Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are the most popular areas for residence in Dubai in 2022 for their vibrancy and unique lifestyle offerings.
According to Property Finder’s latest data, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Village Circle, and Jumeirah Lake Towers are the other top searched areas in the emirate.
“Dubai Marina remains one of the most vibrant areas in the emirate, where there’s everything for everyone, mainly for those who are looking to enjoy the best the city has to offer combining the urban and waterfront lifestyle. Additionally, the city features beautiful skyscrapers and hosts lots of activities and is bustling with attractions, leisure and entertainment options. Not to forget Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and the Beach which are in close proximity,” says the leading real estate marketplace.
Downtown, which is home to Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, makes it a top choice for property buyers and rentals for its great connectivity, pedestrian-friendly walkways and the city’s finest dining and nightlife venues.

“It’s not strange that the three areas are always among the top desirable areas in Dubai, as each possesses different attributes and is appealing to residents and investors alike,” it said.
But due to the strong demand and their popularity, Dubai Marina, Downtown and Business Bay have witnessed the biggest increase in rentals in the second quarter of this year.
