Murree is probably the best known and easily accessible hill station in the country that receives an updated influx of visitors round the year, situated a few kilometers from the federal capital, Islamabad. The name is derived from the word ‘mar-hi’ meaning ‘high place.’ Another popular belief is that it was named after Virgin Mary during the British era. When the British rulers captured Punjab in 1849, the idea of hill station propounded and it was then that Murree was deemed fit for the purpose.

Later, it was made headquarters of the Punjab Government. Now, it has become a hill station and a topmost tourist destination in Pakistan.

The Snow Fall Factor

It is not that lucrative and relishable for the businessmen or realtors there because the roads due to heavy snow become very risky venture for the tourists and hamper the flow. Sometimes it possess serious threats due to its slipperiness. This situation also keeps many people from visiting the housing projects where they intend to invest. Not to mention the fact that blocked traffic avenues severely limit the moment and that deals a blow to the realtors but again that is not too long and the brief interval evaporates giving way to the thriving real estate sector.
To sum it up, Murree is the best of places that catches one’s attention when it comes to buying a home. It has all the facilities and luxuries one can desire particularly the natural scenic factor. So, avail the opportunity in the good times as you never know what the future keeps in store for you in terms of investment in Murree.
