1 bedroom apartment in Mallside Residence, Dubai Hills Estate

Some homes just have a certain kind of vibe the first time you walk in. I remember stepping into this one bedroom apartment in Mallside Residence at Dubai Hills Estate and thinking it actually felt much bigger than the numbers say. The sunlight coming through those big windows really changes everything you feel in the space. I just sat down for a bit in the living room and watched a bit of the city outside. Everything feels completely new here and I guess it is because the project is still being finished but you can already picture how it is going to settle in and feel like home.

This apartment is sitting right in the heart of Dubai Hills Estate and honestly I can't think of many places more central if you want to get around the best bits of Dubai. The Dubai Hills Mall is basically a quick walk away so your grocery shopping or a coffee run can happen pretty much any time without even moving the car. Some mornings you hear the sounds of kids playing and in the evenings, even though you are in the city, there is this peaceful feel. You hardly believe the main road is close by because it feels fairly quiet up here on the mid floor. And I know floor numbers aren't always the most exciting thing but when you are actually standing here you see what it means. You are high up enough for views and bright daylight but not so far that you are rushing for an elevator every time you pop out.

When you come in the front door, the first thing that strikes most people is the open concept layout. There is no awkward corners. Just a kitchen that actually feels like you'd cook a meal in it, not just heat up leftovers. Sometimes I see buyers stand at the counter and imagine where the coffee machine goes or maybe a bowl of fruit. The dining area is just off the kitchen and you can still chat with friends on the sofa. Honestly, it just feels easy. You could have people over for a night in, or even just relax by yourself with the balcony doors open and a book or some music. Speaking of that balcony, it is private enough so you do not feel stared at and has a chill spot for morning coffee or maybe even a tiny plant. Maybe you see a few birds flying by now and then.

There are two bathrooms here which I always think makes a big difference for a one bedroom place. It is the kind of thing you do not appreciate until you are living somewhere. The finishes are all modern but not over the top. Smooth, clean lines, plenty of storage, things you will use every single day rather than just look at. And because it is off plan, everything will be fresh when you get the keys. You can pick a few details while they finish it up so it really feels like your own.

People always ask about what is near Mallside Residence and honestly the list is pretty long. Apart from Dubai Hills Mall, there is green space everywhere. You see people walking, jogging, taking their dogs out. If you have kids, there are schools and nurseries nearby or parks where you see families on weekends. Medical centres aren't far either which is one less thing to worry about. Local coffee spots are all around and it sometimes feels like you could live your day without really leaving the neighbourhood unless you want to. That is rare in Dubai and worth thinking about.

Since this is still under development, there are some pretty good payment options and you still have the investment upside for Dubai Hills Estate which is always one of the city's top picks when people talk about value holding steady. Whether you are buying as a home to stay in or thinking long term, this place just seems to tick the main boxes.

But words only go so far. If you want to know if it really fits or just want a quiet tour and some honest opinions, reach out any time. The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it.
