Khair Khāna (Persian:خير خانه) is a neighborhood in north westKabul,Afghanistan, part of District 11. It is predominantly a residentialsuburb about 6 km from central Kabul, with a boom ofhigh rise constructions and modernapartments, as the area has seen major redevelopments.[citation needed] To its southwest is the Shamāli Square and the Kabul-Charikar highway.

This neighborhood has been considered as one most populated areas of Kabul city.
Construction of Khair Khāna began during the late 1960s and early 1970s, as a plan to expand the city of Kabul. It mostly consists of regular blocks and paved road grids. Many of its residents are ethnicTajiks from the provinces north of Kabul.[1] Some are Pashtuns who moved into the neighborhood, history of some Pashtuns from Takhar moving in.
Khair Khana mostly survived the ordeal of theAfghan Civil War (1992–96) which destroyed most of Kabul, with the neighborhood remaining largely intact. Many people from other parts of Kabul came here to take shelter.[2] One of the reasons why Khair Khana was spared is because of its north-western location – it was far from theHezb-i Islami Gulbuddin forces who were attacking the city from the south-east, and in later years theTaliban who were based to the south.
