2 Bedroom Apartment in Ashjar, Al Barari

Some places just let you breathe a little easier the moment you walk in and this two bedroom apartment in Ashjar at Al Barari does exactly that. I still remember the first time I stepped inside here. Everything just sort of fell quiet except for a bit of birdsong trickling in from the gardens outside. You can hear the water flowing in the landscaped streams if you listen. It feels a bit more like living in a quiet resort than a rental flat in Dubai but there is nothing stuffy or formal about it. Actually it's the kind of home where I think you could forget to check your phone for a while and just watch the sun climb through those huge floor to ceiling windows. You get this incredible view over the park and so much lush green everywhere. This part of Ashjar is surrounded by gardens in every direction and honestly not many apartments in Dubai make you feel this close to nature.

Space is something you notice straight away. There is over two thousand six hundred square feet of living space which really is more than some four bedroom townhouses you see around Dubai Hills. So if you ever feel boxed in elsewhere you almost forget about that here. The living room is open and bright and has those glass sliding doors that lead out toward the balcony. Sometimes you might find yourself just standing out there with a cup of coffee watching the early morning light catch the leaves. It's easy to imagine breakfasts out here or maybe reading on a quiet afternoon.

Both of the bedrooms are genuinely big and you get walk-in closets in each one. I opened every cupboard and they really will take more than just a few seasons worth of clothes. The main bedroom has wood floors that feel warm under bare feet even in winter and the en-suite bathroom is pretty calming with its clean finishes. You will notice the details have been thought through right down to the bespoke fittings. It feels finished but still has potential for a few personal touches.

The kitchen is not just a place to stand around and look at appliances. It actually feels like a spot where you can cook something real if you feel up to it. All the appliances are by Miele which means less worrying about things working as they should. I poked my head in every cabinet and it all looks set up for easy living rather than high maintenance. When you entertain friends there is more than enough room to spread out whether you keep it inside or wander out onto the balcony on a nice evening.

What struck me is how the community outside is actually connected to the apartment. It is not just some view from a window. If you open up the doors you can hear the water in the streams below and sometimes kids' voices as they ride bikes in the evening. There are walking paths weaving through all the trees and every morning a few neighbors are out on the trails before work. The gym is not far and you get parks and cafes nearby so picking up a coffee after a stroll is just something you end up doing without planning it. Even the security and maintenance here feel like part of the calm because everyone knows the area. Al Barari really is known for community feel so it stretches beyond your front door.

Honestly you do not get many rental apartments in Dubai with this much space and light plus not every place lets you enjoy this amount of greenery. Ashjar is a bit tucked away but that's kind of the charm. You get privacy along with a bit of a retreat vibe but you are just a quick drive from the major parts of the city when you need them. You will also notice life just moves a little slower here and sometimes that is a good thing.

Anyway words only go so far. The best way to know if Ashjar and this apartment are right for you is just to come see it for yourself. If you have questions or if you want to walk through and get a feeling for the space even just out of curiosity just get in touch.
