Dubai Science Park
Newer apartments beside Arjan and Al Barsha South.
Living in Dubai Science Park
Dubai Science Park is a business district for science and healthcare companies in Al Barsha South, right next to Arjan and close to Dubai Miracle Garden. Alongside offices and labs, it has a growing number of apartment buildings.
It suits professionals who want a newer apartment close to Al Barsha, Dubai Hills and the main roads, at prices similar to nearby Arjan. Mediclinic Parkview Hospital sits close by.
The residential buildings are mostly modern, with pools, gyms and shops on the ground floor, and many units have balconies with views towards Al Barsha South or the Miracle Garden. The area is quieter than JVC or Arjan in the evenings, because offices and labs empty out after work. For many residents that calm is the main reason to choose it.
