You know that feeling you get when you walk into a place and it all just comes together. I had that the other afternoon at Collective Tower 1 in Dubai Hills Estate. There is something laid back about this two bedroom corner apartment. Maybe it is the way the sunlight bounces off the pool and sneaks into the living room or how the kitchen does not pretend to be fancy but actually makes you want to put a kettle on and hang out for a while.&nbsp; Honestly, I wandered through and kind of forgot about my list of questions for a minute. The apartment is furnished in a way that feels modern but not so sharp you feel like you cannot just kick off your shoes after a long day. Two bedrooms make it just right if you want extra space for a roommate or maybe a quiet spot to work from home. The main living area is open and you can see everything at once so you will not easily miss out on any of those little moments — talks around the table, catching up while cooking, that sort of thing.&nbsp; What stood out the most is the balcony. It looks straight onto the pool, so you get a sense of life and activity but you are high enough up where it is still your own spot to breathe. I leaned on the railing for a bit and it really hit me how peaceful the place is even with the buzz of the community below. It is an easy walk downstairs to the pool itself. People do laps in the morning and you see kids splashing around most afternoons. Sometimes you can even hear soft music drifting up on weekends. A coffee shop is never too far here. And you are in Dubai Hills Estate which people love for a reason. Leafy parks, green walking paths, and just enough space so everyone is not right on top of each other. You get access to a gym that is actually useful if you want to squeeze in a workout after work. Plus there are playgrounds and parks for just breathing in the fresh air or letting little ones run off some steam. The kitchen surprised me because sometimes in these new towers everything is just for show. Here, I got the feeling someone actually thought about how you might live day to day. Decent storage, built in cabinets where they make sense, and you can chat with anyone in the lounge while you do your thing at the stove. The main bathroom has that clean look without trying too hard and it is all really easy to keep tidy. Bedrooms get just enough natural light so you do not wake up to a cave but you can still take a proper nap on a weekend afternoon. If you do not want the hassle of moving furniture, you are in luck since this apartment comes already furnished. Nothing over the top. It just works. If you are out of milk, it is only a quick walk to the retail spots nearby. Dubai Hills Mall is also around the corner and you can get almost anything you need or catch a movie once in a while.&nbsp; People here actually know their neighbors if you are the social type. But if you prefer quiet, no one bothers you either. Schools and nurseries are in easy reach so you are set if your family is growing or about to. Healthcare is sorted too with clinics close by. There is covered parking so you will not have any trouble finding a spot for your car.&nbsp; Sometimes you almost forget to check your phone with everything going on around you. The best thing about Collective Tower 1 might be how it feels like its own pocket of the city but with all Dubai Hills Estate conveniences. Prices are always moving here since Emaar keeps the community in good shape and people know value when they see it. If you want to walk through for yourself, just let me know. I always think you have to step inside a place before you really know if it fits. No pressure at all. The team at LuxuryProperty.com will help however we can. Let me know when you want to come by. &nbsp;
