When you are looking for a house, you should remember that you are not only buying or renting, you will also become part of the neighbourhood. A good neighbourhood should match your lifestyle and cater to your specific needs. For example, if you have a family, you may want a big house that is close to amenities such as schools and parks. Bachelors may be interested in an apartment that is near to their place of work and restaurants.

Nonetheless, there are certain characteristics that make a neighbourhood great, some of them are listed below:

1. Greenery

The city of Dubai is located in a desert. Therefore, a neighbourhood with a lot of greenery can be very attractive. Trees and lush landscaping offer shade from the hot sun.

There’s a lot of greenery in the Arabian Ranches Villas and townhouses which promises its inhabitants an exclusive lifestyle in the mystery and splendour of the desert. Away from the monotony of the city, residents of Arabian ranches will live at their own pace.

1. Low crime rate

Low crime rate provides a neighbourhood with a sense of calmness and peace. Everybody is concerned with the security and safety of their surroundings. A neighbourhood with a high crime level keeps away renters and buyers. In this regard, the government of Dubai has invested heavily to ensure every citizen lives in peace.

• Essential amenities

Everybody wants to live in a place that is close to essential amenities. For example, projects like Port De La Mer apartments or Bluewaters Residences Dubai, people with children will prefer a place with good schools nearby. Other amenities such as hospitals and entertainment parks are also necessary.

1. Family friendly

A neighbourhood with other families is likely to draw buyers and renters with children. Such neighbourhoods offer children the opportunity to play, socialize and make lifelong friends.

1. Walkability

As more people are becoming aware of their health and fitness, a good neighbourhood should be walkable. Residents can leave their car at home and walk to the market, restaurants and other amenities in the neighbourhood. Apart from walking, the transportation system should also be efficient to connect the neighbourhood. The transportation system should also be environmentally friendly and sustainable to enhance the living experience.
