Living in Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina runs along a canal cut in from the sea and lined on both banks with residential towers. Marina Walk follows the water the whole way round, and Jumeirah Beach Residence sits between the towers and the sand.

If you are buying, almost everything on offer is an apartment. Studios and one-bedrooms fill the older towers near the Metro; larger homes and penthouses sit in the taller buildings with sea views. Ready homes dominate, so you can view what you buy.

If you are renting, the Marina is one of the easiest places in Dubai to live without a car. The tram loops through the district, the Red Line runs along its edge and most errands are on foot.

If you own here, your buyer pool is wide: end users who want the beach close, and investors who want a home that lets quickly. A clear view of the water or the sea is what sets one apartment apart from the next.
