Wasl Gate is a master-planned community by Wasl Properties, set directly along Sheikh Zayed Road between the Energy and Ibn Battuta metro stations in the Jebel Ali corridor. It feels quieter and more contained than most communities on this stretch, with landscaped walkways, low-rise apartment blocks, and a gated townhouse district giving it a different rhythm from the high-density towers nearby.
The layout splits into distinct pockets. Gardenia Townhomes and Gardenia Townhomes II carry the villa and townhouse side to the south. The Nook sits closest to Energy Metro Station with compact apartments. Hillside Residences and South Garden cover the mid-rise apartment range from one to four bedrooms and a run of newer launches, including Sola Residences, Boulevard Park, and Hammock Park.
It works for professionals commuting toward Media City or Jebel Ali and for families who want a calmer setting with schooling close by.
Prices of properties for sale in Wasl Gate range from AED 498K to AED 8.36M, with a median of AED 1.41M. A total of 563 listings are available. 258 properties have been listed for sale in Wasl Gate over the past 30 days. Across all listings, 57% are verified and 71% are listed by SuperAgents.

The Nook 1
I love everything about the Nook. I wish I owned this place! I love the kids area and pool, it gives me so much to do with my little one just inside our building. It's cosy and chic at the same time. I love the aesthetics too, i try to keep the same color scheme in my house too and its just so soothing to the eyes❤️ Definitely a Recommended Place!

The Nook 1
I would say that Nook has an ideal location. The area is not crowded, and it's right adjacent to Sheikh Zayed Road. The metro is a 7-minute walk away, and the most important thing about this building is its proximity to IKEA and Festival Plaza. You can easily order cabs, food, and groceries, or you can get them from GEANT as it's now in the building. I would suggest that people who have offices in Media City or JLT, this place is a good fit for you. The pool facility is really good, with pool areas for both adults and kids. However, the gym could be better as there are limited machines. Rent is also economical compared to other communities linked to Sheikh Zayed Road. The only drawback of Nook is that these apartments are compact, so you don't get much space for the living room.
