Living in Mohammed Bin Rashid City

Mohammed Bin Rashid City, or MBR City, is a master plan by Meydan that stretches from Business Bay and Downtown Dubai towards the Ras Al Khor sanctuary and Al Khail Road. Inside it sit several communities with their own names: District One around the Crystal Lagoon, Sobha Hartland on the creek side, Sobha Hartland II next to it, Meydan Horizon and District 11.

Buyers have the widest range of home types of any area near the centre. District One is villas and mansions on the lagoon with some apartment phases. Sobha Hartland and Hartland II mix villas, townhouses and towers; Hartland II is sold off-plan around its own lagoon, with towers such as Skyvue Stellar. Ellington's Everly Place sits in Meydan Horizon.

For tenants, MBR City is a car area. There is no Metro station; Business Bay on the Red Line is the nearest, and most residents drive via Al Khail Road or Al Meydan Road. In return you get lagoons, parks and two international schools inside Sobha Hartland.

If you are selling, your buyer is a family who wants a villa or a large apartment close to Downtown without the density. Off-plan supply in Hartland II and District One West competes with resale, so a ready home with a lagoon or skyline view is what stands out.
