We are new to Dubai and looking for Villa /Townhouse accommodation to rent close to metro line can you please advise on any communities that would be easily accessible for my husband to take the metro to work.  Thank  you for your help it is all very new and daunting at the moment.

The big question is ‘what is your budget?’.  Most of the accommodation which is within walking distance of the metro line is apartments such as Jumeirah Lake Towers, Business Bay.  However many of the villa/townhouse communities have ‘feeder buses‘ to the metro stations.  These communities include Garhoud, Mirdif, Arabian Ranches, parts of the Meadows, Al Barsha, Old Town and Jumeirah Islands.   However, I would first look at your budget and take into other considerations such as place of work and schools etc before narrowing down the big search.  Please take a look at our communities page to help you with the search.
