Why Rent an Apartment in Al Reem Island?

Waterfront Living in Abu Dhabi

Canal walks, beach access, and Reem Central Park give residents an active outdoor lifestyle that is rare in an urban setting of this scale and convenience.

Modern High-Rise Properties

Contemporary towers with floor-to-ceiling windows, resort-style pools, and fully equipped gyms mean the standard of living here competes with the best residential addresses in the UAE.

Freehold Investment Zone

Al Reem Island is one of Abu Dhabi's designated freehold areas, meaning foreign nationals can purchase and own properties in Al Reem Island outright, making it equally attractive to renters and investor landlords.

Family-Friendly Community

Top international schools, dedicated children's parks, and pet-friendly spaces make the island one of the most practical and liveable family addresses in the capital.

Well Connected to the Capital

Two bridge connections put the Corniche, Al Maryah Island's business and retail hub, and Abu Dhabi city centre within minutes, without the congestion of living downtown.

Multicultural Urban Lifestyle

A diverse international community, an expanding dining scene, canal-side cafes, and a growing retail offering create a vibrant urban atmosphere that evolves with its residents.

Top Locations to Rent Apartments in Al Reem Island

Shams Abu Dhabi

Shams Abu Dhabi serves as the island's central hub and accounts for the highest number of active rental listings on the market. The district is defined by landmark towers including The Gate Towers, Sky Tower, Sun and Sky Towers, Beach Towers, The Bridges, and Meera, each offering a range of studios through to three-bedroom apartments. Studios in Shams Abu Dhabi start from approximately AED 70,000 per year, one-bedroom apartments from around AED 90,000, and two-bedroom units from AED 110,000. Sizes typically range from 420 sq ft for studios to 1,300 sq ft for two-bedroom apartments. The district is home to Reem Central Park and benefits from direct beach access, canal-side walkways, and Shams Boutik Mall on the doorstep. It suits young professionals, couples, and families who want the island's most complete lifestyle offering in a single neighbourhood.

City of Lights

City of Lights is the second most active sub-community on the island by listing volume and offers strong value relative to Shams Abu Dhabi. Key buildings include Hydra Avenue Towers and Radiant Square, where studios start from approximately AED 60,000 per year and one-bedroom apartments from AED 85,000. Units in this district tend to be generously sized, with many two-bedroom apartments exceeding 1,000 sq ft. City of Lights suits young professionals and small families who want modern finishes and competitive rents within the Al Reem Island community. The district is well connected to the main island road network and offers easy access to supermarkets, pharmacies, and ground-floor retail within the development.

Marina Square

Marina Square occupies the area closest to the mainland bridge, making it the most practical sub-community for residents who commute to downtown Abu Dhabi daily. Key buildings include Ocean Terrace, Marina Blue Tower, Al Durrah Tower, Burooj Views, and One Marina Square. One-bedroom apartments typically range from AED 80,000 to AED 125,000 per year, with sizes between 700 and 2,000 sq ft depending on the building and unit configuration. Many properties here incorporate smart home features, and residents benefit from access to a private beach and marina facilities. The sub-community is ideal for professionals and couples who prioritise connectivity and a marina-side setting.

Najmat Abu Dhabi

Najmat Abu Dhabi offers a quieter residential environment compared to the busier Shams and City of Lights districts, with an emphasis on quality finishes and resident comfort. Marina Bay by DAMAC is the most prominent building in the sub-community, offering one-bedroom apartments from approximately AED 80,000 per year with sea views and high-end building amenities. The district suits renters who want a refined, lower-density living environment with the full amenity benefits of Al Reem Island, including access to waterfront promenades, retail, and community facilities.

Canal Residence

Canal Residence is a smaller, well-regarded sub-community that appeals to renters seeking a quieter pace while staying within the Al Reem Island community. The development fronts the canal and offers direct waterfront views from most units. It suits couples and professionals who value the scenic setting and a more intimate residential atmosphere, away from the higher-density towers of Shams and City of Lights. Amenities include pools, gyms, and landscaped grounds, and the sub-community connects easily to the rest of the island and the mainland bridges.
