New York Styled Duplex One Bedroom Apartment

Some homes have that instant pause moment when you step inside. This New York styled duplex in Marina Arcade really did that for me. I actually just stood by the window for a bit and watched the city lights play off the glass towers. The apartment itself is huge for a one bedroom place. The ceilings feel extra tall and everything is open and airy. There is something about being split between two floors that makes it feel more like a small townhouse right in the sky.

You sort of feel that New York inspiration without it ever feeling cold or over the top. The living area has plenty of space where you can actually stretch out, throw your shoes off and just settle in. The kitchen surprised me, honestly. It is not just for show. It is the kind of space where you might actually cook a big breakfast or late night pasta, especially when friends pop by because the room just pulls you in. Sometimes you forget how much square footage matters until you are actually inside and you can see for yourself how much room you get here.

The bedroom, up the stairs, has this relaxing feel. I am not sure exactly why, maybe it is because the city noise melts away as you get higher. Sometimes you wake up and see yachts moving in the Marina through your window, with the sun really lighting up the water. There is loads of built in storage so you do not have to worry about squeezing things into cupboards that do not close. The bathroom has proper finishing and feels like somewhere you would actually linger after a long day just to let the steam clear away the week.

What surprised me about Marina Arcade is how quickly life falls into a nice routine. Everything you could want is right here. The lobby downstairs is one of those rare spaces where you might actually want to spend a few minutes. It almost feels like a quiet hotel lounge with comfy chairs and staff that remember your name. For daily things, you are close to everything. If you like to walk, the Marina Walk is basically on your doorstep. You could grab a coffee and stroll every morning, just people watching as yachts come and go. Big malls are not far either. Shopping never feels like a chore because groceries and everything else you need are just steps away.

There is something to be said for being in a supertower like this. You get access to a really well looked after gym, a pool that feels sunny and private at the same time, and even spots to relax outside. Sometimes you see a game of table tennis or people working on their laptops in shared spaces. The best part is the access. You never sit in traffic here and getting in and out of Dubai is about as easy as it gets, especially if you need to get to Dubai Media City or the Palm. Metro and tram stations are close by if you do not feel like driving. Honestly, it just feels easy.

The community itself is lively but never overwhelming. Evenings are good for walks and you will spot families and couples out. Sometimes you can hear a bit of the city but mostly, from up in the apartment, it is peaceful. The sunsets from here can be different every night. Some days the sky really shows off and you get those golden and pink colors stretching across the water.

If you are looking for a real one bedroom duplex in Dubai Marina, especially at Marina Arcade, this apartment really stands out. The feeling of space and light is the first thing you will notice, but I think what sells it is that it feels like home by the time you finish walking through.
