2. The Housing Options
One of the benefits of this stunning locale is that there are unique addresses that you can call home.

For those who want to purchase an apartment in this neighbourhood, you want to look at either Al Badia Hillside or Marsa Plaza.
These properties in Dubai Festival City are centrally located within the neighbourhood, ensuring that all residents can have the most versatile life imaginable.
Al Badia Hillside
Al Badia Hillside is specially designed to take you back in time and connect you with the traditional cultures of Arabia and the Mediterranean. The architecture in these properties is inspired by the hillside villages of the Mediterranean coast, while the hues and textures are a reference to Arabian culture and design. What’s more, there are also cobbled streets to reflect bygone eras thoroughly.
That being said, the homes themselves are filled with modern-day comforts, and each is intended to be entirely individual. In fact, no two apartments in Al Badia Hillside are the same; each one has been carefully designed to be unique and suit distinctive lifestyles.
Currently, there are one- and three-bedroom apartments available to buy, with the former starting from AED 1.8M and the latter from AED 3.58M. Purchasing one of these apartments means only paying 25% now and then the rest over the next five years. In addition, they are currently offering 100% off DLD Fee, 0% Commission, and a 15% relocation discount, making it the perfect time to buy your dream Al Badia Hillside apartment.
Marsa Plaza
On the other end of the design spectrum is Marsa Plaza, a modern residential tower with stylish urban amenities. At this address, you can find one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments as well as three- and four-bedroom duplexes. The building boasts direct views of Dubai Creek and the cityscape, and its awe-inspiring architectural design is revered around the Emirate.
Additionally, residents in Marsa Plaza can take advantage of the range of amenities that the building offers, including a state-of-the-art gym, outdoor swimming pools and a fitness studio. Plus, there is a local supermarket, hairdressers, dry cleaners, and a restaurant and bar right at your doorstep for even more convenience.
The available apartments in Marsa Plaza start at AED 1.73M. So, if this is where your dream apartment is located, you can pay 25% now and the rest of the cost over the next five years. Currently, they are offering 50% off the DLD fee, 0% commission and simple mortgage facilities. So, if you have been dreaming about owning an apartment in Dubai’s premium destination, this is the time to do it.
