Al Reem Island

A modern skyline, waterfront apartments and access to the capital's core create an efficient urban base. The island offers substantial choice for professionals and families, but management history, parking ratios, service charges and peak-hour travel should be checked at building level.

Homes and island living

Apartments, townhouses and villas differ materially in space, maintenance and tenant profile.

05

What to compare before buying

Beyond price and floor area, buyers should verify ownership eligibility, building-management history, service charges, parking, the real view, beach or club access terms and peak-hour travel. Off-plan purchases also require a review of development progress, payment plans and the time a new community may need to mature after handover.
