When it comes to a ‘Manhatten’ like lifestyle by the water the Dubai Marina is probably it. Covering a large area it is primarily about high-rise living in glistening towers, each trying to trump the other with the luxury label, coming in affordable to more dear levels as far as price is concerned. Those after views of water and boats are definitely in the right place. The artificial canal snakes through the length of the area at a respectable length of 3.6 kilometres. This has created a lot of waterfront living in well over 150 towers. Some are still under construction, but now really far and few in between. Apartment buildings vary widely in quality. It is a question of finding the right one in terms of value for money and what vistas one would require, marina view, open sea view all the way to The Palm Jumeirah or something more simple. To mention but a few we have selected as place worth living or investing in: Al Sahab, Al Seef, Azure, Damac Heights, DEC Tower, Eden Blue, Elite Residences, Emirates Crown, La Riviera, La Reve, MAG 218, Marina Crown, Marina Diamond, Marina Promenade, Marina Quays, Marina Residences, Marina Sail, Marina Terrace, Marina Wharf, Marinascape, Park Island, The Address Maria, The Jewels, The Torch, The Waves, Trident Grand Residences and Yacht Bay.
We would like to give special mention to Emaar’s original six, remaining an all time favourite community, Al Mass, Al Murjan, Fairooz, Mesk, Al Yass and Anbar, the six towers, as well as Park Island & Al Majara to mention some.
The Dubai Marina invites to wander the streets full of live, shopping in the neighbourhood where you will find virtually everything you need or take a stroll along the canal or walk down to the beach.
For a more complete shopping experience the Dubai Marina Mall houses a large Waitrose supermarket among the usual mall outlets and restaurants, as well as a large cinema.
