1 bedroom apartment in Park Ridge

Some homes have this calm about them as soon as you walk in. This one bedroom apartment in Park Ridge at Dubai Hills Estate just gives you that easy feeling. When I first stepped inside, I couldn't help but pause for a second to look at the views. You're on a high floor here, so you can see the Burj Khalifa out one window plus a bit of the city's green and even some of those busy roads that always have somewhere to take you. Bright natural light comes in everywhere. Even on a cloudy day, you want to sit by the window for a bit with a good coffee or just scroll on your phone while you watch the world outside.

To be honest, you'll notice the living area just feels larger than you'd expect in a one bedroom apartment in Dubai Hills Estate. You could have a couple friends over, order dinner in on a Friday evening or just stretch out after work with your feet up. Some apartments feel too formal, but this one actually feels like you could live everyday in it and not just turn up every now and then. The furniture matches the mood here – comfortable, new without being fussy. It is fully furnished, so you do not have to think about moving in a thing.

The kitchen stands out a bit because it has this proper space for real cooking. There are high quality appliances waiting in there. It is good if you feel like trying something new at home instead of booking a table. The cabinets give you enough place to put actual stuff, not just a few mugs or plates. I get the sense someone actually thought about storage here. If you love to cook or even if you just want somewhere to put your takeaway boxes and not have them in sight, it works.

The bedroom is tucked away, so you have privacy, and you get those built-in wardrobes that help keep a tidy room. Sometimes it is nice just to close the door and let the noise of the city fade away. The ensuite bathroom feels solid, not flimsy, and it makes a difference when you're getting ready after a long day. There is nothing flashy here, but everything is really well done. Sometimes less is more and this place gets that just right.

One thing about Park Ridge itself: honestly, life here feels simple. You step out the door and there are these landscaped gardens all around. People go for morning walks, sometimes you see kids riding bikes before dinner. The gym is just downstairs, plus a swimming pool that actually gets proper sunlight most of the day, which is rare in Dubai. A lot of residents mingle in the communal spaces or head out for a coffee nearby. The shops and parks at Dubai Hills Estate always seem close, but you almost forget you are part of such a big city until you look out from the balcony again.

Public transport links are pretty handy here and if you need to get to Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina the roads are smooth and always seem just minutes away. Sometimes I think that's the real luxury: knowing you have your own space but the heartbeat of Dubai is never far if you want it. People say Dubai Hills Estate is one of the most sought after communities in the city and once you spend a little time walking around, you start to see why. It is just a little quieter, a little more open, but you still get all the city perks.

This apartment is vacant now, so you can really make it your own without waiting or worrying. Sometimes places tick the boxes and sometimes they just feel right when you're standing there with your shoes off. Best way to know is to come see it for yourself.
