what would be the size of an average 3 or 4 bedroom flat?


Almost always more than 1000 sq ft ---- usually more like 1500. Just depends on the age of the building (newer buildings are smaller).

It's a balancing act. The real new places in your price range will feel tiny. The older buildings will have leaks, mold, and other charming idiosyncrasies.

People in Ras al Khaima or Dubai are more likely to get something other than a flat.


Did you mean RAK or Dubai or RAK or Al Ain?

I have always known more people in villas in Dubai, RAK, and AA than in AD.

More and more HCT people are getting apartments in Dubai because of the soaring rental costs. They do try to give families with children villas but this may change - again because of the costs involved and the distances from the 2 colleges there - people might not want a villa that will mean a commute of 1hour plus in traffic.[/code]
