Which is a better deal Greens or Views?

The Greens has been a popular residential community in Dubai, especially among expats with small families.

With new buildings coming up in the area  - now known as The Views - some believe that the swanky towers are now overshadowing the older low-rise ones in the area, but opinion on the matter is divided.

Nick Grassick, Sales and Leasing Director at Allsopp & Allsopp believes, The Views in the area seem to be getting a lot of attention from investors.

“Since the beginning of the year, there has been a higher demand for apartments in The Views, especially the Towers as buyers are again looking to take advantage of the uninterrupted golf course views and the quality of a newer finish,” he told Emirates 24|7.

On the other hand, others opine that old Greens still retains its charm.

“Both areas are equally good for investors as rental returns are healthy.

“Old Greens is popular because of its low pricing and the presence of several low-rise developments and open areas that are very popular with Asian communities,” said Mohammad Khalid Khan, Residential Consultant, Head Office at Better Homes.

Commenting on the most popular buildings in The Greens, Khan commented: “Al Nakheel, Al Samar, Al Ghaf [are the most popular], as they are close to the community Centre. Units with pool and garden views are also popular.

As per the Allsopp & Allsopp expert, “The most popular buildings tend to be Al Nakheel, Al Ghaf, Al Sidir and Al Jaz because they are closer to the Community Centre and are generally bigger.

“One of the advantages of these buildings is the fact that there are fewer apartments on each floor compared to Al Thayyal, which many buyers feel will create less noise.

“In The Views, the most popular building would be Golf Towers as the apartments are bigger than the other towers and the fact that Golf Towers is further away from the other towers.”
