Almost every district in the capital, Baghdad, contains a certain area that contains tens or hundreds of houses known as the "Golden Square."
While the real estate file in Iraq is a mystery that is not disassembled in and of itself if viewed from the outside, it is not without paradoxes and mysteries even when entering this world, where the prices per square meter rise to more than a thousand dollars of the price per square meter just by crossing one street that does not exceed Its width is 20 meters, to move from a house whose price per square meter is estimated at $ 950, to another house whose price per square meter is estimated at $ 2000, although it is only a distance of 20 or 40 meters from it.

Many certifications relate to these facts that are translated by a simple look at the maps of the regions of the capital, Baghdad, where the Al-Bayaa area, which has an estimated price of about $ 1,200 per meter, separates from the Qadisiyah area, where the price per square meter sometimes exceeds $ 3,000, only tens of meters.
Perhaps the change in prices, high and low when moving a distance of tens of meters only, is understandable by leaving one region and entering another region, but the real estate world, especially in the capital, Baghdad, is witnessing another paradox, represented by a large change in prices within the same region, under a circulating concept known as “the square”. Golden ".
And perhaps an area in the capital, Baghdad, is almost without its containment of a certain area that contains tens or hundreds of houses known as the "golden square", in which this square dominates the throne of this region, and enjoys prices that are unique to the rest of the squares or houses in the same area, to reach the prices The houses in this square do not correspond to the general area in which it is located, meaning that the prices of houses in this square may match the prices of houses in other areas, better than the area in which this square is located.
Al-Shabab neighborhood, Al-Dora, Abu Dashir, Al-Jihad neighborhood, Al-Salam neighborhood, Al-Ghadeer district, all areas in the capital Baghdad contain a "golden square", in which house prices rise to high levels compared to the rest of the houses and streets in these areas, where the price of a house is 150 meters In the Golden Square in the Al-Jihad district, 320 million dinars (about 280 thousand dollars), at a time when the price of a house in this area in the Al-Jihad neighborhood outside the golden square does not exceed 170 million dinars, while some citizens in the region consider that this amount qualifies them to buy a property in other areas better From the Jihad neighborhood, with specifications that exceed the specifications of the Golden Square in this region.
What is the advantage of the golden square .. and who determines it?
This rise in prices, and the predominance of a limited number of homes over the rest of the streets and houses in the same area, raises questions about the reason for this distinction and its conditions, and who determines the golden square from others.
Hassan Rafid, 38, a property owner in Baghdad, told Ultra Iraq, "The area of houses or plots of land, in addition to the location, determines the name of the golden square on a specific area within any residential area," and gives an example of plots of land that have not yet been witnessed. Building, and no services are located near Alwa Al-Rasheed, to show that "the Golden Square in this newly screened district was named by this name because of its location, as there is no area in front of it, and to its left is the Tigris College, and on its right is Commercial 40th Street."
On the authority that defined this square as "golden" exclusively, Hassan points out that "the brokers are the ones who determine the golden square in any area that is still under construction, due to their knowledge of its features and its location and areas so that the name remains prevalent," indicating that " The price difference between this square and the rest of the squares in the province amounts to 15 million dinars for a regular piece of 200 meters, while the price increases if the location of the pieces is distinct, such as if its location is a corner or at the front of the street. "

Citizens exclude the existence of a real "golden square" in the capital, Baghdad, because all regions lack the conditions that make the square golden
However, the employee in one of the municipalities of the capital, Baghdad, Amir Salman (41 years old) presented another narrative about the party that defines the Golden Square that outweighs the powers of the brokers and shops for the sale and purchase of real estate. The square that is at the front of the residential districts and their entrance, and the contours of this square are distinguished by the width of its streets and the contour of the facades of the pieces, such as in which there are many areas of afforestation, cuttings and gins.
Citizens have different standards
Baghdadi citizens in the various regions of the capital do not hide their dissatisfaction with the "golden square game", as many of them see that this designation defined by real estate dealers raises house prices to levels that are not commensurate with the nature and quality of the area in which this square is located.

Many of those looking to buy a property or a home leave sarcastic comments on any advertisement on social media sites related to selling a house in the "Golden Square" in various regions, as well as interacting with the publications that carry ads for selling homes in the golden squares with "surprised or sarcastic face" by the action of prices Mentioned for the property offered for sale.
Citizen Firas Muhammad, who is familiar with the real estate reality due to his constant dealings with the real estate market, says that he "excludes the existence of a real golden square in the capital, Baghdad, because all areas lack the conditions that make the square golden."
In an interview with Ultra Iraq, Muhammad explains that "one of the conditions of the golden square is that the area of the houses in it is not less than 200 meters, which is not achieved, as there is no area in Baghdad that did not divide its houses into small houses with an area of 50 meters."
He adds that "other conditions of the golden square, in addition to the areas of the houses, is that the width of the sidewalk in front of the house is not less than 3 meters, and that the width of the street is not less than 15 meters," in addition to "the cultural and social level of the population, and the absence of a culture of clan segregation and bird breeders. On the roofs of houses, far from any popular market, and there are no shops within the homes, "which are conditions that rarely meet in an area of the capital Baghdad at the present time, according to Muhammad.
The origin of the name may relate to the "safe haven" of American forces!
There is not enough information available to real estate dealers and connoisseurs about the origin of this name, and the beginning of its launch in the capital, Baghdad, until it became a common and commonly used term in an agreed upon manner, but a narration from one of Baghdad's regions dating back to the years of the American forces ’presence after 2003 may suggest the origin of the name.

The name "Golden Square" is due to the launch of the American occupation forces on an area in Baghdad that was a safe haven for them
In the Al-Mashtal area, east of the capital, Baghdad, there is a golden square similar to the rest of the capital, Baghdad, while one of the area’s residents, named Ali Asaad, told Ultra Iraq that “this square has good specifications in terms of location, method of building houses and cultural level. And the good social status of its residents won the Golden Square designation by the American forces during periods of clashes with the militants east of Baghdad, as this square was a (safe haven) for the American forces, and they did not face any exposure or attacks in it, "which may have caused the withdrawal of this name on All the squares in different parts of the capital, Baghdad, which share good specifications with the Golden Square in the nursery area
