Why Riverstone in Sugar Land is a good example of planned living, and what a similar idea looks like near Islamabad.
If you live in Houston, Sugar Land or Fort Bend County, you know Riverstone. About 3,800 acres southwest of Houston, planned for roughly 6,400 homes, with 200+ acres of lakes, 500+ acres of parks and 20+ miles of trails. Johnson Development planned it well.
Living there has costs too. Home values run from about $370,000 to $810,000 by section. One 4 bed listing at $579,000 carries about $10,663 a year in property tax and around $1,310 a year in HOA fees.
That made us think about Texas families who want a home back in Islamabad. The capital is often described as one of the most beautiful in the world, known for Faisal Mosque, the Margalla Hills and sectors like F-6, F-7 and E-7. Capital Smart City is a newer community near Islamabad, on the M-2 Motorway close to the New Islamabad International Airport, with a planned golf and leisure club, a lakeside area called La-Mer, and smart villas with phone-controlled security features.
The villas and the plan:
5 Marla (1,800 sq ft): PKR 19M to 19.85M, about $68,600 to $71,700
10 Marla (2,600 sq ft): PKR 35M to 36.3M, about $126,400 to $131,000
1 Kanal (4,500 sq ft): PKR 63M to 64M, about $227,400 to $231,000
10% to book, 10% after 30 days, plot selection at 30%, then 12 quarterly installments over 3 years.
Prices are subject to change, and taxes and government dues are extra. Rate used: about PKR 277 per dollar. Please compare the full terms before you decide.
