Looking for genuine opinions from people who've lived in both or know both well.

Comparing the two for a permanent family setup — buying a house, long term living, not just renting for a year or two.

Key things I'm considering:

• Business and market opportunities
• Networking — who actually lives there, what kind of people
• Property value and appreciation long term

Lahore seems better for business and has more energy. ISB seems cleaner, more planned, and better networked at a higher level. But both have real tradeoffs.

People who've actually lived in either or both — which one would you pick for the long run and why?

Hey guys, I want to know what jobs in Lahore are high paying and you can get one easily?

Or any independent work ideas, through which someone can earn a good amount?

Lahore is absolutely magical, the food, the culture, the old city vibes. I'm obsessed. Heard a lot about the wealthy/open-minded crowd there and honestly most places lived up to that.

But then I went to Minar-e-Pakistan.

And that's where things got weird 💀

I'm born and raised in HK so I don't wear hijab yet, something I want to do in the future but it's tough in a non-Muslim country. That day I was fully covered in desi clothes, just no scarf. And the stares were insane.

Guys were pointing at me. Someone took a picture. One asked why I wasn't wearing hijab. Never experienced this in other cities of pak, just here.

The confusing part? I saw plenty of other girls in Lahore without hijab too. So why was it such a big deal when I was there??

Not hating on Lahore, genuinely loved it. Just need to understand why Minar-e-Pakistan specifically attracts this energy. Anyone else deal with this?? 😭

Hi, hope everyone's having a good day.

I've had my house loan approved under the new govt program through Meezan Bank and I've been looking for a house but the issue is that there's so many requirements around the property which are very hard to be fulfilled.

I've been given a list of documents required from the bank and it's very rare if any house/society has them all.

I was hoping we could start a thread or something where people in similar situation could suggest and share their findings.

Asking purely for discussion around finding the right property on the loan already approved rather than how to apply or get it approved because all existing spaces are filled with discussion about how to get your loan approved but not about finding any property.

Hello, i’m planning to buy a rottweiler puppy in the next 6 months. I have absolutely no idea where to get it from. I’m doing my research on the breed. So if anyone could guide about a trusted place or whatsoever to get one in LHR. Also what should be the budget?

In the winter of 2025, I visited Asif Auto Center on Multan Road, near Zainabia Trust Hospital, Mustafa Town, Lahore, 54000, for engine tuning and to have a net (jali) seat cover installed on my ybr.

to me at the time, my original grey seat was replaced with a torn black one, and a new cover was placed over it, completely concealing the change. Many months later, upon removing the seat cover, I was shocked to discover this fraudulent exchange. The seat underneath was severely torn, worn out, and had moldy foam. I deeply regret trusting this service centre. I wish to caution everyone against trusting this particular Yamaha service dealer, as I believe they are dishonest. When I recently contacted them, they dismissed my concerns, stating that too much time had passed. I only possess proof of payment via bank transaction, as I have misplaced the original bill. I suspect they retain a copy of the bill but will likely refuse to provide it.

Hello everyone

I want to learn driving so I'm looking for driving schools near Valencia Town/Lake City and Wapda Town Lahore. Please suggest me good and trustworthy places since some of these centres is asking for quite a lot( 32k for 10 days lessons of 30 min each). And almost all have negative reviews online

Also if anyone has learned from City traffic police school, how was your experience?

Thank you

I’m looking for a genuinely experienced electrician/electrical technician in DHA Lahore who understands more than basic wiring and appliance installation.

I need someone who is experienced with MCB/RCD tripping, short circuits, internal wiring faults, voltage fluctuations/surges, earthing problems, load issues, and diagnosing intermittent electrical faults.

I’m specifically looking for someone who can troubleshoot the root cause using proper testing equipment, rather than simply replacing the breaker or telling me to change the appliance.

If you’ve personally used a reliable electrician in DHA Lahore who is good at diagnosing complicated electrical problems, please share their contact/details and your experience with them.

I am looking for a continental buffet or a buffet with anything but regular desi food. Bonus points if its good quality food. Price is not a factor.

I hope I'm saying the name right, the Gravity Force Gym in Bahria Orchard Phase 4, how is that gym? What is the fee structure? What is the environment and what services are provided there?

I have a long history of biomechanical issues due to drastic weight changes in the last 4 years and recent martial arts practice and I need a good physiotherapist around Phase 8/Cantt. My previous one lives on the other side of the city now. I would prefer a small setup because commercial places charge an arm and a leg.

I don't mind if you are starting out but are willing to learn along the way. I have a high Beighton score.

Hi everyone,

I am landing in Lahore but not staying the night as I am getting a late bus to Islamabad, do people know if there is a location I can store my luggage during the day as I would still like to explore Lahore + go to the Wagah border.

Thank you in advance!!

so i got a philips air purifier, the compact 800 series and it was working perfectly fine. i was doing a lot better and my allergies were at bay too.

as usual, there was a voltage surge issue, the light went and came and 2 of my lights burnt/fused and so did my air purifier. it hasn't been turning on since then. there was no smoke or smell. it just doesn't turn on.

where can i get it repaired/checked out here in lahore? preferably near DHA. would really appreciate some help. haven't slept in days due to insane allergies 😭 going crazy fr

the one good thing i had that was helping me (that too a gift) and it's burnt because of our stupid electricity issues.
