Popular areas to buy townhouses in Dubai
Dubai offers diverse housing options for potential investors in the UAE real estate market. Besides apartments and villas, the exclusive townhouse communities in the city are also popular with buyers and investors. Townhouses offer greater privacy and comparatively bigger living spaces for an affordable price. Let’s explore the five most popular areas to buy townhouses in Dubai, based on the consumer trends observed on Bayut.
WHY BUY TOWNHOUSES IN DUBAI?
You might ask why investing in townhouses in Dubai is better than buying a villa. Well, owning a townhouse is a different experience altogether!
While villas are usually detached homes, townhouses typically share a common wall with another unit, creating a sense of community. It’s possible to find both attached and semi-detached townhouses for sale in Dubai.
Another advantage of buying a townhouse in Dubai is seamless access to shared facilities such as swimming pools, playgrounds and sports courts.
Townhouses have the advantage of being relatively cheaper than villas and often come with lower maintenance costs. These aspects can easily be a deciding factor for prospective buyers and investors.
