Short Answer:
G-11/2 is a fully developed, house-dominated CDA sub-sector where most homes sit on 25x40, 25x50, 30x60 and 40x80 plots. In September 2026, asking prices run from about Rs 3.35 crore for an older single-storey 25x40 house to Rs 13.5 crore for a renovated 40x80 house, roughly Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1.24 crore per marla. Corner houses usually ask 10–15% more than a comparable mid-row house. Portions rent for Rs 60,000 to Rs 2.4 lakh a month, and furnished flats near G-11 Markaz ask around Rs 2.6 lakh.
G-11 is a long-established CDA sector beside Kashmir Highway, organised around a busy Markaz and a set of residential sub-sectors that each have their own character, from apartment-led pockets to quiet streets of family houses. G-11/2 sits firmly in the second group, a built-out resale market where most homes are on standard CDA plots and good corner houses rarely come up. For a broader look at the sector's layout, sub-sectors, amenities, and market character, see our G-11 sub-sector overview.
This guide covers G-11/2 house prices by size, the premium on corner houses, rental rates for portions and furnished flats near the Markaz, rental yield, and the checks that protect buyers and tenants. With only a few dozen homes listed at any time, one asking price can shift the picture, so it pays to look at the live market. Reviewing current G-11 houses and portions for sale and rent helps you compare specific properties against the ranges below.
This guide zooms in on a single sub-sector. If you want the wider picture first, including how the G-11 sub-sectors compare, how CDA transfers work and what to verify before paying a token, start with our complete G-11 Islamabad property guide and then come back here for the G-11/2 detail. Below you will find current asking prices by plot size, what makes the spacious corner houses in G-11/2 worth (or not worth) their premium, rental rates for portions and furnished flats, and the checks that protect your money.
G-11/2 Islamabad Real Estate at a Glance
G-11/2 Islamabad real estate is a pure resale market. CDA planned and developed the sub-sector decades ago, so there are no new plots to book. Every purchase is either an existing house or an old house bought mainly for its land.
Supply is thin. At the time of writing, the main property portals carried about 26 homes for sale in G-11/2, of which 25 were houses and only one was an apartment. There were 18 rental listings, and most of them were upper or lower portions rather than full houses. That limited stock is why well-kept homes rarely stay on the market for long and why owners hold firm on price.
G-11/2 is one of the residential sub-sectors arranged around G-11 Markaz, the commercial centre ringed by Shabbir Sharif Road. Kashmir Highway runs alongside the sector, which gives residents quick access to the rest of Islamabad. Streets are a mix of narrow residential lanes, 50-foot roads and main double roads, and several current listings advertise Margalla-facing views.
Buyers who are also weighing the sub-sector next door can compare figures in our G-11/1 property guide for houses and apartments. The rest of this article sticks strictly to G-11/2.
House Prices in G-11/2 by Size (September 2026)
The table below summarises current asking prices. These are asking figures, not closed deals, so expect some room to negotiate.
| House size | Condition / type | Asking price | Approx. per marla |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25x40 (about 4 marla) | Older single-storey | Rs 3.35 – 3.5 crore | Rs 84 – 88 lakh |
| 25x40 (about 4 marla) | Double-storey or double-unit | Rs 4.15 – 4.65 crore | Rs 1.04 – 1.16 crore |
| 25x50 (5 marla) | Older double-storey | Rs 4.25 – 4.5 crore | Rs 85 – 90 lakh |
| 25x50 (5 marla) | New or like-new, 4–5 beds | Rs 5.25 – 6.2 crore | Rs 1.05 – 1.24 crore |
| 30x60 (8 marla) | Brand-new corner house | About Rs 8.75 crore | About Rs 1.09 crore |
| 40x80 (about 14 marla) | Standard to renovated | Rs 11.5 – 13.5 crore | Rs 81 – 95 lakh |
| 600 sq yd (about 1.2 kanal) | Old house, valued for land | About Rs 13 crore | Land-value pricing |
Three patterns stand out. First, construction quality moves the price as much as the plot does. On the same 25x50 plot, a brand-new house can ask Rs 1.5–2 crore more than an older one. Second, the largest houses are cheaper per marla because fewer buyers can afford a Rs 11 crore-plus ticket. Third, the 25x50 house is the most traded size in G-11/2, so it is also the easiest to resell.
