Housing and Accommodation by Rinjani
With a rapid development in Dubai, housing becomes quite popular issue these days. Whether you are looking for room, flat, apartment or villa, it?s not just about the high price, but also availability.
Middle to lower budget will find it?s quite difficult to find a decent place to stay with the tight budget. The alternative way is to sharing accommodation.
The accommodation hunting also depends on the location.
Again, a rough illustration. Room only in Jumeirah costs around AED 2,000 to 6,000. per month plus water and electricity. Usually, a villa in Jumeirah has two to four bed rooms, available for rent. While one bed room apartment in Jumeirah starts with AED 75,000 per year. Villa with three bed room starts from AED 100,000 per year.
Satwa, Karama and Bur Dubai are favourite locations for new comer in Dubai. But the issue is to get accommodation in these areas are also not easy. Sharing accommodation in apartment per room starts from AED 1,250 above. Two bed room apartments starts from AED 30,000 per year.
Accommodation in Deira is little bit cheaper than aforementioned areas. (Room starts from AED 800 above) But many buildings are quite old and also the availability is pretty rare.
Another option is bed space. But for this kind of option, you must have first class of tolerance and patience to other people, since there will be at least 5 people in one room.
Some new apartment and housing area such as The Greens, The Meadows, Emirates Hills, Marina are quite fancy, since there is an option to own property in Dubai. But to rent apartment or villa in these areas are quite expensive.
