They're known for controlled access, green open space, on-site amenities and a strong sense of community, and are made up predominantly of apartments with a smaller number of independent houses.
For many families and salaried buyers, Askari offers security and a central location at better value than the coastal premium areas. Managed entry, parks, mosques and neighbourhood shops make it easy to live in, and steady demand keeps the rental market active.
