1 bedroom apartment in South Ridge, Downtown Dubai

Some homes just feel bigger the moment you step inside. That is exactly what I noticed with this one bedroom apartment up in South Ridge 6, Downtown Dubai. You think you know what a one bedroom is supposed to feel like, then you open the door here and realize it is just not the same as most. The space almost surprises you, I mean it really is the largest one bedroom layout in the South Ridge community, and you can feel it in every corner. Sometimes with city apartments you get that bit of a squeeze but not here. Here you get a proper sense of room to breathe and just live for real.

Up on a higher floor, sunlight pretty much fills every bit. There is something about living up high with those city views. I stood by the window and honestly just watched everything going on outside for longer than I meant to. Some days, with the floor to ceiling windows, you would not even need to turn on a light until after sunset. The view is tall buildings and the sky and sometimes you catch sight of a bird gliding against the backdrop of the Burj Khalifa which is not far away at all. You feel right in the center of Downtown but also above it all at the same time.

The kitchen was something that caught my eye too. A lot of apartments have those tiny open kitchens that make cooking a game of balancing plates but not here. This is a semi closed kitchen which is actually a sweet spot for most people. You can cook up something real without worrying that it will fill the entire living space with smells but you are not blocked off either. The layout just makes it easy. Even with guests over everyone still ends up hanging out between the kitchen and the living area. That is just how homes work sometimes.

You get two bathrooms here, which makes mornings a lot easier if there are two of you or if you have friends over and someone needs to dash in for a quick change. Having a guest bathroom is a little thing that actually makes a big difference. Plus the place has its own reserved parking spot which not every apartment gives you so that is always good to have in Downtown Dubai. Parking can be a game sometimes but here it is one less thing to worry about.

One thing you notice right away in South Ridge 6 is how well everything is kept up. The whole building feels looked after. Sometimes you walk in and there are fresh flowers at reception which is a nice touch. The gym surprised me honestly because it is kitted out better than most hotels I have seen. People who actually work out seem to use it which says something. Then there is the pool which is big enough to swim a proper lap or just float for a while if you are winding down from work. It feels social without being packed. There is also a sauna and steam room downstairs so you can actually enjoy a spa moment without leaving home.

Living here means you are walking distance from so much. The Burj Khalifa is right down the road and you can even catch a fountain show if you feel like it. Dubai Mall is just close enough for that last minute errand or just if you fancy a new coffee spot. Plus there are always restaurants around here and if you are someone who likes a morning jog, you see plenty of others out in the evenings or early in the morning. Downtown life can be busy but here, you get that bit of calm with it too.

It is chiller free as well, which means you do not have to worry about those big AC bills—one less headache when you are living in Dubai. The apartment just feels looked after and easy, and I think that matters when you are picking somewhere to live.

Honestly, you can do all the research in the world but the only way to find out how this place feels is to come see it. If you have any questions or want to wander through together, just reach out. At LuxuryProperty dot com, we care about making your move feel as easy and real as possible.
