In a trend similar to cities in Europe and North America, more families are moving to outlying suburbs in Dubai.
The reason for these moves is varied. Some are moving due to prices, while others, as they have children or grow older, are looking for new homes in Dubai and more peaceful, less fast-paced lifestyles. Amenities like nightlife, massive malls, and a lot of restaurants tend to matter less as people mature. Many UAE residents who don’t currently live in Dubai are also moving to these areas.
