Best Places To Live In Dubai With Family

A few years ago, my husband and I included Dubai in our travel bucket list. We wanted a close-up sight of the Burj khalifa. Then, life dished us an opportunity to not only ride the safari camels but to spend the rest of our lives basking in the luxury of the city.

My husband moved in first, and I joined him after three months with my little girl, Isla. We had to move into a new home (my husband was staying in a shared apartment.) Finding suitable accommodation for my family was a tedious process. I had to consider the proximity to my husband’s workplace, schools, and a serene environment. 

Now, if you are moving to Dubai, you might be worried about how to settle into a new city. Where to live and what the best neighbourhoods are..  You could also be wondering if there are any family-friendly places to reside.

 In this article, I have compiled the seven best places to live in Dubai with a family.  Let’s explore Dubai!

Is Dubai Good For Family Living?

Making Dubai a home for our little girl, Isla had me extensively researching how safe and family-friendly the city was. When it comes to family, several factors are considered to determine how convenient a location is, ranging from safety, schools, transportation, and lots more.

As a family of three living in Dubai, I’ll say Numbeo wasn’t bluffing when it voted the city as the seventh safest city globally; you could take a stroll at midnight without looking over your shoulders.

Living in Dubai is a breath of fresh air as the city has a plethora of great schools coupled with affordable tutors and nannies. Dubai boasts an excellent transportation system ranging from Ubers to Metros as well as taxis..

Looking for the perfect restaurant for a family night out? Dubai has an abundance of family-friendly restaurants.  The city also has stunning beaches with pleasant views for a summer family portrait—Dubai ticks many boxes that make it a great place for families to live.

Where Is The Best Place To Live In Dubai For Families?

Before moving into a new home, the neighbourhood must be family-friendly. After combing through a few residential areas in the city, here are the best places to live in Dubai with family.

  1. Jumeirah

If you are searching for the perfect residential area for your kids to enjoy some outdoor activities without the dangers of moving cars, Jumeirah snags the accolade. The suburban area is a blend of locals and expats who love a relatively quiet lifestyle without missing out on the city’s high life. 

Jumeirah is divided into three: Jumeirah 1, 2, 3, City Walk and Jumeirah Bay Islands. Each of these communities comprises low rise apartments, townhouses and villas. These residential properties have aesthetically pleasing finishes, with amenities such as parking space, swimming pool, etc., for family convenience. 

Jumeirah 1 is the most popular among expatriates, and this is because of its proximity to major amenities. But in all the communities in Jumeirah, you’ll find quality healthcare facilities, places of worship, shopping malls, restaurants and leisure parks for kids’ entertainment. 

Jumeirah is well known for seasonal celebrations, which makes it more exciting to reside here. Finding the right educational institution in this city is never a hassle. Notable schools such as GEMS Jumeirah Primary school, Jumeira Baccalaureate school are within the community.
