Things to consider about Albahar
In its favour
- Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall metro station is within walking distance.
- Several schools within 3 km.
Worth checking
- Few sales each year, so a resale can take longer and prices move on a handful of deals.
- Service charges of up to AED 56.09 per sq ft are on the higher side for Dubai.
- Still being built: the handover date can move, and the price is paid in stages before you get the keys.
