Old Town
What Located along Shaikh Zayed Road, Old Town is a sub-community of Downtown Dubai, home to the prestigious Burj Khalifa. Choose to live in any of Old Town’s six quarters comprising low- and mid-rise buildings offering one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
Design, build, finish and views Exemplifying traditional architecture, the homes in Old Town feature spacious interiors that come in either a standard layout or an upgrade suite option and include a one-year warranty. Elegant parapets, pergolas and niches set the mood of the exterior, taking you back in time.
Amenities and facilities Facilities are top notch as all quarters feature communal pools, play areas, gardens, 24-hour security and parking. There are several hotels in Downtown worth exploring, while Hayya!, the local gym, can be accessed on a membership basis. There is a range of convenience stores nearby, including Spinneys and Al Maya Lal, while the Old Town Nursery provides a safe environment for your little ones.
Leasing firm says “Old Town is a unique freehold development and enjoys high occupancy rates, highlighting an increasing demand for rentals,” says a Hamptons Mena spokesperson.
Property’s verdict The Old Town community is popular among young couples, and offers a pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood in contrast to the high-rise towers in the area. But the most striking advantage of living here is its location. Easy access is the phrase as commuting to and from Shaikh Zayed Road is a breeze. The Dubai Mall Metro station is also just 1.7 km from here. Weekends could never get boring with retail elements such as Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar and their host of entertainment options within walking distance.
