On the market: a studio apartment in International Media Production Zone, Dubai



Dh45,000

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.
