1 Bedroom Apartment in Pixel, Al Reem Island

Some homes sort of pull you in before you even get to the front door. Standing downstairs at Pixel on Al Reem Island, that's exactly how it felt. Maybe it's the way the towers play with the light or how the building actually stands out from everything else around. There's just something creative about this place and you catch it straight away. Even the air feels a bit more relaxed and younger here, if that makes sense. This one bedroom apartment is up in Tower 6 and there are only four places on this whole floor so it's calm and you have a real sense of privacy that you cannot always find in every tower block in Abu Dhabi. You get a nice mix of quiet and community at the same time.

When you walk in, the first thing is all the glass. The whole living area is almost a wall of windows that just opens everything up. I stood by the window for a moment and just watched the water beyond the city rooftops. Really, it is one of those flats where the light just wanders through every corner, not in a harsh way but the kind that makes you want to sit on the sofa for a bit longer in the morning. There's proper space to have a real dining table and the kitchen is right there too, open but not crowded. It even has a central island which is handy for eating quick breakfasts or putting out snacks for friends. To be honest, it feels like a home where you would actually cook instead of just heating something up. People sometimes overlook that.

The bedroom is en suite and you kind of feel spoiled with the floor to ceiling windows there as well. Living with a sea view like that, you'll notice mornings just feel different. Even putting away your clothes is a little bit satisfying because that built in wardrobe is not just for show. Storage always matters and it feels sorted here. Sometimes it's the small things that make the day to day feel comfortable.

Pixel by Imkan is kind of a landmark if you like places with a sense of style. The pixelated design on the outside is one of those things you pick out if you are riding past and it stands out so much more up close. The towers are all connected by this big pedestrian plaza below. You will see people just hanging out or grabbing a coffee or even working outside. There's something about the way the plaza is set up that feels easy. Kids are running about sometimes. You see a lot of strollers and folks chatting. You have proper gyms and swimming pools if you like to keep active. The sports spots and outdoor areas actually get used here. And there is never a boring weekend with things like pop up events and sometimes music drifting across from the plaza. Even in the evenings, a walk through the plaza just feels right. There's always a place to sit or just watch the world for a few minutes.

If you are the kind of person who likes life happening outside your door, the mix of cafes, bakeries and tiny local restaurants around the plaza means you are never short of something good to eat. The grocery shop and little shops make picking up something last minute super simple. You also feel looked after with clinics and childcare places close by.

The location itself is something people always talk about. You are right at the heart of Al Reem Island and within minutes of Saadiyat Island and the city. The Louvre and that whole arts scene is just a drive away. So is the Corniche with its city beaches. Honestly, everything you need is close and for people who work or study in the city, it actually cuts down commuting stress. Sometimes you almost forget your phone just walking along the water early mornings.

People sometimes want a place just for them. Others want an investment or maybe a second home in Abu Dhabi. Either way, this one bedroom apartment in Pixel might fit in more ways than you expect. You get the view, the vibe, the light, and the lifestyle without having to chase after it.

The only way you really know if this sort of place is your fit is to come stand in the space. Open the window. See how it all feels.
