I live in Vista Tower. There are more pros than cons. But due to a construction that's going on right next door, the noise levels are bad. And the area is Barsha Heights, so traffic is a bit of a concern. But overall, the amenities, maintenance, responsiveness to problems are top notch.
While they don't have guest parking, or the area is a bit noisier than I'd like; it's still been a fantastic building to live in. The standard 1BHK is much larger than anywhere else you'd find. The only big con is that the balcony could be a very big risk factor if you have tiny children. Thats because the railings are horizontal and it's easy for kids to just climb up which could be beyond scary.
proximity, convenience, amenities. one of the best locations.
Drove through at rush hour - very central for reaching Marina, Media City or SZR quickly. Entry/exit points onto Sheikh Zayed Road get congested at peak hours though.
Stayed a few nights in Barsha Heights and it's a solid choice if you want to be in the middle of everything. It's right on Sheikh Zayed Road, walking distance to the metro (Dubai Internet City station), and easy to get anywhere in Dubai from there. Loved that there were tons of restaurants and cafes right downstairs, and it felt lively even at night.
Barsha Heights has become Dubai's new center for both residential and business community with direct metro station i.e Dubai Internet City.

Barsha Heights is well planned community for both residents and commercial.
