Dubai freehold area guide
Location
City Walk sits within Al Wasl, in the heart of Jumeirah, at the junction of Al Wasl Road and Al Safa Street - minutes from Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Jumeirah Beach, with direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road and a short distance to Burj Khalifa/Business Bay Metro Station.
Overview
An open-air, low-rise urban lifestyle district developed by Meraas, combining boutique mid-rise residential buildings with premium retail boulevards, fine dining, art installations and entertainment (including Coca-Cola Arena and Green Planet). The feel is walkable, curated and cosmopolitan - closer to a European high-street/urban village than a typical Dubai tower community.
Who lives here
Affluent young professionals, high-income expat couples and downsizers who want walkability and lifestyle over space; increasing interest from overseas investors (Europe, Russia, GCC). Predominantly renters at the high end of the market, with a growing owner-occupier and investor base as more residential phases complete.
