Thanks all, you have given me a few more ideas. I want to stay away from JLT because nothing around it (outside pavement etc) seems finished, the buildings are up up and look good but the surropunding roads just look like a construction site - is this a fair opinion?
I like the idea of the Palm but the Shoreline 3 beds are too small and I am not sure our budget will get a 4 bed. Thanks for the othewr Marina buildings outside of the standard JBR ones.
Horizon in Dubai Marina immediately comes to mind BUT I have heard some horror stories about that tower recently, pool out of use for months and a lot of noisy sharers. Check Marina Crown too, nice building with a great view/location and there are some 4 bed units there. Otherwise JBR, a few, and the Penthouses of the Shoreline apartments on The Palm.
There is less demand here for 4 bed apartment units, as you say most people chose to take a villa but I understand what you thinking is behind your decision.
Did you try the greens? Tecom? Green Community West?
I think your only choices this end of town are
JLT
JBR
Marina
Tecom
Greens
Green Community
Al Barsha
The Palm

We are looking to move to a 4 bed apartment, in the new Dubai area. Budget is 200,000. Can anyone recommend a building that has 4 beds? I have lookied on Dubizzle and other than Murjan in JBR I haven't seen any advertised. I appreciate we can get a villa for this money but we don't want a garden and prefer the higher standard of finishings in an apartment.
Thanks
