Annual rent for a studio apartment in International Media Production Zone
, Dubai
Features
The 508-square-foot apartment is in Tower A of the Lago Vista complex in International Media Production Zone (IMPZ).
Pros
The apartment has its own allocated parking space. Communal facilities include a swimming pool, tennis court and children's play area. You'll be hard-pressed to find cheaper rent in Dubai right now.
Cons
IMPZ is still very much under development, so your views will largely consist of construction sites.
They say
Perfect for the executive bachelor.
We say
If you're on a tight budget, this is definitely worth a look, particularly if you work in Jebel Ali or IMPZ itself. There's not a lot going on in these parts, in terms of facilities, but there's easy access onto Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and the Green Community and Motor City are a short drive away.

Expert input
If you had all the money in the world, what’s the one sneaker you would buy or create?
“There are a few shoes that have ‘grail’ status for me. But the one I have always wanted is the Nike x Patta x Parra Air Max 1 - Cherrywood. To get a pair in my size brand new is would cost me between Dh8,000 and Dh 10,000.” Jack Brett
“If I had all the money, I would approach Nike and ask them to do my own Air Force 1, that’s one of my dreams.” Yaseen Benchouche
“There’s nothing out there yet that I’d pay an insane amount for, but I’d love to create my own shoe with Tinker Hatfield and Jordan.” Joshua Cox
“I think I’d buy a defunct footwear brand; I’d like the challenge of reinterpreting a brand’s history and changing options.” Kris Balerite
“I’d stir up a creative collaboration with designers Martin Margiela of the mixed patchwork sneakers, and Yohji Yamamoto.” Hussain Moloobhoy
“If I had all the money in the world, I’d live somewhere where I’d never have to wear shoes again.” Raj Malhotra
