Bilawal House, was built after the marriage of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and was named after the birth of their first son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. It is located on Khayaba-e-Saadi, Karachi. After Ms. Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan in 2007 from exile, she stayed in Bilawal House.

70 Clifton is the house which was built by Mr. Zulifiqar Ali Bhutto and used as official and personal residence of Bhutto Family. Bhutto's daughter, the late Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, later resided in the house during her house arrest and also in the late 1980s and mid 1990s. Murtaza Bhutto inherited it. Late Murtaza Bhutto's family is living in 70 Clifton.

The house is situated at 70 Clifton Road, in the affluent area of Clifton, in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Murtaza Bhutto, the elder son of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, also lived in Bilawal House and was assassinated in 1996 near the main gate. Currently, the house is owned by Murtaza's widow Ghinwa, where she lives with her children Fatima Bhutto and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, jr. Special barriers and security outside the house were removed by the Rangers, when they began removing barriers, on request of Zardari, to prevent any controversy, for the inhabitants were normal civilians.
