Topping the list of places for buying property in Abu Dhabi is Al Reem Island, followed by Al Reef and Al Raha Beach. Al Ghadeer enters the top 10 this quarter; its appeal seems to be rising as it did not make the list in Q2 2013 and 2012,” said Michael Lahyani, CEO and Founder of propertyfinder.ae, the UAE’s leading property site.
For those looking to buy property in Al Reem Island, here are some useful figures. The average price of an apartment is AED 1.9 million with the price per sq. ft. stands at AED 1,483. Not just buying; according to propertyfinder.ae’s latest report, Al Reem Island was also the most searched community on the site for renting property in quarter 2. “Al Reem Island steals the spotlight from Khalifa City this quarter to become Abu Dhabi’s most searched rental community. Mohammed Bin Zayed City’s appeal seems to be rising. From not making the top 10 in Q2 2013 and Q2 2012, the community is now at 6th place,” added Lahyani.
