Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Accommodation in Dubai

Is this place a nice area to live? In particular the Italy part... I have seen a lot of apartments available here at not so bad prices. Is it nice and where is it close to?

thankies

Close to nothing, well Dragon Mart but one of the few places in Dubai you can get a 1 bedroom for under 35k, the fit and finish isn't great but I know 2 people that live in the 'China' section and they like it. If you aren't into the whole roomie situation and like your own pad this is a viable option.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

hmmm...I don't want to be in the middle of nowhere
Ahhh the search continues, thank fayz

Can someone show where it is in a map?

Thanks fayz.

Fayz, the cheapest that I have been able to find in Intl city is around 40-48K per year.

Please let me know if there is anyone i could contact for something cheaper.

Btw Noni, apartments sell for 300K for a studio and around 500K for a one bed...2 beds are only available in certain buildings and are between 700 and 800K

i found this post extremely useful. Thanks.
Any idea how long travel it will take to Internet City everyday, each way?
Thanks for your help.

(ps from the map it seems international city is near the airport?)

Depends where you going, getting into Bur Dubai or Deira is always a problem because of the traffic jams... not because of the distance.

On this map with km's to the Global Village you will have an idea how far International City is.

International City is already getting out of the middle of nowhere, I know quite a few expacts living in Mirdif.

Hey Keith, sorry i didn't see this post until just now, one thing I'd recommend that is just good advice to all looking, when you find an area you like, check with building security, they are more in the know then realters and won't over charge you with bloated mark ups.
