Located in Downtown Dubai, Old Town is the only place with low-rise apartments in the area. The project is being built by Emaar Properties, one of the region’s reputed developers. ‘Old’ is a reference to the style of architecture used to construct this region. In 2006, the construction of this community was completed.
The properties in Old Dubai differ significantly from those in the nearby Downtown Burj area. 35 low-rise buildings, which are more typical of Dubai’s older neighborhoods, feature classical Arabian architecture. These Old Town Dubai area guides provide detailed descriptions of the amenities, properties, and facilities.
The residences in Old Town Dubai have a vintage appearance. It’s in Downtown Dubai, the emirate’s most happening district, aptly named ‘the center of now.’
From Old Town, the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Souk Al Bahar, and the Dubai Fountain can all be reached on foot. Residents can also take advantage of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, which is lined with restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and other facilities, making it convenient for them to fully enjoy the amenities.
Old Town Dubai properties are highly sought after due to their unique architectural features. In 35 buildings, more than 1,500 residential apartments are located across six areas. Reehan has eight buildings, Yansoon nine, Zafran five, and Miska five buildings each. In addition, there are four residential communities in each district of Kamoon and Zanzebeel. Old Town Island is a slightly younger project that is separate from and closer to the Souk Al Bahar region. The Palace Hotel is also part of the project.
Old Town Dubai has a wide range of flats for rent, from small studios to large 1, 2, and 3-bedroom houses. Flats with views of the Dubai Fountain are available in Old Dubai, as are those facing Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard. As a result, buying and renting freehold apartments have different prices. If you’re looking for a home in the region, it’s a good idea to look at a few different apartments before making a decision.
The Old Town Island is the most well-known neighborhood in Dubai Old City. Downtown Al Bahar Apartments, The Palace Downtown Dubai, Tajer, and Attareen are the four low-rise complexes that make up the sub-community. There are 405 apartments available, including 1, 2, and 3-bedroom options. Because this sub-district is closer to Souk Al Bahar and The Dubai Mall, pricing may appear to be slightly higher in comparison. The Old Town Island has rental flats ranging from AED 78k to AED 150k. Apartments on The Old Town Island range in price from AED 1.29 million to AED 7.29 million.
Yansoon is the second most populous neighborhood in Dubai’s Old Town. The most popular property type in Yansoon is 2-bed rental apartments, which cost between AED 80k and AED 150k per year. The districts of Reehan, Miska, and Zanzebeel round out our list.
Each apartment in Dubai’s Old Town comes with its own parking space. Guests can park in a visitor’s parking lot in each district, or there are underground parking spaces on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.
Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall is the closest public transportation stop, located eight minutes away by car. Dubai Metro is accessible by the F13 feeder bus. A bus stop for The Palace Downtown can be found on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard. There are many Dubai landmarks within walking distance of Old Dubai, and many are pedestrian-friendly.
Owning a home is a keystone of wealth… both financial affluence and emotional security.
