, parks and the Markaz are all within the sub-sector or across the road, so daily life runs without long drives. The typical family purchase is a 25x60 or 30x60 double-storey house with four bedrooms, currently in the Rs 5.25–6.7 crore band. Joint families usually look at 40x80 plots, often buying an older single-storey house to rebuild.
There are downsides to weigh. Streets near the Markaz and around the schools get congested at peak hours, parking is tight on narrower lanes, and many houses are 20 or more years old, so budget for rewiring, plumbing and roof waterproofing.
Best G-11/1 Streets for Families in Islamabad
Rather than chase one "best street", families shortlist by street type:
- Inner residential streets near the school cluster: Streets around Street 9 and Street 10 put two government model institutions within walking distance. Visit at 7:30 am and 1:30 pm to check the school-run traffic.
- Park-facing rows: Green views, space for children and better light. Expect to pay about 10% more.
- Streets one block back from the service road: Easy access to the main roads without the constant traffic noise.
- Main double road and 70-ft road plots: Best resale visibility and wider frontage, but noisier and less private. Better suited to buyers who value the address over quiet.
Walk the street at different times, ask neighbours about water pressure and gas supply, and check where rainwater collects after a heavy shower.
Schools and Colleges Near G-11/1 Islamabad
Education is one of the strongest reasons families pay G-11/1 prices. The main schools and colleges near G-11/1 Islamabad include:
- Islamabad Model College for Boys (IMCB), G-11/1: At 510 Street No. 9, running from a junior section through Intermediate, with morning and evening shifts.
- Islamabad Model School for Girls (VI–X), G-11/1: On Street No. 10, a government model school for secondary classes.
- International Islamic School of Excellence, City Campus: A private campus on Street 177, G-11/1.
- International Islamic University: About 3 km away for undergraduate and postgraduate study.
Because the two model institutions are federally run, fees stay low, which makes G-11/1 attractive to salaried families who would otherwise spend heavily on private schooling.
G-11/1 Islamabad House Resale Value: What Holds Price
In an established sub-sector, resale value is driven by land, position and paperwork far more than by fittings. The things that protect G-11/1 Islamabad house resale value are:
- Plot position: Corner, park-facing and wide-road plots consistently command higher asking prices and sell faster.
- Layout: Double-unit houses resell well because investors can rent both portions separately.
- Approved construction: An unapproved extra floor or a covered-area violation of CDA's residential zoning rules becomes the buyer's problem, and serious buyers now check for it.
- Building age: Older structures count for less. FBR values buildings up to five years old at Rs 2,500 per sq ft and older ones at Rs 1,200 per sq ft, which mirrors how buyers discount aged houses.
- Clean title chain: A complete CDA transfer record with no missing link sells at a premium over a file with gaps.
Tax also matters when you sell. Withholding taxes are charged on the higher of the declared price and the FBR value, so under-declaring saves nothing. Check the G-11 rate on FBR's current Islamabad property valuation notification before you agree a price, because the April 2026 notification has already been amended once.
Before You Buy: Verification, Transfer and Financing
Every G-11/1 purchase should follow the same order: verify the allotment and ownership with CDA, confirm there are no dues or building violations through the No Demand Certificate, check the approved building plan against what is actually built, then complete the CDA transfer and register the deed. The CDA transfer fee was cut from 3% to 1% of the FBR value in April 2026, but federal taxes still sit on top. Our step-by-step guide to the property transfer (intkal) process in G-11 Islamabad covers the documents, timelines and common delays in detail.
On financing, the government's Mera Ghar – Mera Ashiana scheme was revised in March 2026 to cover houses up to 10 marla or 2,720 sq ft and flats up to 1,500 sq ft, with loans up to Rs 10 million for first-time owners. Many 5 to 8 marla houses and 2-bed flats in G-11/1 fall inside those size limits, but the loan covers only a small share of a Rs 3.35–6.7 crore price, so most buyers will still need substantial equity.
Is G-11/1 Right for You?
Taken as a whole, G-11/1 Islamabad real estate rewards patient owners more than quick traders. For end-user families, it is one of the most practical addresses in the sector: schools on the street, the Markaz across the road and quick highway access. For investors, it offers low risk and steady tenant demand but modest rental yields of 3–4% on houses and around 5% on flats, so the case rests on long-term land value. For renters, portions give the best value, while furnished flats at 11 Central suit professionals who want the Markaz lifestyle without maintaining a house.
