Al Barsha South 2 is part of the larger Al Barsha South development, initiated in the early 2000s on what was previously desert land, with significant urban growth spurred by the opening of Mall of the Emirates. It serves as a residential enclave offering suburban privacy within Dubai.
The community predominantly features three to five bedroom villas and townhouses, complemented by apartments ranging from studios to three bedroom layouts. These properties are designed with landscaped exteriors, private driveways, and provide access to shared amenities like gyms, pools, and community parks.
Retail and leisure needs are met by City Centre Al Barsha within the sub community, which hosts supermarkets, dining outlets, cinemas, and family focused services. The community’s proximity to Dubai Science Park offers further commercial opportunities and employment options.
More than a residential area, Al Barsha South 2 is adjacent to Dubai Miracle Garden and Butterfly Garden (in Al Barsha South 3), enriching residents’ leisure options with green, family-friendly attractions.
