A housing development consists of a group of apartments or homes that are typically identical in design, configuration, and sometimes even size. Real estate builders develop these projects on a single piece of land. In most housing developments, the families enjoy shared amenities and features, such as a swimming pool, play zones, jogging tracks, clubhouses, gymnasiums, etc.

Instead of owning their own homes, most families now prefer to invest in housing cooperatives. The concept of residing in a housing society appeals to people who even have separate residences. These days, almost all housing projects being built are gated communities of attractive apartments with common amenities.

Over the last decade, most of the families in Nepal prefer to invest in housing colonies for their future homes. Moreover, many of them are showing their highest gratitude towards living in a housing society in comparison to independent homes. People opting for an independent house are also attracted to go for gated housing colonies developed by some renowned real estate and housing developers. Over last 10 years in Nepal, private housing developers have stepped into this market and are providing consumers with a variety of housing types and locations.

The prices vary depending on the location, the facilities and developer brand. Valuation of property is clearly based on the availability of necessities and facilities connected with comfortable housing. The quality and cost of materials during construction, size, current rates of labor, frontage and other physical attributes such as roof covering, height of the building, type of foundation, waterproofing and plinth level, also affect the price of a particular property.

1. Secured Living

6. Connecting With People and Being a Part of a Community
7. Higher Value of Property and Secure Investment Option

9. Gateway to a contemporary lifestyle
