1 Bedroom Apartment in Al Barsha 1, Al Barsha

Some places feel like a breather from all the speed of the city and I got that sense straight away here in this one bedroom apartment at Al Barsha 1. It is right in the thick of things so it just makes life easy you know With Mall of the Emirates so close and the metro station right there you really do not have to plan hard when you want to get somewhere whether it is work meetings or an early brunch. And still when you are inside it feels tucked away somehow. I guess that is partly down to the building and partly the way this apartment sits a little higher and somehow just feels nicely private.

Walking in you see the semi open kitchen straight away off to your right and I actually thought it was just the right size if cooking is something you enjoy. It has those simple white cabinets that look clean even when you get a little messy on busy nights. The kitchen sits close enough to the living area that if friends are over you do not have to turn your back to chat or pass around food and it works for casual dinners or just coffee catch ups. Opposite the kitchen is the guest washroom and honestly it is done up well with pale tiles and enough space to feel more comfortable than cramped. I noticed sometimes these guest washrooms get overlooked but here it feels considered.

Then you step into the living and dining space and it really opens up more than you expect. I paused and found the sunlight just kind of fills it up which makes you want to sit down for a bit and watch the community outside get on with its usual day kids heading to school people grabbing groceries that sort of thing. There is enough room to have a proper dining table and a proper sofa setup so you do not have to choose between the two. It never feels cramped I think the builder actually thought about where people will lounge or where you can work if you ever need to bring the laptop home. Sometimes you may even forget your phone on the kitchen counter because you are just sitting near the windows looking out.

The bedroom might be my favorite part because it flows nicely from the living area and the wardrobes are actually built in not just a free standing thing. It actually gives you space to stretch out and the en suite bathroom is probably bigger than I expected for a place this size. The fixtures are modern but not the cold kind. It feels pretty easy to imagine crashing here after a long day or just opening the curtains first thing in the morning to see what the world is doing outside. Plus you can get to the balcony straight from the bedroom or the living room and I really like that you are not locked in by just one door.

That balcony is an actual bonus. It runs long enough that you can keep a bit of garden or some chairs or just stand around after dinner and look out at the Al Barsha community view. The sun goes down over this side in a way that catches everything in a gold light. I saw a neighbor relax out there in the evening and it felt peaceful.

Living in Al Barsha you are pretty much never far from what you need whether it is a bite at one of the little local diners shopping at Mall of the Emirates or just picking up something quick from the supermarket. You will notice families around and a real community feel even though you are minutes from the metro so the rest of Dubai opens up easily for work or fun.

Honestly this apartment does not try too hard it just fits real life and that feels refreshing these days. The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it in person.
