Moving to Islamabad from Dubai. 28M

Islamabad :snoo_simple_smile:

Hi everyone. 28M, spent the last few years in Dubai and lived most of my life in Karachi, now moving to Islamabad.

My budget is 150-200k PKR per month for rent. (and I am just 1 guy)

Looking for a furnished 1- to 2-bedroom apartment, or a fully separate portion.

No shared spaces because noise is a dealbreaker for me, as I work from home and record content, so I mostly just need a quiet place with good internet. (Ideally clean and well-maintained). Also, tbh I don't like crowded places or places with tons of people.

Last year I stayed for a few days at an Airbnb in F-6 and loved the area. Peaceful, green, everything close by. But I don’t think landlords in Islamabad will rent to bachelors for the long term, especially in the sectors.

I’m also looking for low-maintenance apartments or portions where I don't have to worry about repairs every other day.

I've searched Bahria Enclave, Gulberg Greens, E11, etc but not sure. There are high-end options like Sukh Chayn in f10, but they're way too expensive for me.

Would appreciate any advice. Thanks
