Living the High Life: Dubai Marina Apartments
Discover the luxury and convenience of Dubai Marina apartments, where waterfront living meets high-end amenities for an exceptional lifestyle.
Ask random men and women on the streets of Dubai to list the best neighborhoods in which to live and work, and you'll hear Dubai Marina mentioned multiple times. Unsurprisingly, this beautiful waterfront area is in high demand. It is also one of the most affluent, with some penthouse apartments for sale in Dubai Marina listing for AED 21 million (nearly $6 million).
What Makes Dubai Marina Special?
Dubai Marina is a well-planned community flanking a man-made canal, the area's primary water feature. The canal provides Dubai Marina residents with gorgeous waterfront views. The wide canal, which empties out to the Arabian Gulf, also makes a natural berth for yachts (and many yacht clubs) and is, thus, the perfect base for wealthy yacht owners who have made Dubai their home. It also makes Dubai Marina a hub for yacht dinner cruises, tours, parties, and everything related to yacht recreation and entertainment.
The canal is bordered by a broad waterfront promenade on either side, and almost all residential towers in Dubai Marina are within easy walking distance of it. Thus, Dubai Marina is a highly walkable neighborhood. People strolling, jogging, and cycling on the boardwalk are common scenes. The Marina Promenade is also dotted with restaurants, cafes, retail outlets, groceries, and various other types of merchants and service providers.
Dubai Marina Mall is a small shopping center at the heart of Dubai Marina, accessible from Al Marsa St on the south and from the Marina Walk on the north, on the canal side. You'll find everything you need here, from high-end shopping to various dining options. You can get groceries, watch movies, catch performances, and attend events – all in one place.
If you want the beach for swimming, sunbathing and watersports, you can walk to Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and enjoy the public beach there. You may also check in to one of the beachfront JBR hotels for access to their exclusive stretches of white-sand beach.
Finally, if you work outside Dubai Marina, the neighborhood is highly accessible from other districts through private and public transportation. Taxis serve the area. You can take the Dubai Tram to neighboring areas and the Dubai Metro to reach districts much farther out. You may also ride the bus and the ferry.
Dubai Marina is a beautiful waterfront community with many activities, amenities, and facilities. Shop the best brands, dine out every night, appreciate the gorgeous water views, and enjoy the music and company at yacht and beach club parties. Take daily strolls on a lovely promenade, be at the beach within minutes, and get anywhere you need to be in Dubai by driving or taking public transport.
Indeed, Dubai is an excellent base for those who prize a high quality of living and a lifestyle with everything they could want and need to shop or go out for within easy reach, from hummus to a long-sleeved blazer and from a movie to a yacht dinner. The best part, however, is that anyone – even foreign expatriates – can own a property in Dubai Marina. Dubai Marina is a freehold community, so 100% ownership is allowed even to non-Emiratis who want to buy an apartment in Dubai Marina.
