City Walk

The Headline

City Walk is one of Dubai’s most curated communities—designed from the ground up to feel walkable, modern, and stylish. Nestled between Downtown and Jumeirah, it combines the energy of a city district with the intimacy of a residential enclave. Cafes spill onto the pavement, boutiques sit under shaded arcades, and everything is connected by tree-lined walkways. It’s a favourite among creatives, professionals, and frequent travellers who want to live close to the action, but in a space that feels considered. From loft-style apartments to penthouses with Burj views, City Walk offers a lifestyle that’s elevated, effortless, and distinctly urban.

Who is it right for?

- Design-conscious professionals

- Couples who want a social lifestyle

- Frequent travellers

- Those seeking walkable, boutique-style living

- Residents who want to be central but not in a high-rise

European-style streets meet Middle Eastern sunlight. You’ll see dog-walkers in the mornings, art installations between buildings, and groups gathered for late-night coffee.

Housing types & architecture

City Walk is known for its low-rise buildings with floor-to-ceiling windows, open-plan layouts, and premium interiors. Apartments range from one-bedrooms to expansive penthouses, many with Burj Khalifa views. Architecture blends minimalism with warmth, using natural materials, shaded terraces, and soft lighting. It feels more like an upscale European neighbourhood than a typical Dubai development.

Insider tip from KR

Check out Building 9 and La Ville Hotel residences—they offer some of the most private layouts with direct access to the pedestrian zone. It’s where design meets lifestyle without the crowd.
