Living in Downtown Dubai
Downtown Dubai is the block of the city around Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain. Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard loops through it, and Dubai Opera sits at one end.
Buyers choose between compact one-bedrooms in the Boulevard buildings and large residences in the towers that face the fountain or Burj Khalifa itself. Everything is an apartment, and most buildings are complete and lived in.
For tenants, Downtown is the place to be if you work in DIFC or Business Bay and want to walk to the mall, the Metro and the restaurants on the Boulevard. Parking and service charges are higher than in outlying areas, so check both before you sign.
For owners, the address itself does much of the selling. A fountain view or a direct line of sight to the tower is what separates a quick sale from a slow one, so lead with the view in your listing.
