When you lead an active lifestyle, Dubai Sports City (DSC) is an excellent choice. The area hosts a sheer number of in- and outdoor sports facilities to remain fit. But it is not all about sports, DSC also is known for being affordable and therefore a popular area for first-time homebuyers. DSC is a relatively small district in Dubai with a beneficial location, providing access to all main road arteries in the city. Although DSC is coming of age and a number of communities have been established, there are still new projects available in the off-plan segment. When this appeals to you, keep reading as we explore the ins and outs of living in Dubai Sports City.
Situated on Mohammad Bin Zayed Road and near Al Khail Road, DSC has a convenient location that allows residents to quickly get to most parts of the city. It takes, for example, no more than 15 minutes to get to Dubai Media City and Business Bay.

All units have in common that they are on the affordable side of the spectrum and that they are well-equipped when it comes to amenities. The area is still developing and that is why there is also a variety of off-plan properties on the market, interesting for both homebuyers and investors.
DSC is not connected to the metro system but there is a bus line that connects residents to most parts of the city. For car owners, it is good to know that each apartment comes with at least one covered parking space. Currently, there are sufficient parking spaces for visitors but this might change in the future as the area is still developing.
