Hi can u pls suggest any 1BHK Apartment near Indian high school.
Thanks.
Hi Raj,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Since Indian High School is located in Oud Metha there are quite a few apartment buildings in the vicinity. Here are some of the 1-bedroom flats currently available in Oud Metha. IHS is also quite close to Dubai Healthcare City, so you might want to look at some of the 1-bedroom apartments here. These are comparatively newer properties.
Other areas which are also close to IHS would be the 1-bed units in Umm Hurrair and Al Karama.
