Gulshan Colony is a modest residential neighbourhood in Lahore, primarily consisting of low-to-mid-range single-storey and double-storey houses on 5-marla to 10-marla plots. It is strategically positioned near major roads like Multan Road and the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway, offering easy access to key amenities such as Shaukat Khanam Hospital, schools, and local markets. The infrastructure is basic but functional, with paved streets and a modest drainage system, though it is not formally registered with the Punjab Registrar of Cooperative Societies.