A note on units: the market quotes sizes in marla, but CDA files record plots by dimensions and area. Always work from the dimensions in the file, not from the size written in an advert.
Spacious Corner Houses in G-11/2 Islamabad
Corner plots make up a small share of every street, and in G-11/2 they tend to sit on main double roads or 50-foot roads. Many are advertised with "extra land", meaning an additional strip beside the plot that adds usable open space. Here is what is currently on offer:
| Corner listing | Plot | Asking price |
|---|---|---|
| Older double-storey corner | 25x40 | Rs 4.15 crore |
| Main double road corner with extra land | 25x50 | Rs 5.5 crore |
| Brand-new, sun-facing corner | 30x60 | Rs 8.75 crore |
| Double-road corner with extra land | 40x80 | Rs 12.8 crore |
On the rental side, a 30x50 corner house with extra land is currently listed at Rs 1.8 lakh a month, well above what a standard portion earns.
Why G-11/2 Corner Houses Cost More per Marla
The clearest comparison in the current market is on 40x80 plots. A double-road corner house with extra land asks Rs 12.8 crore, while a standard 40x80 house near the avenue asks Rs 11.5 crore. That is a gap of about Rs 1.3 crore, or roughly 11%, which works out to around Rs 90 lakh per marla against Rs 81 lakh.
Buyers pay that premium for five practical reasons:
- Two open sides: More daylight and cross-ventilation, which matters in Islamabad's hot summers and damp monsoon.
- Extra land: The additional strip gives a bigger lawn, driveway or car porch, but the price is still quoted on the nominal plot size, which pushes up the per-marla figure.
- Two entrances: A second gate makes it easy to split the house into independent portions with separate meters, and that lifts rental income.
- Visibility and parking: Wider frontage and on-road parking suit families with more than one car.
- Scarcity: Each street block has only a handful of corners, so good ones rarely come up.
The premium is not automatic, though. The older 25x40 corner above asks Rs 4.15 crore, which is less than a newer mid-row 25x40 house at Rs 4.65 crore. The corner advantage attaches to the land, and a tired house can wipe it out.
Corners also have downsides. Double roads bring more traffic, dust and noise. You maintain a longer boundary wall, and building regulations generally require open space along both road-facing sides, so a corner does not always give you more covered area.
As a rule of thumb, 10–15% over a comparable mid-row house is a fair premium for a well-built corner. If a seller wants 20% or more, ask them to justify it. When the gap still looks stretched, run through these signs of an overpriced property in Islamabad before you commit.
Before paying for "extra land", confirm that the strip actually appears in the CDA file. If it is only fenced in and not recorded, you are paying for land you do not legally own.
Apartments in G-11/2
Purpose-built apartments are rare inside G-11/2. At the time of writing, only one flat was listed for sale, a 2-bedroom luxury unit of about 1,600 sq ft asking Rs 3 crore. Only one apartment was listed for rent, a brand-new 2-bedroom unit at Rs 1.35 lakh a month. Anyone who specifically wants apartment living, with lifts, managed security and backup power, usually ends up looking at the buildings around G-11 Markaz.
Renting in G-11/2: Portions, Houses and Rooms
Most G-11/2 rentals are portions of family houses. A portion with its own gate, car porch and separate meters rents noticeably higher than one that shares an entrance.
| Rental type | Size | Monthly rent (Sept 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing seat (female hostel) | Room | About Rs 22,000 |
| Furnished room / rooftop mumty | Room | About Rs 50,000 |
| Upper portion, 2 beds | 6 marla house | About Rs 60,000 |
| Ground portion with car porch, separate meters | 25x40 or 25x50 | About Rs 65,000 |
| Independent basement with separate gate | 30x60 | About Rs 85,000 |
| Upper portion | 30x60 | About Rs 90,000 |
| Furnished ground portion | 6 marla | About Rs 1.5 lakh |
| Upper portion | 40x80 | Rs 1.3 – 2.4 lakh |
| Full corner house with extra land | 30x50 | About Rs 1.8 lakh |
| Upper portion | 1 kanal to 600 sq yd | Rs 1.8 – 1.85 lakh |
| Brand-new upper portion with servant quarter, near Markaz | 16 marla | About Rs 2.4 lakh |
Demand comes from three groups: families who want CDA-sector schooling and parks, government and private-sector employees who commute along Kashmir Highway, and students and working women who take the sharing rooms and furnished mumtys.
