Annual rent for a two-bedroom apartment in The Greens, Dubai
Features The 1,318-square-metre apartment is located in Golf Tower 2 in The Views — the newer, swankier bit of The Greens. It comes fully furnished, and one of the rooms has been converted into a study.
Pros The apartment is on the 29th floor, and is one of only two in the building that offers full views of The Palm. Rent can be paid in four cheques, and includes broadband internet, Dewa bills, a landline and a satellite TV package. Communal facilities include a good-sized pool, a gym and landscaped gardens.
Cons We would probably ask to change up some of the furnishings.
They say Breathtaking vistas.
We say The Greens is a great place to live, in terms of location and amenities, and the apartment does offer great views.
