Where to Find a Luxurious Flat for Rent in Dubai:

If you’re looking for a swanky apartment for rent in Dubai, you’ll find plenty of areas to choose from. 

Downtown Dubai

Downtown Dubai is at the top of the list for those who want to be at the centre of it all. Living here puts you in proximity to the hottest spots in Dubai such as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and the Dubai Opera.

The apartments for rent in DIFC are known for their opulence and usually sit in high-rise towers.

With yachts dotting the massive marina, and surrounded by imposing skyscrapers, this area is perfect for anyone who enjoys the finer things in life.

Needless to say, staying in Dubai means that you’ll be spoilt for choice when looking for a deluxe home. Plus, most of these areas are serviced by metro stations, making it easy to move around the city. 

Where to Find a Cheap Apartment for Rent in Dubai 

Just like there are plenty of costly flats for rent in Dubai, there’s also no shortage of affordable ones. Some of the popular areas to find a cheap apartment for rent in Dubai are:

Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC)

JVC is one of the most popular areas to rent flats in Dubai. This is because it combines luxury with affordability, as it has elegant buildings with facilities like gyms and pools while still providing reasonably priced apartments. Plus, it’s a pet-friendly and family-friendly area that’s rich in amenities, so you’ll always have everything you need around the corner. There are all kinds of apartments for rent in JVC, from studios up to 4-bedroom units.

Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) 

Another great option is Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO). This quiet community is tucked away from the bustle of Dubai and features a serene, holistic lifestyle. The apartments for rent in Dubai Silicon Oasis are quite affordable and have all the amenities you need to live comfortably. 

International City 

One of the most affordable areas in Dubai, International City is uniquely themed after different countries and lies next to the lively Dragon Mart shopping centre. The apartments for rent in International City mostly come in studio, 1, and 2-bedroom variations, with some 3-bedroom apartments available. 

There are plenty of other areas that provide affordable flats for rent in Dubai. Some of those are Town Square, Dubai Sports City, and Dubai Production City (IMPZ). 

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Flat in Dubai?

Rental costs in Dubai vary greatly depending on the neighborhood and property size. For instance, a studio for rent in International City ranges from AED 26k to AED 48k yearly. Meanwhile, a studio for rent in JVC would range from AED 40k to AED 104k yearly. 

However, a 1 bedroom apartment for rent in Dubai Marina would cost an average of AED 100k, and a 1 BHK in Downtown Dubai would stand at AED 132K. 

If you’re looking for a bigger apartment in other areas, however, then the average price of a 2 BHK for rent in Dubai would be AED 113k yearly. A 3-bedroom apartment stands at AED 174k, while a 4-bedroom apartment would cost AED 334k on average. 

With that in mind, you can easily find prices that go above or below average, depending on where you choose to live. 

Tips to Get a Flat for Rent in Dubai At a Good Price

There are many ways to save on rent if you're running on a tight budget. Whether you’re looking for a studio apartment for rent in Dubai, a 1 bedroom apartment to rent in Dubai, or bigger sizes, you can find affordable options.

1- Look for special offers and discounts.

Many landlords offer lower rates for the first few months of a lease agreement. Sometimes long-term rentals are cheaper than short-term ones. While at other times short terms are more affordable if you’re not staying for the whole period. So it all depends on how long you are planning to stay.

2- Compare prices across different areas.

Rent prices can vary greatly between neighborhoods. So if you're open to different areas, it's crucial to research before settling on a place.

If you’re ok with sharing, consider getting a roommate. It's a great way to reduce costs when looking for a flat or apartment for rent in Dubai.

3- Negotiate with your landlord.

If you have good credit and a solid rental history, or if you’re new to the area you can also negotiate. You’ll lose nothing if you try! You may be able to negotiate a lower monthly rate with your landlord.

4- Get creative with your living space.

If you’re open to living in a smaller space or in an unconventional location, you may be able to find more affordable options than traditional apartments or flats.

There are a few differences between flats and apartments 

The word flat is originally came from the English word “flett” which refers to a floor, which indicates the flat can be only one floor and not multiple.

Flats are generally found in older, historic buildings while apartments tend to be in newer construction. Moreover, flats typically have only one level while apartments may have multiple levels. For example, a duplex can be an apartment but it cannot be flat. Flats often have high ceilings and large rooms while apartments tend to be more compact.

Finally, flats usually don’t have amenities like pools or fitness centers that you might find in an apartment complex. In sum, if you’re looking for an affordable unit, then opt for a flat. But if you’re looking for luxury then you can search for an apartment.

The price highly depends on the size of the flat for rent in Dubai, and the neighborhood you choose. Naturally, a studio would be far more affordable than a 3-bedroom apartment.

Long-Term Rentals Vs. Short-Term Rentals in Dubai For Apartments and Flats

There are many benefits to short term rentals in Dubai. One of the most obvious is the convenience factor. With a furnished apartment for rent in Dubai, there is no need to worry about buying or shipping furniture. This can be a huge benefit for those who are moving to Dubai on a short-term basis, whether for work or pleasure.

Short-term rentals may be more expensive than long-term rentals if you're comparing the same property. This is because short-term rentals are priced daily. However, if you're staying temporarily, short-term rentals can be cheaper than hotels.

Short-term flats for rent in Dubai also tend to be centrally located, giving you easy access to all that the city has to offer. Whether you want to be close to the action of Downtown Dubai or the quieter beachside neighborhoods, you'll find plenty of areas to choose from.

To sum up, a short-term apartment for rent in Dubai provides more privacy and space than staying in a hotel room would. If you’re traveling with family or friends, having your own kitchen, living room and sleeping quarters can make for a much more enjoyable experience than being cramped up in one hotel room together. Fortunately, it’s very easy to rent a house in Dubai, regardless of the length of your stay and the number of people you’re with.

Meanwhile, many people choose to rent flats in Dubai for the long term for several reasons.

One of the main reasons is cost, long term rentals are usually cheaper than hotels or short-term rentals. 

Flexibility is another major benefit of long-term rentals. You can usually choose your own lease length and move in/out dates, which can be very helpful if your work or travel plans are subject to change.

Finally, furnished apartments with good-quality furniture tend to be more common in Dubai. So if you’re looking for a ready-to-move-into solution it’s worth considering a furnished long-term rental.

Finding Ready-To-Move Flats To Rent In Dubai

One of the biggest advantages of renting is that it’s often more affordable than buying, especially if you’re not ready to commit to a long-term mortgage. Renting also gives you the flexibility to move if your job or lifestyle changes. And since you’re not responsible for maintenance and repairs, renting can be a hassle-free way to live in Dubai. If you’re considering renting a ready-to-move flat in Dubai, here are a few things to keep in mind.

The first step is finding the right neighborhood. There are dozens of great neighborhoods throughout Dubai, so take some time to research which one would be the best fit for you.

Once you’ve narrowed down your search area, start looking at available flats for rent in Dubai on Property Finder and contact real estate agents. When viewing potential flats, pay attention to the size and layout of the unit as well as any included amenities like parking or storage space. It’s also important to consider whether the building has security features like CCTV cameras and an intercom system.
