Find Homes by Drive TimeThe International City was developed due to the rising demand for properties in Dubai, as the real estate sector boomed in recent years. The United Arab Emirates saw its economy diversify as it moved from fish exports to bigger and better markets. As demand for property increased in Dubai, prices also went up. For this, the properties in International City were established to provide people with options under the affordable housing category. The City quickly became popular after 2012 with reforms that overhauled the whole area and provided facilities to residents. The International City has now expanded due to huge demand and the extension includes Phase 2, where there are decent apartments available for buying.
There are several affordable Phase 2 apartments for sale that you can buy. Single bathroom studios in Phase 2 are available here, and you can pick from medium and large rooms. You can also buy the 1-bedroom apartments in Phase 2 with single and double bathrooms and 2-bedroom apartments with two bathrooms. There is also the higher-priced 2-bedroom apartment that offers something unique, i.e. the Burj Khalifa and Lake View.
The price for the apartments for sale in Phase 2 is higher as compared to other apartments within the International City. Though rates are still within the affordable range when you compare life in International City with the cost of apartments and living in the rest of Dubai. The studio apartments for sale in Phase 2 start at AED 310,000 per year and hover around AED 460,000 annually. The 1-bedroom apartments cost roughly between AED 499,000 to AED 650,000. The higher-priced flats that we talked about earlier can cost a staggering AED 2,451,000 because their windows open to views of the Burj Khalifa and the Lake. Hence, the overall range for apartments for sale in Phase 2 lies in the AED 310,000 to AED 650,000 range except for the Burj view apartment.
Phase 2 is built on pretty much the same concept as the rest of the International City, which is to provide an affordable living with diversity at the same time. You will find that the architecture here reflects the buildings of ten different countries, including Greece, China, England, Persia and many others. It has decent amenities as well with parks, fitness centers, restaurants, schools, spas, and shopping markets to mention a few.
