All about the properties for sale in Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina is one of the most famous and most popular places to live in Dubai. One of the largest freehold areas which allow foreign property ownership, with an iconic skyline with very distinct towers and apartment buildings with sensational ocean and city views along with easy access to the beach, it’s not hard to see why people are always looking at the properties for sale in Dubai Marina. Dubai Marina has been built to replicate a canal city and is considered the world’s largest man-made marina. 

Development of the Dubai Marina began in 1998 and only in 2006 did the property ownership laws allow foreigners who were non GCC nationals to buy properties for sale in Dubai Marina (and elsewhere in Dubai which is designated as freehold). This brought in a great influx of property investors and people looking to live in Dubai for the long term.

When it comes to the properties for sale in Dubai Marina, apartments are the most abundant and readily available across the area. Some apartments are also known as penthouses due to their design and layout but essentially, people tend to look for apartments and then filter through what they find.
