Dubai community guide
Downtown Dubai
The centre of the city, around the world's tallest tower
Overview
Downtown is Dubai's showpiece square mile: Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and the Opera district, ringed by Emaar residential towers of consistently high build quality.
Apartments here carry a premium, but they hold it — Downtown has the deepest pool of end-user buyers in the city and rents to corporate tenants year-round.
The Boulevard buildings suit those who want café life at the door; the Old Town low-rises offer something quieter and more Arabian in character.
