1 bedroom apartment in The Address Dubai Marina, Dubai Marina

Some places just feel easy the minute you walk in. This one bedroom apartment in The Address Dubai Marina did that for me. There is this calm when you step in, like the noise of the city fades and you start noticing all the little things. I leaned against the living room window for a while and just watched the marina water. Honestly, it is a view that can make you late for dinner if you're not careful.

The apartment itself is actually bigger than it looks in photos, about 880 square feet, and you do feel that extra bit of space. The living and dining area shares this big open spot in the centre and it feels bright even on a regular afternoon. Sometimes Dubai feels too busy but here you get that soft, filtered sunlight coming across the water and pouring into the room. You might find yourself making coffee just so you can sit by the window and slow down for a minute.

Everything here comes furnished and nothing flashy, just done well. The furniture feels solid, not stuff that will start rocking in a couple of months. Kitchen is really nice actually. Real appliances too, so if you cook you are covered, and if not, well takeout is always waiting and you have a table you actually want to sit at. Even small stuff, like the kitchen countertops, gets it right. You can tell whoever designed this spent time thinking about daily life, not just showing off for photos.

One bedroom apartments in Dubai Marina sometimes feel squeezed but not this one. The bedroom is honestly roomy enough you could have a quiet workspace by the window and still have space to walk around. Wardrobes do the job, not overflowing with storage but enough for daily living. I kind of like that it's simple. The ensuite bathroom has this hotel kind of vibe where you might actually want to take your time in the morning, with a walk in shower and good mirrors, and you can stash all your things without cluttering up the place.

When you leave the apartment and head through the lobby, everything feels cared for and actually clean, not just sprayed with air freshener. The Address buildings have a bit of a reputation for service for a reason. The gym here is not just for show either. You see people really working out. There are swimming pools so if you feel like a swim you do not have to drive anywhere. Evenings sometimes you can just walk outside and catch whatever is going on by the water. Plenty of restaurants along Dubai Marina Walk and the coffee shops do not mind if you sit for a while with a book or friends. Most folks living here seem to like the idea that you can walk home instead of worrying about taxis.

Location is right in the heart of Dubai Marina so honestly you hardly even need your car. Everything kind of spins around you, from the retail at the Address itself to all the bigger stuff. Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa are not far if you crave a bigger adventure. You get the feeling here that even if you never left the neighbourhood, you would not run out of things to do or places to see. Across the street there are little supermarkets for last minute snacks or a quick breakfast. In the evenings you hear music from the boulevard sometimes. People here say it's a spot where you just fall into the Dubai lifestyle without even trying.

What gets me about this apartment is that it feels real. Not just a hotel room you will pass through but an actual home where you can settle and take a breath. Being vacant is nice too since you do not need to wait for anyone to move out before you make it yours.

The only way to see if it fits you is to come and take a look. I am always happy to answer any questions or walk through the apartment with you. At LuxuryProperty.com, we want your next move to feel as comfortable and personal as possible.
