How to Find a Child-Friendly Apartment in Dubai

December 23, 2020 by Annie

Looking for the perfect apartment can be quite challenging in Dubai. Although the city is not that big, the numerous choices can make it hard for anyone to narrow down their options.

This difficulty is further compounded if you are looking to buy an apartment for your family. There are more elements and factors you have to consider to ensure you invest in the best home for your loved ones.

Leading real estate developers in Dubai say that there are a few essential tips and steps that can help you find the perfect apartment for your family in the city. By implementing them, you can invest in the right property and avoid regretting your decision later on.

Here are some of the best tips for finding a child-friendly apartment in Dubai that is worth buying:

Choose the location well.

Buying an apartment near good schools is a great decision since your children will be spending several years studying. When you can walk your little ones to their school, you can save time and money on driving and picking them up five days a week.

Your home’s proximity to your children’s school ensures everyone does not have to rush every morning to avoid being late due to long drives or commutes.

Consider the location of the apartment in relation to other key places as well. These include grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, medical and dental clinics, parks, and libraries.

When you live near these places, you and your family can go or visit them quickly whenever you need to.

Make sure you are satisfied with the size of the kitchen.

Families spend several hours in the kitchen cooking and eating. Most of the time, this area doubles as a study room for children, too.

Due to these reasons, you have to ensure the kitchen is spacious enough to accommodate your family during meals and when doing other activities.

Make sure the kitchen has enough room for your appliances and equipment. Moreover, it should have plenty of storage space for your food, cook and dining ware, and other household staples.

Although you shouldn’t expect too much from apartments, if you view and study the right properties, you can find one with a reasonably spacious kitchen.

Consider your children when choosing between a two- and three-bedroom flat.

The number of bedrooms families need often depends on the number of children they have. However, it doesn’t mean that your little ones should get a room each.

If you have two children, don’t limit your choices to three-bedroom apartments. Your little ones can benefit from sharing a room, especially if they are still young.

When they grow older, you can split the room into two with a bookshelf or any furniture that can work as a divider.

However, you will do well to talk to your children and ask them if they are comfortable sharing a room, especially if they currently have separate ones. The last thing you want to happen is to have your little ones arguing daily because they can’t seem to get along.

Make sure you are satisfied with the bathroom.

Another area you need to pay attention to when buying an apartment is the bathroom.

If you have younger children, you can make their bath times more enjoyable by choosing an apartment with bathtubs in the bathrooms. However, try to choose one without sliding doors since those can be bothersome.

A two-bathroom apartment is ideal for families. But if those are beyond your budget, with proper planning, you and your loved ones will learn to live even with only a single bathroom. What’s important is that everything is in good condition and the bathroom is sparklingly clean.

Look into the other amenities.

Families living in an apartment need a few more amenities to make their children happier and their jobs easier.

Elevators, concierge, and in-house laundry services are some amenities that can make it easy for parents to do their chores. The presence of a security team 24 hours daily gives all families peace of mind as well.

If the building or complex has a swimming pool, playground, or park, find out if they are well-maintained and if there are security and safety policies in place to ensure your little ones won’t get hurt when using them.

Find out if there are families living in the building.

Finally, before deciding on which apartment to buy, find out if there are other families in the building. Ask your realtor or walk around the complex during the weekend to have an idea of how many families there are and if there are children the same age as your little ones.

If you see other families with children in the pool area, garden, and other areas in the building or complex, you can take this as a sign that living here with your loved ones is a smart decision.

Keep in mind that some buildings or communities can seem great at first. However, with a bit of research, you’ll surely be able to find the best place for your family

Whether you are interested in new real estate projects in Dubai or want to move to a furnished apartment as soon as possible, make sure you choose the best one for your family by following these tips.
