Dh230,000 Annual rent for a four-bedroom bungalow in Dubai Investment Park (DIP)

Features The L-shaped, single-storey villa measures 4,200 square feet and is located in Green Community West. A spacious entrance hall leads into a large living and dining area, across from a private family room. There's also a big, open-plan kitchen, the master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and dressing area, and the maid's quarters are separate to the main house.

Pros All rooms open out into the garden. The property is in a cul-de-sac, a short walk from a park. Communal facilities include swimming pools, tennis and volleyball courts and dedicated children's play areas. There's also a hotel, shopping mall and numerous restaurants within walking distance.

Cons DIP is off the beaten track – and you have to navigate Emirates Road and the dreaded Green Community roundabout. Rent is paid in one cheque.
