THE PLACE TO MOVE TO<br />
Al Barsha<br />
Affordable and convenient sums up<br />
Al Barsha in a nutshell. From high-rise<br />
apartment living with all you need<br />
on the doorstep in Al Barsha 1 to Al<br />
Barsha South’s mixed bag community<br />
of spacious villas and townhouses<br />
delivering more bang for your buck<br />
than other pricier Dubai communities,<br />
the area has something for everyone.<br />
WHY MOVE THERE?<br />
A huge area bordered by Sheikh Zayed<br />
Road and Sheikh Mohammad Bin<br />
Zayed Road, access to the city’s major<br />
highways is a plus, as is the handy trio<br />
of local malls, anchored by Mall of the<br />
Emirates. Value for money rental rates<br />
seal the deal, with location-price cost<br />
benefits winning out against other indemand<br />
residential communities.<br />
THE COMMUNITY<br />
Al Barsha 1 is defined by its profusion<br />
of apartment buildings popular with<br />
singles, couples and small families<br />
while Al Barsha 2 & 3 is largely<br />
independent villas. Emerging Al Barsha<br />
South is a mix of low-rise compound<br />
living, townhouses and the odd highrise.<br />
The need for community green<br />
spaces is satisfied by two parks with<br />
Dubai Miracle Garden also nearby.<br />
TRANSPORT<br />
Nestled between the E11 and E311 with<br />
Al Khail Road splitting it straight down<br />
the middle, Al Barsha’s road links are<br />
second to none. The metro stations<br />
at Mall of the Emirates and Sharaf DG<br />
are also within walking distance for Al<br />
Barsha 1 residents.<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
Al Barsha is well served by<br />
educational facilities. A sampling<br />
includes Kings’ School Al Barsha<br />
and Foremarke located in Al Barsha<br />
South, GEMS World Academy on<br />
Al Khail Road and American School<br />
Dubai in Al Barsha 1. Nurseries include<br />
Little GEMS International, Dewdrops<br />
Nursery and The Children’s Garden.<br />
SHOPPING Mall of the Emirates,<br />
Al Barsha Mall and My City<br />
Centre Al Barsha deliver on<br />
everyday essentials and lifestyle<br />
whims across the different subcommunities<br />
while soon-to-open<br />
Galleria Al Barsha will house the<br />
American Hospital Dubai community<br />
clinic and 40+ retail stores.<br />
Meet the neighbours<br />
Claire Malcolm has lived in her rented Al Barsha 1 one-bedroom apartment for 10 years<br />
I’ve thought about moving for a change of scenery but I have a good rental deal and great sized<br />
apartment. I love that Al Barsha Pond Park, with its jogging track and exercise spaces, is on the<br />
doorstep and I’m on cheery “hello” terms with other morning parkgoers and the cat-bird-duck<br />
community. Having Mall of the Emirates within walking distance is also super handy.<br />
