Top 6 Townhouse communities in Dubai

Townhouses are becoming increasingly popular with residents in Dubai. The longer you live in the city, the more your circumstances change and the more you want Dubai to feel like your home. For many expats, apartment towers are not what they’re used to and they have possibly lived in a semi-detached or terraced property in their home country and this is exactly what people crave and look for after their first few years in Dubai.

Dubai townhouses are the perfect first step to villa life. If you currently live in an apartment, a large villa with a garden can seem like quite a big change, but a townhouse is a great place to start your home from home.
