Rabdan Building
Best building in the locality with excellent location. Family friendly
Shakespeare Circus 2
Beautiful community, very quiet and very family oriented
Rabdan Building
Strategic Location and Pet friendly. Premium Fittings.
Rabdan Building
A comfortable place to live with much larger apartment layouts than you'll find in newer areas. Motor City is incredibly walkable with great local shops and cafes. The main drawbacks are the heavy traffic on Hessa Street during rush hour and occasional noise from the Autodrome, but it's a solid choice overall.
Dickens Circus 2
The building is very nice. I have not had any issues for the last five years I've lived here. I love Motors City, it is very green, it feels like you are not in Dubai and everything is within walking distance, the school for children, supermarkets, hospitals, a lot of restaurants, bars
Oia Residence
Lovely condo in an upcoming area with lots of good restaurants, grocery shops and much more!
