Accommodation options
Al Barsha was once popular with groups of young professionals, who wished to share the cost of a property, but they have moved on and the area is becoming the preserve of families.
Al Barsha has large villa communities and mid-rise apartment towers that are popular with the locals as well as expats. There is non foreign ownership in this area which gives the community a more local feel. Apartments are of good quality as they are newly built. They are executive type flats and not necessarily luxurious. Nearly all the buildings tend to have the usual extras such as gyms and swimming pools.
Lifestyle options
Al Barsha residents live just a quick hop to the mighty Mall of the Emirates and many smaller, independent outfits such as spas, restaurants, salons and take-aways have sprung up around the area. Residents now have a green haven to escape to with the opening of the long awaited Al Barsha Pond Park.
