Property In Springs Dubai

[swiss pioneeer]

I am new to the forum, so first of all let me say hi.

Just about to move out to duabi and trying to decide which area of The Springs to Rent in.

The rent looks like about 200k per annum for a 3 bed villa. If anybody has any tips on good websites to track down a good deal that would be great.

However as a starting point, could anybody suggest which area of Spings is best.

Also, I am planning to be in Dubai Friday.Saturday and was going to have a drive around. It states that it is a gated community, will I be able to get in to drive around to look.

Many thanks.

Good post here. I am new as well and coming from the US to Dubai to look around in a couple of weeks. Looking at a two bedroom in the Springs and want to know the best area. Will be in Dubai permanently in March sometime. Does the Springs have furnished villas??

Thanks

There may be some furnished properties available, but it isn't the norm here for places to be furnished.

Out of curiosity, why only the Springs? Where you will be working, kids schools(if required) would need to be taken into consideration.

Ogri-

Springs looked like a solid location that was reasonable for prices. I am open to more areas, but don't know too much. My company is located in the Airport Free Zone but will be going to projects at Meydan in Dubai and Yas Island in AD. Any suggestions will be great!

My wife and son (18 months) will be coming with me, so we are excited to hear about good suggestions.

Thank you!

Hi there

Welcome to the forum

We rented a 3 bed villa in Springs 14 in Jan and my hubby started work then although I don't arrive until April. We liked the location as it is across the road from a small shopping mall where there is a supermarket, Starbucks,chemist etc also the major plus is that the school which the children will be going to is also next to the mall so its about half a mile door to door - so in the cooler months I can walk the children back and forth! There is also a health club which you need to become a member but has a gym,pool etc.

Some of the Springs have there own pools and parks however if your villas is in one that doesn't then you can use the others. Although I really wanted to be near the pool and park for the children.

When we rented ours it was much more than 200K AED and I know that rentals are coming down a bit but would be surprised if you could get a 3 bed for that - although in saying that haven't looked on the Gulf News lately and I know we did pay a bit more because of the location.

Although they are gated communities the guards aren't exactly strict!! When we were out in Nov for a look about a friend of ours drove us about in to several of the Springs as well as the Lakes. They will ask you where you are going so you need to state a street and villa no - make one up and you should be fine - or failing that if you can get in contact with some agents they may be able to give you details of a few that are up for rental. Also a lot of rental properties are left open so you can go and have a look inside yourself!!

Hope this helps a bit and any more questions that I can help you with I will do my best to help.

Thanks for that information, very useful.

The reason for just Springs is more to do with Budget. We are looking to keep the price around 200-220k and the springs looks about right for that price given that we are trying to get a 3 bed.

Work will be in DIFC. If anybody has any suggestions of other areas with this cost and spec, open to any ideas.

Had a quick look on Gulf News (online-google Gulf News then scroll to the bottom and click on classified and then property - sorry dont know if I am allowed to post link!) for you and was quiet surprised there are several 3bd villas between 200K-300KAED Obviously depending on location and also some are 3bds plus study. One in particular in Springs 14 220K AED 3bds - you should have a look and maybe worth while giving them a call to see if you can see it while you are out there.

Depending what you need you may want to have a look at 2bds plus a study - you can general get these for less than 200K AED - our is a 3 bd plus study and we have a 4 bed plus family room back in the UK and the square footage is about the same!

As has been said, rental prices are coming down nicely.

I live in Arabian Ranches and there are a good few 3 beds with study around the 200-220k area, but I wasn't dismissing the Springs, just curious.

Swiss Pioneer, where in DIFC will you be working as my wife works there.

Springs prices have come down a lot in the last month or so, a 3 bedroom shouldnt be hard to find for 200,000k AED.

Furnished will be little bit more expensive....... its nice if you can get one that backs the park / swimming pool - or at least a road away e.t.c
