Sometimes you walk into a place and before you even take your shoes off you just feel like you could stay a while. This one bedroom apartment at 5242 Tower 1 in Dubai Marina gave me that feeling right away. It sits low in the building which means you are super close to the sea and honestly the views are pretty special. You look out and get that whole wide bluewater stretch right in front of you. Even on a regular morning it feels a bit like a holiday. I actually stood by the window for a few minutes just watching the boats and the light on the water and you notice how the city noise fades away up here. The space itself feels just right for someone who likes things done well without overdoing it. The furniture is sorted already and nothing looks out of place or too much. You can tell the owner picked pieces that actually belong together. It is one of those homes where you want to put your bag down and just sit on the sofa for a bit. The open living and dining area really works. If you are the kind of person who cooks for real there is a proper kitchen with everything you need already built in. Nothing is crammed into the space. There is even a good amount of room to breathe when you are moving around. That makes a big difference especially if you do not want to feel boxed in after a long work day. The bedroom is not oversized but it just works. Plenty of storage and that same feeling that nothing is wasted. The bathroom feels fresh and has a real shower you will actually use. Even little things like central AC and smart storage spots stand out when you are actually inside. And because it is furnished you do not need to worry about any of those move in surprises. You can almost just bring a suitcase and start living. Out on the balcony you get that rare spot to watch life go by. If you have a coffee in the morning or a late snack out there at night you will see the city in a slower way. When the wind is up you catch that clean sea air and sometimes you forget your phone for a while. Downstairs the building just makes life easy. You have basement parking so you do not have to bake your car in the summer sun. When you feel like moving the shared gym is clean and never too busy and the pool is actually the kind you will use not just look at once in the adverts. I have seen kids laughing in the play area and the sauna and steam rooms are just an elevator ride away if you want to unwind. Another small thing that matters to a lot of people. The access to Marina Walk is direct. So when you want to go for coffee or you forgot milk at the supermarket you can be there in two minutes flat. You do not need a car for every little thing. Plus with a beauty salon and pharmacy right on site even errands feel easy. You can almost just slow down and enjoy the day. Dubai Marina has its own buzz and being in 5242 Tower puts you close but not smack in the middle of the busiest parts. That means peace when you want it and action when you feel like it. Late in the afternoons you sometimes see joggers along the water and couples out walking after dinner. The tower itself has great security so you feel at ease all the time. The community just feels welcoming and not cold or too formal. Chiller is free so you keep cool without thinking about bills on top of rent. Little things like that add up. If you want a place that gives you proper sea views but still feels warm not soulless this one is worth a look. The only way to see if it fits is to come by and have a walk through. Any questions at all or if you just want to get a feel for the building let me know. At LuxuryProperty.com we want finding a home in Dubai Marina to feel as comfortable as living here. &nbsp;
