Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Accommodation in Dubai

I know there are probably hundreds of people who have already asked exact same question on this forum - and for that I apologise. I did use the SEARCH function and found some answers - but they seem to be a little outdated. SO if anyone would be kind enough to answer the same questions over and over I will be really grateful!

We are thinking of moving to Dubai in March on a salary of US$100k/year. My only concern is accommodation. We managed to negotiate only Dhs 100k/year for accommodation, and I would really like to know what our options are. Is it possible to find a decent 2 BR apartment in a good part of town for this money or we'll have to pay a lot extra? I will work not far from Jumeira somewhere. Is Sharjah really a bad idea traffic wise?

Thanks a lot in advance.
