Uhh...i'm going to have to agree with bombaywalla. Either your friend is full of sh!t, or you are. Creek Vista apts are probably the most expensive in Karachi and cost roughly Rs.5.5 Crore ~ $525,000. You can find 3-4 bed apartments in harlem for this range though.

Anti-Muslim housing discrimination Apartment Rental Ad in #Mumbai, #India: "All communities allowed EXCEPT #Muslims" http://nyti.ms/1M4Rqel
Such intolerance exists at all price points. In a TV interview, Shabana Azmi, one of India’s most celebrated actresses and a former member of Parliament, described how she and her equally famous screenwriter husband couldn’t buy the flat they wanted because they were Muslim.
More alarming to me, though, is how the inter-communal mix of my formative years has been lost. As the writer Naresh Fernandes describes in his book, “City Adrift: A Short Biography of Bombay,” some suburban areas are acquiring the feel of religious ghettos. Mumbra, one of the largest, is over 90 percent Muslim. It suffers daily power failures much worse than those in neighboring Hindu localities. To the west, the clearly demarcated Muslim parts of Jogeshwari are snidely called “mini Pakistan” by Hindus across the “border.”
It is not difficult to find Internet listings specifying whether a property lies in the Hindu or Muslim area of an outer suburb, or even, in the case of a half-million dollar flat in the closer-in suburb Andheri, saying explicitly, “All communities allowed EXCEPT Muslims.”

What is the population of Islamabad? Roughly 6-7 lacs. Its less than a tier-3 town of India. On population ranking, it would come lowly 70s in India. It was built very recently too. Had India decided to build such a small capital city in the hills, we too would have built the same albwit on a much bigger scale.
eah
you know what they say, pata na ho to boley matey, I can find 10 5 bed apt in harlem (because its shittiest black beighborhood in NY) for that price. its not the city its what part of a city is what matters...you can find a mansion for half a million dollars in texas and Florida. you agreed with an nobody

And someone's monthly bathroom maintenance would be more than your household expense for year.

I think you were sleeping on the day when it was demanded by Capital Development Authority of Islamabad to uproot Christians from the city. (on the basis of religion)
you people are totally clueless, you are linking home prices with the value of a city, or cost of living with how developed that city is. Last time I went to Karachi I felt very poor because I am not used to dashing out money like no tomorrow for quality products. I could buy in Toronto anything i bought in Karachi for less that half the price i paid in Karachi. I can feed a family of four for a month with only 100 dollars and that too not daal chawal everyday.
#India is second most ignorant nation of the world after #Mexico: Survey India is second most ignorant nation of the world: Survey | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis via @dna
India has the "dubious honour" of being the second most ignorant nation in the world after Mexico, according to a survey which posed questions on issues like inequality, non-religious population, female employment and internet access.
The survey conducted by Ipsos MORI, a London-based market research firm, polled 25,000 people from 33 countries and found that while people "over-estimate what we worry about", a lot of major issues are underestimated.
Mexico and India receive the dubious honour of being the most inaccurate in their perceptions on these issues, while South Koreans are the most accurate, followed by the Irish," the survey said.
The rankings of the nations were based on the "Index of Ignorance" which was determined by questions about wealth that the top 1 % own, obesity, non-religious population, immigration, living with parents, female employment, rural living and internet access.
Most Indians "underestimate" how much of their country's wealth is concentrated in the hands of the top 1%, the survey said, adding that the top 1% actually own an "incredible" 70 % of all wealth.
The survey also found that most Indians "hugely overestimate" the proportions of non-religious people in the country to be 33% when the true figure is under 1 %.
While Israel significantly underestimates the proportion of female employment (by 29 % points), people in countries like India, Mexico, South Africa and Chile all think of more women in work than really are, it said.
India fell in the list of nations which overestimate representation by women in politics.
Countries like Columbia, Russia, India and Brazil all think there is better female representation than there really is, the survey said.
However, the Indian population seriously underestimates the rural population of the country and thinks more people have internet access than in reality.
In India the average guess among online respondents for internet access is 60 per cent - an overestimation of the true picture of 41 percentage points, the survey added.
