Jumeirah Lake Towers
A district of residential and office towers set around man-made lakes, across Sheikh Zayed Road from Dubai Marina, run by the DMCC free zone.
About the area
JLT's towers are grouped into lettered clusters around the lakes, with cafes, shops and walkways at their base, and a mix of homes and offices that keeps the area busy through the week.
Prices generally sit below the Marina across the road, which makes it a common choice for people working nearby and for investors after steady long-let demand.
Getting around
Two Red Line metro stations, DMCC and Sobha Realty, sit along its Sheikh Zayed Road edge, and Dubai Marina and its tram are across the road.
