Criteria by which we evaluate the districts of Dubai
- Location - we consider the proximity of the district to key city landmarks and the convenience of transportation. Good transportation connections can significantly increase the attractiveness of the area.
- Current property value - we analyze whether the property value in this district corresponds to market standards or if it is inflated.
- Vacancy rate and return on investment - we assess how quickly properties in different districts are rented out, the percentage of time they remain unoccupied, and which areas offer a fast and efficient return on investment.
- Market statistics - preference should be given to districts that are stable in terms of property value and less susceptible to economic crises, such as tourist areas, and can guarantee a return of 5-7% per annum.
- Infrastructure - districts with developed infrastructure, including accessibility to public transportation, roads, medical facilities, schools, and shops, have a special appeal. During periods of crisis, when tourist flow decreases, residential areas equipped with all the necessary amenities for comfortable living become in demand among local residents.

1. Business Bay
Business Bay is a commercial, residential, and business cluster adjacent to Downtown Dubai. It spans an area of approximately 6 sq km on both sides of the Dubai Water Canal, from Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary to Sheikh Zayed Road.
Region Description:
Originally envisioned as a major business hub, the district saw the construction of several large office centers. However, after the economic crisis of 2008-2013, there was a high demand for residential and commercial properties. Due to the influx of tourists in Downtown Dubai and the high demand for short-term rentals, the number of luxury hotels in Business Bay is approaching the top 20. The area is also witnessing the growth of premium residential complexes with their own retail spaces, recreational facilities, and green areas. Currently, the district is predominantly business-oriented, with few parks and major entertainment venues, and the Dubai Water Canal waterfront is not fully developed. This is largely due to ongoing construction, as less than a hundred out of over two hundred planned buildings have been completed.

Clinics and hospitals:
In the UAE, great attention is given to healthcare. Therefore, there are no problems with medical services in any of the areas of Dubai. Residents of the community can avail the services of several clinics:
- Branches of the Aster network.
- Medcare Medical Center.
Transportation:
Thanks to the convenient location relative to the main highways of the emirate, it is easy to reach Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers by bus. Metro stations are currently absent in the community, but their opening is expected in the near future. Bus routes are available in almost every sub-community of Dubai, but private transport remains the most popular option. It allows independence from public transport, especially since there are no difficulties with parking in the region. Parking spaces are available near residential buildings, shopping malls, and on the streets. Car rental is also available. All that is needed is an international driving license.
Areas that we do not recommend:
- Emaar Beachfront
- The increase in the cost of real estate in this area occurred before the demand for housing in it really increased. This may indicate a potential market glut.
- Most apartments in this area are idle and do not generate income.
- The price of real estate here has already reached its peak, and further growth may be limited.
- Blue Waters
- Property prices in the area are inflated.
- The main demand for housing in this area comes from people who plan immediate relocation and permanent residence there. This can reduce the likelihood of high liquidity of the facility and further increase in value.
- La MerIt does not demonstrate a stable increase in the value of real estate.
- DAMAC HillsWe do not recommend investing in the area of Dubai, where the main developer is DAMAC. They have poor quality of construction. And despite attractive marketing campaigns that can convince buyers to buy real estate at inflated prices, in the long term the cost of such real estate tends to decrease.
