Dh90,000
Annual rent for a studio apartment in Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR).
Features This fully furnished, 700-square-foot apartment is located on the 20th floor of Murjan 2.
Pros The sea views are a selling point. The beach is within walking distance and you have access to a communal pool. The number of shops, eateries and entertainment options has increased exponentially with the opening of The Beach – but this hasn't eased traffic on JBR's main throughway.
Cons This is at the high end of what you can expect to pay for a studio apartment in "New Dubai" – the average price in the Marina and Jumeirah Lakes Towers is about Dh75,000. But you do get extra space and sea views.
They say Beachfront living at an attractive price.
We say Murjan 2 is located at the front end of JBR, which makes access in and out slightly easier. Things will get better when the tram comes online, but, for now, be prepared to ditch the car at the weekends
