Dubai is such a vast and diverse city, yet it has certain neighborhoods where most people would love to live.
Colife Dubai, an all-in-one solution for modern tenants, property owners, and private investors headquartered in Dubai, highlights the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Most often, tenants request rental housing in Marina, JLT and Business Bay. Why? These areas offer a variety of lifestyles to suit anyone’s needs.
The Energy of the City
“Dubai Marina is one of the most iconic areas in Dubai, drawing in both tourists and first-time residents who want to experience the city’s vibrant energy,” says Chief Business Development Officer at Colife Dubai Nina Novikova.
Dubai Marina offers stunning waterfront views and easy access to beach life. It’s packed with cafes, restaurants, and entertainment spots. The famous Marina Walk is a fantastic place for outdoor strolls, and the JBR beach is just a short walk away. Residents in Marina often come together for fitness activities, sports, or relaxed evenings out, creating a lively and social community vibe.
How much does it cost to live in this area? For example, you can rent a comfortable, stylish studio in Marina View Tower through Colife for 10,900 dirhams per month. Renting a two-bedroom apartment in Princess Tower will cost 19,000 dirhams per month. But you can save money if you rent for 1 year, in this case the monthly price is 17,000 dirhams.
Balancing Work and Life
Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) and Business Bay are top picks for office-goers.
Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) is a globally recognized “free zone,” making it ideal for professionals who want to live close to work. It’s also a great choice for those who want to stay central but in a quieter setting.
“I’ve been living in this area for almost 2 years. JLT has large parks and artificial lakes, perfect for outdoor walks, cycling, and even for families with kids and pets. The range of cafes and restaurants covers a wide variety of tastes, and its convenient transport links make it easy to reach Marina and other popular areas in Dubai”, says Angelica.
With its mix of urban life and green spaces, JLT is an attractive option for those who want the best of both worlds.
Business Bay attracts professionals who value living close to the office. Located near Downtown, Business Bay offers a broad range of residential complexes suited for both office employees and freelancers or entrepreneurs.
“I rent a studio here because it’s convenient, profitable, and I really like the area itself. Yes, there are cheaper options, but considering that I can walk to the office in 5 minutes, I do not overpay for rent. Moreover, I save a lot of time getting to work”, says Alex.
The area is filled with cafes, restaurants, and places to socialize, creating a balanced setting for work and relaxation. The community here mainly consists of professionals who often participate in both business and leisure events.
