1 Bedroom Apartment in Al Samar, The Greens

Some apartments have this sort of quiet welcome about them the first time you step inside. That is honestly how it felt when I visited this one bedroom apartment in Al Samar over at The Greens. Maybe it was the way the light just spills through the windows in the afternoon or maybe it is that peaceful feeling you get from being on the lower floor so you can still watch folks going about their day outside. Either way it is not a vibe you find everywhere and I think a lot of people are really looking for something like this nowadays.

The size here took me by surprise right away because most one bedrooms do not feel anything close to this open. You get almost a thousand square feet and you genuinely notice it as soon as you walk into the living space. It is not crowded at all and there is plenty of room whether you want to keep things simple or bring a bit more personality in with your own style. The living room actually feels like a spot you might want to crash with a book for an hour or just sit with your coffee and not touch your phone until the sun shifts. It does not feel rushed or cold in this place.

Kitchen is open to the living area so you are never cut off from what is going on and I love that you can cook while keeping an eye on whatever you have got going on TV. All the usual appliances too but also the kind people actually use like a proper oven and a real sized fridge. I could see myself actually making more than just toast in here. The counters are pretty wide so there is space for prepping meals or just chatting while someone is making dinner. It feels easy and not boxed in.

Now for the bedroom it is where you really feel tucked away. En suite bathroom means no waiting in the hallway for your turn and you get a lovely bit of privacy which somehow just feels right in this setting. It is quiet and calm and I think a good sleep would be a regular thing here. Closet space is decent too so you will not be tripping over your luggage or clothes.

Some practical things are just as good. The covered parking is right on site which is a huge relief come summer and you do not have to worry about street parking at all. Safety and convenience both ticked. And for people with pets you will find this place to be very welcoming which is honestly harder to find lately. Nothing like walking your dog along the shaded paths and sometimes you see neighbors doing the same thing at the end of the day. There are even designated spots for dog walks close by so four legged friends can stretch their legs.

The community itself is part of why The Greens is always in demand. There are always kids biking in the evenings or people heading down to the pool for a swim. The gym is actually somewhere you would want to go and not something that looks good in a brochure. Sometimes you can hear the sound of tennis coming from the courts nearby or a bit of laughter from the playgrounds. If you are into cycling there is dedicated bike storage and pretty good pathways through the neighborhood. And because it is Al Samar you benefit from just being steps away from places to eat and even a few little coffee shops that know how to make a morning flat white just right.

A big bonus is just how connected this spot really is. You are less than two minutes from Sheikh Zayed Road so you are never far if you need to get across Dubai. Mall of the Emirates is only ten minutes away which is perfect for a quick shop or a weekend movie. Even the airport is just a short trip and if you tend to travel for work you will appreciate that more than you might expect.

The truth is you cannot always tell if a place will feel right from photos or even words. Sometimes you have to stand inside and see if you can picture your life fitting in. If you want to pop by or just talk it over I am around pretty much any time. At LuxuryProperty.com we really try to make things as comfortable as possible for your next move.
