Al Barsha (simply called as Barsha) is a key residential district in Dubai. It was mainly a vast sandy area with a few residential projects and a minimal road network. With the opening of Mall of the Emirates in 2005, the neighbourhood has completely transformed. Al Barsha has now become a major commercial and residential hub with affordable housing in Dubai. It is a self-contained community with a range of hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. Also, residents have access to a number of supermarkets, metro station, reputed schools and hospitals at a hand’s length.

It has notably grown as the third most popular area with luxury villas offered at reasonable rents as seen in Bayut’s Market Report for 2020. The highly convenient location and the bonus of an educational district nearby makes it a good choice for families. Interested tenants can consider various projects in Barsha 1 as it is one of the best areas to rent properties in Al Barsha offering a mix of both, independent villas and apartments.
