1 bedroom apartment in LIV Residence

Some places in Dubai Marina just have something easy about them and this one bedroom apartment at LIV Residence really hits that note. The first time I stepped inside, it felt as if you could drop your bag and just settle in without thinking twice. That is a rare feeling around here, honestly. You do not get that cold hotel vibe or an empty shell waiting for furniture deliveries all week. Here everything is ready, everything feels new but lived in just enough. The kind of place where you could arrive with only your suitcase and maybe your favorite mug and not feel like you are missing anything.

Right away, the light in this apartment stands out. It really comes alive during the day because of the big balcony—you get proper daylight instead of one of those thin ledges so common in Dubai apartments. I leaned on the railing for a while and looked out over JBR. Morning is especially good, the sun starts warming up the whole place and you catch these gentle Marina breezes if you keep the door open. Sometimes you forget you are in a city altogether since all you hear is a distant murmur but nothing ever loud up here. You might catch a whiff of sea air now and then but truthfully you are not directly on the water. Still, you will see the light change through the day and it does make a difference whether you are enjoying coffee first thing or winding down late in the evening.

The whole living space feels open and welcoming. The kitchen is actually part of the living area, which makes sense because no one wants little boxes or sharp corners everywhere. If you enjoy proper cooking—not just microwave meals but real food—this kitchen would actually work for you. The counters are thicker, appliances feel almost too nice for a one bedroom apartment, and the flow here is just right for having friends over or even just spreading out when you are catching up on a late weeknight dinner. You will notice when you run your hand along the worktops, it is not flashy but it is definitely high quality, the sort of finish you only notice once you live with it. No bumping into tables when you carry a coffee out to the balcony. If you spend time at home you will probably find yourself actually using the space, not just treating it like somewhere to sleep.

Moving to the bedroom, it is surprising how roomy it feels for Dubai Marina standards. There is space for more than just the bed—you could easily fit a small desk or even a chair for reading by the window if that is your thing. At the moment everybody seems to work from home now and then, so having the option matters. The lighting in this bedroom stays soft and calm, not that harsh glare that makes you want to leave the room. I imagine most nights people just read a few pages and ease into sleep. The wardrobe can handle more than you might expect too.

Bathrooms here are straightforward, which I honestly appreciate. Good water pressure for post gym showers or after a long day in the sun. The fixtures are clean and modern but nothing fussy or overdesigned. Everything in this apartment feels well maintained and sorted, meaning you do not have to chase someone every week for repairs. It really adds up in a place you want to call home.

LIV Residence places you at the heart of Dubai Marina. The building has the kind of gym that real people use early in the morning, not just an empty showpiece. The spa is there for quiet downtime and the pool is almost never crowded. Sometimes you hear laughter or weekend get togethers off the pool deck but there is always space to just be. Plus, if you need milk or a quick bite, the retail outlets downstairs cover most things so there is no need to take a drive every time. The beach is close enough to walk over when the city starts glowing for the night.

Parking is another bonus—getting in and out is just easy, which honestly makes a huge difference in Dubai Marina. You never know until you live here how tricky it can be but this place takes all that stress away. You will also spot neighbors walking dogs or kids on bikes as the sun sets and there is something nice about a community where people wave at each other but you still get privacy.

The truth is these photos are just the start. You will know for sure if it fits the way you want to live once you see it in person. If you want to chat or take a walk through, just give me a shout.
