Renting a Home in Dubai

For a family of four, you will likely need a two- or three-bedroom apartment or villa. Here are some of the popular areas and what you can expect:

• Apartments in popular family neighborhoods: Areas like Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), Dubai Marina, and Business Bay are popular with expats. These neighborhoods offer many amenities like parks, schools, and supermarkets. In these areas, the rent for a two- or three-bedroom apartment can be high.
• Villas in residential communities: Many families with children prefer to live in villas. Neighborhoods such as The Springs, Arabian Ranches, or Mirdif are often preferred. These communities are generally quieter and offer more space, with communal pools and parks, but they are typically more expensive than apartments.
