The key to a healthy lifestyle lies in making life choices that boost overall health, and your home is no exception. This has propelled Dubai’s real estate industry to rally around ‘lifestyle properties’ that make healthy living naturally easy. So, if you’re willing to commit to going that extra mile health-wise, investing in a fitness-and-health-friendly neighbourhood is a step in the right direction.

Here are some of the main neighbourhood features you should be looking for when investing in a Dubai property for a healthy lifestyle boost.

Green communities

With modern lifestyles being more prone to high degrees of anxiety and stress, mental care warrants special attention, and green communities in dubai overflowing with natural open spaces might be just what you need. Growing evidence shows green surroundings positively impact the mind and body, curtail stress, and convey a deep sense of relaxation.  Open stretches of green foliage even lower local temperatures by a few degrees, which is always welcome in Dubai. Few things can match up to the pleasures of walking under the early morning sun and taking in the crisp fresh air. Hence, your search for a healthy home should begin with parks, jogging and cycling tracks, children’s play areas and all possible avenues to enrich your wellbeing. dubai properties like DAMAC’s AKOYA Oxygen – a master development spread across 55 million square feet of lush greenery – have already provided a head start in that direction. The community even boasts its own tropical rainforest and is dubbed as ‘Dubai first green residential address.’
