2-bedroom apartment in 17 Icon Bay, Dubai Creek Harbour

Some apartments just make you pause for a second. This two bedroom place at 17 Icon Bay in Dubai Creek Harbour does that. I actually caught myself leaning against the glass in the living room, just watching the evening settle over the creek and realizing how high up you really are. When people say highest floor views are different, they mean this. It is bright all day. Sometimes the clouds even look closer than the city and you feel like you could just reach out. The skyline is always there. Some days it is almost like a postcard and other times you spot boats cruising down below and it just feels peaceful.

The whole space kind of opens up in front of you. Nothing feels cramped or awkward. The living area is bigger than you might expect and the way the windows stretch across one whole wall, you get this proper sweep of light in the afternoons. I walked around at midday and honestly you barely need to flick on a switch the sun just comes in and brightens everything up. The open plan layout works in a no nonsense way. No weird corners or tricky little bits just an easy flow from the kitchen to the sofa to one of those windows again.

And the kitchen well it is modern and you can tell it is meant for cooking not just reheating last nights takeaway. You can actually talk to someone in the other room while you are prepping dinner and there is space for the essentials plus a few little extras if you are a gadget person. The storage is smart here. Both bedrooms have these built in wardrobes so no bulky cupboards eating up your floor. It just feels tidy. The main bedroom is that kind of place where you'd wake up on a Sunday, stretch out, and grab a coffee before even thinking about the day. The second bedroom could be anything really guest room, study, even a baby room if you are planning ahead or just somewhere to keep a bike or do yoga.

The bathrooms are modern. Nothing too fancy but everything works and you have space to actually move around. Sometimes with newer flats it all looks glossy but isn't practical but here it feels like they got the balance just right. And of course being this high up you get that extra bit of privacy. No one is peeking in. It is just birds some mornings and maybe a passing cloud.

You get all the good stuff that comes with living at Dubai Creek Harbour too. I talked to two people waiting for the lift who said they almost never leave the promenade on weekends because everything is there. The pool is actually as nice as it looks in the brochures people do swim laps or just float around on some days and the gym gets real use. No hotel gym vibes here it actually smells like people work out. Plus the security guys are around if you ever need something and the parking just works I saw no one circling for a spot even after work hours. So if you have a car or even two, no headaches.

The area outside is just as easy. Morning coffee at one of those little creekside spots is right downstairs. It is also family friendly. Sometimes you see parents with strollers and you get the sense people know their neighbors here. For catching an Uber or hopping over to Downtown Dubai it is smooth no traffic drama most times and the city is never far if you want to head out.

The price really does stand out I did a double take myself considering you are getting a top floor two bedroom with these views and in one of Emaar's best spots. Some places talk about rental potential and it feels like a sales pitch but here it is real I have seen places in this tower rent almost before the adverts even go up. So whether you are looking to live here or let it out it just makes sense. 

The only way to really know if this apartment feels right is to come and see it yourself. I mean that. If you have questions or just want to walk around the building and take in the views let me know anytime. At LuxuryProperty.com we just want to make sure your move feels comfortable and easy.
