Ghala Garden sits in Arjan, in the area Dubai's community map calls Al Barsha South 3. It is a seven-storey freehold building by Ghala Realty & Development, with studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments and seven shops on the ground floor. It suits people who want a green neighbourhood.

Key takeaways

• 7 storeys: a ground floor with 7 retail units and 6 residential floors.
• Freehold, developed by Ghala Realty & Development.
• Studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments.
• One-bedroom apartments are 883 to 1,100 sq ft; two-bedroom apartments go up to 1,759 sq ft.
• Arjan Family Park is right next to the building.
• Area-wide, Dubai Land Department recorded 4,099 sales in Arjan over the latest 12 months.

Seven shops and six residential floors

The ground floor is given over to 7 retail units, so the street level of the building has shops rather than flats. The 6 floors above are homes. Ghala Realty & Development is part of Ghala Holdings.

That layout matters for daily life. A residential block with shops at the bottom usually has more people coming and going at the entrance than a block that is homes only. Some residents like having shops under the building, and others prefer a quieter entrance, so it is worth seeing the ground floor for yourself.

Every apartment has a private balcony looking onto the community, and the building has high-speed elevators and covered parking in the basement and on the podium.

You can read more about the developer on the Ghala Realty & Development page. Ask which shops are open on the ground floor, what hours they keep, and how deliveries reach them, since that affects noise at the entrance. If you are viewing a home on a lower residential floor, go at a busy time of day to hear what the shops add.

Apartment sizes: one-bedrooms from 883 sq ft

The building has studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.

One-bedroom apartments are 883 to 1,100 sq ft. Two-bedroom apartments go up to 1,759 sq ft and have a guest bathroom as well as a main one.

Inside, the kitchens have fitted cabinets and appliances, the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the windows are double-glazed. The apartments have central A/C, with controls for each unit.

Sizes vary within each type, so a one-bedroom at the lower end of the range will feel quite different from one at the upper end. Ask for the floor plan of the exact apartment and check that the layout works for the furniture you own.

Studio sizes are not fixed either, so ask for the exact floor plan of a studio as you would for the larger types. Ask which appliances stay with the apartment, whether the double-glazed windows open fully, and how the A/C control for the unit works. In a two-bedroom, check where the guest bathroom is in relation to the second bedroom.

Bring a tape measure to the viewing, along with the dimensions of your sofa and bed, since sizes within a type vary.

Pool, gym and children's play area

The building has a swimming pool, a gym and a children's play area. Security runs 24/7 with CCTV cameras.

These facilities are shared by everyone in the building, so ask how they are managed: opening hours, rules for guests and whether any of them are closed for maintenance. A pool and a gym are easy to like on a viewing and easy to forget about once you have moved in, so find out what you would actually use.

Ask whether the pool has set hours for children, and whether the children's play area is open to everyone in the building or only to certain residents.

With 24/7 security and CCTV, ask who monitors the cameras and how visitors are registered at the entrance.

Next to Arjan Family Park

Arjan is a district of Dubailand and lies between Dubai Sports City to the south and Al Barsha to the north. Arjan Family Park is right next to the building, and the community is also home to Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Butterfly Garden.

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) serves the area, and connector roads in Al Barsha South link it to Al Khail Road.

If you have children, the park next to the building is a practical advantage, because it gives them somewhere to play outside beyond the building's own play area. Visit it at the hours you would actually use it, and see how it looks on a weekday and on a weekend.

You will see Arjan and Al Barsha South 3 used for the same community on maps and documents, so check which name a listing or a contract uses and make sure it refers to the building you viewed.

It tells you how active the area has been and roughly where the middle of the registered deals sits. It does not tell you what a particular apartment in Ghala Garden has sold or rented for. If you are thinking of buying or renting here, ask for recent registered figures for this building and for similar-sized apartments in it.

A checklist before you buy or rent at Ghala Garden

1. Ask for the exact size and floor plan. One-bedroom apartments run from 883 to 1,100 sq ft, so get the size of the specific apartment in writing.
2. Check the ownership document. For a completed unit, ask to see the title deed. If the unit is still being built, ask for the Oqood registration and check that the name on it matches the person selling.
3. Ask for the service charge budget. The owners' association sets a budget for the building. Ask what it covers, for example the pool, the gym, the lifts and security.
4. Confirm the parking. The building has covered parking in the basement and on the podium. Ask which level your space is on and whether it is allocated to the unit.
5. Find out what the rent includes. If you rent, ask whether any services or utilities are part of the rent and who pays for repairs inside the apartment.
6. Register the tenancy in Ejari. A rental contract should be registered in Ejari. Do not pay a deposit before you have seen the contract.
7. View at different times of day. Go once in the morning and once in the evening. Listen for noise from the ground-floor shops and the entrance, and check how much daylight reaches the balcony.
8. Test the details. Open the wardrobes and kitchen cabinets, run the taps, try the balcony doors and the windows, and check the A/C control in the unit.
9. Read the building rules. Ask about rules for the pool, the gym, the play area and moving in, and how the owners' association keeps residents informed.
