F-8, Islamabad, Residential sector in Islamabad, Pakistan
F-8 is a residential sector in Islamabad, Pakistan, organized into five sub-sectors named F-8/1, F-8/2, F-8/3, F-8/4, and F-8 Markaz. Each sub-sector contains housing blocks alongside small commercial areas with shops and services for residents.
This sector emerged during the 1960s as Islamabad was being developed into Pakistan's new capital under modern urban planning principles. The area was designed as part of a broader scheme to create an organized and functional city layout.
The F-8 Markaz, known locally as Ayub Market, brings together residents for shopping, eating, and meeting throughout the day. You will find shops, restaurants, and tea stalls where people gather and social life happens naturally.
The Markaz area serves as the main commercial hub where most shops, restaurants, and daily services are concentrated. The residential blocks are within easy walking distance from the commercial zone, with wide streets and clear signage throughout.
The sector sits between Fatima Jinnah Park and Faisal Avenue, with Margalla Avenue to the north and Jinnah Avenue to the south. This central position makes it a natural junction point in the city with convenient access to green spaces.