G-11/2 Islamabad Flats for Rent Near Markaz
Because G-11/2 has so little flat stock, tenants looking for G-11/2 Islamabad flats for rent near the Markaz are really choosing between two options. The first is a portion inside G-11/2 itself. The second is an apartment in one of the newer towers around G-11 Markaz, a short walk or drive from most G-11/2 streets.
Markaz flats bring lifts, underground parking, generator backup and shops, banks and food outlets downstairs. The trade-offs are monthly maintenance charges, congestion on Shabbir Sharif Road at peak hours and less privacy than a portion with its own gate.
G-11/2 Islamabad Furnished Flat Rental Rates
| Unit | Unfurnished | Furnished |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bed flat in a newer Markaz tower (about 1,250–1,350 sq ft) | Rs 1.35 – 1.65 lakh | About Rs 2.6 lakh |
| 3-bed flat in a newer Markaz tower | About Rs 2 lakh | Rarely listed |
| Furnished room or mumty in a G-11/2 house | – | About Rs 50,000 |
| Furnished ground portion in G-11/2 (6 marla) | – | About Rs 1.5 lakh |
Furnishing adds roughly 60–75% to the rent of a 2-bed Markaz flat. That premium only makes sense for short stays, overseas visitors or professionals who do not want to buy furniture. Before signing, get a written inventory, confirm who pays the building maintenance and utilities, and agree the security deposit and advance in writing.
Rental Yield: What the Numbers Say
A 25x50 double-storey house rented as two portions brings in about Rs 1.25–1.35 lakh a month. Against an asking price of Rs 4.5–5.3 crore, that is a gross yield of roughly 3–3.5% before maintenance and taxes. A 40x80 house earning Rs 3–4 lakh from both floors, against Rs 11.5–13.5 crore, returns a similar 3–3.6%.
Flats do better on paper. A 2-bed apartment renting at Rs 1.35 lakh against a Rs 3 crore price yields about 5.4%. The catch is that houses carry the land that drives long-term gains in a CDA sector, while flats depend on how well the building is managed. For G-11/2 buyers, the realistic case for a house is capital preservation plus modest rent, not high income.
What to Check Before You Buy or Rent in G-11/2
A few checks prevent most of the problems buyers and tenants run into here:
- Ownership and file status: Ask for the CDA file number and allotment and transfer papers, then cross-check them through CDA's online property verification service before paying any token.
- Extra land and covered area: Match the plot dimensions, any extra land and the building plan against the CDA record, and ask whether the house has an approved plan and completion certificate.
- Tax value: Withholding tax under sections 236K and 236C is calculated on FBR's notified valuation for Islamabad, currently S.R.O. 644(I)/2026 as amended by S.R.O. 1335(I)/2026, or the declared price if higher. Budget for it upfront.
- Utilities: Confirm separate electricity, gas and water connections for each portion, and ask for recent paid bills.
- Tenancy paperwork: Sign a written agreement and register the tenancy with Islamabad Police. Rent disputes in the capital are governed by the Islamabad Rent Restriction Ordinance, 2001.
Is G-11/2 a Good Buy in 2026?
G-11/2 suits buyers who want a settled CDA neighbourhood with established streets, clear CDA titles and quick access to the Markaz and Kashmir Highway. It is a sensible place to park capital, especially in the liquid 25x50 size.
It is not a cheap entry point, and rental yields of about 3–3.5% on houses will not excite pure income investors. For them, a well-managed flat near the Markaz offers better cash flow. For families, a well-built corner house on a quiet road remains the most sought-after product in G-11/2 Islamabad real estate, provided the premium stays within reason.
