Nexthome.pk will provide you with a guide on these apartment types and Terms. We will also give you a way to find the best apartment according to your family’s housing needs.

Apartment Living in Pakistan

In the 1960s, Karachi was the first city in Pakistan to introduce apartments. Some early highrise buildings were built in Karachi for residential purposes. Later on, apartment residency became popular in other mega cities of Pakistan. In recent times, Lahore has become a city with the most popular residential urban area to introduce apartments for sale and rent.

What is the BHK Term For an Apartment

Apartment is a closed living space for residents. BHK is a short form of Bedroom(B), Hall(H), and Kitchen(K). So, apartments with these three distinctive portions are called BHK apartments. Unlike a house, an apartment does not have a veranda and an open courtyard. So, when we say a BHK flat or apartment, it means that the apartment has a bedroom, hall or TV lounge, and a kitchen.

Why were BHK Apartments Introduced

Prior to BHK architecture, apartments used to be built with a room (s) and bathroom. However, seeing the living custom of Pakistani families, engineers and architects reformed the apartment architecture. Now, homebuyers can find an apartment for rent or sale in Lahore with various BHK categories. Apart from these three flat spaces, an apartment may also have a balcony, drawing room, or washing space.

BHK Apartment Categories

Apartments in Pakistan are available in classified categories. BHK apartments differ in size, area, and number of bedrooms. Following are the 4 main BHK apartment categories. Each type consists of differential bedroom numbers.

1 BHK Apartment

A 1-bedroom apartment along with a hall otherwise considered as a TV lounge or family member area and kitchen. Due to having only one bedroom, we name it 1BHK flat.

2 BHK Apartment

This apartment type has 2 bedrooms and a hall adjacent with a kitchen. Sometimes, the second room in this flat type is treated as a drawing room. However, it’s up to the homeowner whether he takes it as a drawing room or bedroom.
