ABOUT AL GHADEER
Al Ghadeer is a rapidly growing community by ALDAR, a leading real estate developer in Abu Dhabi. Nestling on the Dubai-Abu Dhabi border, it comprises low-rise residential buildings and villas. The community is a perfect match for those wanting to work in Dubai while living in Abu Dhabi. However, the location might not be the best fit for people who like short commutes since Al Ghadeer is slightly away from key districts of both emirates.
Residential areas in the town have recently evolved resulting in an increased demand for properties, especially for newly constructed apartments. As per Bayut & dubizzle’s Abu Dhabi Annual Market report for 2020, Al Ghadeer is one of the popular areas for buying affordable apartments in Abu Dhabi.

Till then, it is recommended to use a taxi or private vehicles as Al Ghadeer is located at a significant distance from the central areas of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
For all those investors looking for good opportunities in the real estate market, Al Ghadeer makes for a preferable choice with a variety of options.
