It consists of a mix of low-rise homes ranging from 5 Marla to 1 Kanal, with both newly constructed houses and older plots. The area benefits from direct access to Shahdara Bypass and proximity to schools, markets, banks, and public transport, ensuring convenient daily commuting. Currently, it enjoys basic municipal services and is undergoing infrastructure upgrades like road improvements and utility extensions.
