It doesn’t get better than Gulshan for premium flat sales in Dhaka

Claiming to be the country’s most affluent suburb, Gulshan is situated in the region of the Gulshan-Baridhara Lake area. Gulshan is primarily made of high-end residential properties accounting for 60% of the homes in the area, mostly populated by Dhaka’s elite and upper-class.

Gulshan is also considered the best area for expats to live in Dhaka due to its high security standards, international embassies, prominent schools, hospitals, restaurants and world-class hotels. Residents of Gulshan enjoy the finer things in life with convenient access to high-end shopping, dining and entertainment.

Location and Transport

Gulshan is conveniently located at the heart of Dhaka, hosting top-quality schools, hospitals, shopping centres, restaurants and cafes that swarm the prominent suburb. Gulshan is so large that it has to be split into two parts, Gulshan 1 and Gulshan 2.

Gulshan 1 has one of the busiest central business districts in Dhaka and is well known for corporates to establish their head offices, which makes commuting to work that much easier. Gulshan 2 is also a busy business hub divided into two sides by a large roundabout connecting it to Banani and Baridhara. Given that Gulshan hosts many of the international embassies in Bangladesh, the location is highly secure and desirable place to live for affluent families and expats from overseas.

Although, Gulshan’s main roads are frequently busy and congested, the roads connect to the rest of Dhaka. There is plenty of public transport including local buses via the Dhaka Chaka service, CNGs and taxis can be caught on the main roads and rickshaws in the backroads. With the emergence of popular ride sharing apps like Pathao and Uber, travelling from Gulshan is now much more easier and affordable.

Why Consider Flat Sales in Gulshan?

Gulshan is truly Dhaka’s Crown Jewel, where the country’s most affluent and high-profile people come to reside. Gulshan offers everything from top-end restaurants and cafes to renowned hospitals and schools. The only downside is the price to enter the expensive property market in Gulshan. However, Gulshan and its neighbouring suburb Banani are considered “blue-chip” suburbs and with Dhaka’s growing population and rising median income, it’s hard to go wrong with investing in Dhaka’s most prominent suburb.

Calm and relaxing lakeside views and ambience only Gulshan has to offer.
