The neighborhood is sub divided into neighborhoods like [[GTB Nagar, Allahabad|GTB Nagar]], Gaus Nagar, Shams Nagar and Rehmat Nagar Colony. Kareli is the second largest colony of India in terms of Area and is one of the most expensive residential localities of Prayagraj. It is also known as Officer's colony by the localas as the large number of people who served as government servants like IAS, IPS, PCS, etc inhabited the place.

==Details==
The neighborhood was predominantly occupied by the members of the mercantile middle class of Meerapur and [[Attarsuiya]], and white collar workers from several [[public sector undertaking]]s and private companies established in the new industrial region of [[Naini, Prayagraj|Naini]].

It was later overwhelmed by a richer population after the oil boom and privatization. However it is not maintained well. The roads have so many mudholes.

The majority of the people are members of the salaried class rather than business owners.
