Elahieh

Elahiyeh, an opulent neighborhood in Tehran, stands as a symbol of affluence in Iran. Not only does it host the nation's most valuable properties, but it's also a thriving hub for residential and commercial activities. This coveted area is the residence of choice for numerous politicians, diplomats, expatriates, artists, and the original founders who have shaped Elahiyeh into the prestigious enclave it is today. At its heart, Elahiyeh boasts Tehran's priciest real estate, where property values soar to an astonishing $2000 per square foot, drawing parallels with the opulence of Beverly Hills, California. Furthermore, Elahiyeh is privileged to accommodate the embassy clubhouses of several nations, including Russia, Turkey, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Iceland, Cuba, and Finland. Regarded as the crowning jewel of Tehran's real estate landscape, Elahiyeh is home to some of the capital's most lavish streets. Notably, Fereshteh Street, the most renowned thoroughfare in the district, was once renowned for its tranquility and lush greenery. However, it underwent a significant transformation after the Islamic revolution, particularly during the construction boom of the 1990s, when Gholamhossein Karbaschi and Ghalibaaf held the mayoral reins in Tehran. In this period, vast gardens and grand estates gave way to upscale high-rises, leading to a substantial increase in the neighborhood's population. While this evolution has elevated Elahiyeh to unprecedented levels of luxury, it has also presented challenges in the form of congested narrow alleys, particularly during summer nights when traffic grinds to a standstill. Despite these minor setbacks, Elahiyeh remains an epitome of elegance, securing its place as the most expensive locale in Tehran and the entire country.
