Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Accommodation in Dubai

Hi All,

My wife and I are moving from Australia to Dubai at the end of May for between 1 and 3 years. Will be working in the Dubai World Trade Centre. Don't know the property market well in Dubai, but heard I can rent a 2 bed Villa in the Arabian Ranches for under AED 60,000 per year.

I don't really want to spend more than this - any suggestions?

- rent a room/share in a villa?
- rent a 1 or 2 bed apartment?
- prefer something within 45 mins drive to work, shopping etc.

Budget is around AED 60,000 per year
Willing to travel up to around 45 mins peak hour to work
Clean, tidy and vibrant couple - non smokers, light drinkers, professionals.

Appreciate any help people could offer - email or forum replies ok.

Thanks!

Don't know where you heard this. it will cost you 5 or 6000 a month just to rent a room in an apartment/villa

www.dubizzle.com

Scarlet - a search on the web for villas in the Arabian Ranches showed a couple of 2 bed villas were about AED 60,000. Of course, you can read anything on the net. What do you think I could expect to pay for a 1 or 2 bed villa?

YasrKasem - are you renting a one bedroom apartment or just one bedroom in a villa/apartment for that?

Matthias - your option sounds good if we are going to share. Does the master bedroom have an ensuite? How are the bills/expenses worked out? What furniture would we need to bring if we were to accept? And also, how long would the lease be for (we could be in Dubai for up to 3 years)?

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Carlo.

don't know where you are searching the,

try the link I put in my previous post. Also go to bhomes.com and you will see at Arabian ranches it starts at 140,000 for a 2 bed villa

Arabian ranches you will be paying at least more than double for a 2 bed villa. Just done a quick check on the Better Homes website and the cheapest you'll get a 2 bed villa for is 140,000 Dhs

The cheapest place for villas is still Mirdiff, but then you'd be lucky to get anything under 100,000 a year.

1 bed apartments you can't get for less than 70,000- 80,000.

As has been said, the cheapest place for apartments is International City, their 1 beds start at around 53,000 - 55,000 and go from there.

I have to say 80,000 Dhs for a room in a shared villa! Where is the privacy?
