1 Bedroom Apartment in Al Thayyal, The Greens

Some places really do just make you slow down a bit and notice things. That is exactly how I felt the first time I walked into this one bedroom apartment in Al Thayyal. The Greens itself has always had a bit of a calm feeling, even though you are honestly right in the heart of Dubai with all the good stuff close by. But once you step inside this apartment, it feels kind of separate from it all, like you have your own little haven tucked away.

As you push open the door, I always seem to notice how wide and bright the space feels. Directly on your right is a washroom, which is super convenient if you have someone popping over. And on your left, the kitchen is right there and honestly it is not just a space for show. There is a flow to it and a surprising amount of counter room so if you actually enjoy cooking dinner after a long day or even if you are just making coffee in the morning, it feels easy. I could see myself making breakfast with the balcony door open while the sun comes in.

Walking through to the living and dining area, you get that sense of openness. There are these big doors that lead straight onto a balcony. Some afternoons are just made for letting the breeze in or sitting out with a book. It does not really matter if you put out a big table or just a couple of chairs out there, you will use this balcony, promise. The light just pours in and you almost forget you are in an apartment.

The bedroom is just off the living area and it is got its own bathroom so that feels a bit more private. Built in closets mean there is less clutter, just a cleaner look. The windows in here are pretty big so you wake up to sunlight, which honestly makes it easier to get moving in the morning. Sometimes when I am in there, I just stand by the window for a minute or two, watching little things down below, seeing the neighbourhood start its day.

Al Thayyal itself is quite well known in The Greens. The name is actually from a type of local grass, which just sort of fits because the community feels green, really. Walking around you do see a lot of people out for jogs or just heading down to the pool. You get to use the swimming pool pretty much whenever and there is even a pool for kids, which is handy if you have little ones or visiting family. In the afternoons you see a few games on at the basketball court or sometimes a group using the multipurpose hall. The kids area gets pretty lively in the evenings, but the overall vibe is never too busy. That is the thing, it feels lived in but never crowded.

Getting around from here is simple, whether you are heading to the Marina or to JLT or Al Barsha. Even Downtown Dubai does not take long. Schools are also not far and it is easy to find a coffee shop for lazy weekends. Some neighbours have lived in The Greens for years, which says something about how the community just kind of draws you in.

If you care about a decent built up area, this one is actually pretty generous for a one bedroom apartment. Eight hundred sixty five square feet goes further with a smart layout like this. You never really feel boxed in. The open design makes each corner feel bigger and everything gets enough light.

All in all, it just feels like the sort of home you can settle into right away. Sometimes you almost forget your phone when you are walking through the green spaces. If you are looking for an apartment for rent in The Greens and you want somewhere that just works without any fuss, this is worth a look.

Honestly, the best way to know if it feels right is just to come and walk around. If you want to see it or just have some questions, let me know any time. At LuxuryProperty.com, we try to make next moves as comfortable as they should be.
