241 Waterside is a residential development by the sea on Dubai Islands, built by Legacy Star Real Estate Development. This is a new project on the shores of the Arabian Gulf, where you can buy different types of accommodation: lofts, two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments with a separate room for staff, and three-bedroom apartments for families. The sizes of these properties in Dubai start at approximately 867 sqft (81 m²) for lofts, around 1509 sqft (140 m²) for 2-bedroom layouts, and around 1635 sqft (152 m²) for 3-bedroom options.
241 Waterside Dubai Islands is a mid-rise residential development with lots of glass and panoramic windows offering views of the lagoons and waterfronts of the island. The lofts at 241 Waterside Dubai Islands by Legacy Star emphasise open-plan layouts: increased ceiling heights, spacious living rooms, the ability to zone the space with furniture or small partitions, and in some layouts, a two-level solution with a mezzanine. The two- and three-bedroom apartments at 241 Waterside Dubai Islands are designed primarily for families: there are master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, large corridors and a convenient separation of private and guest areas. The kitchens are designed in a contemporary style: clean lines, built-in appliances, practical work surfaces and plenty of storage space. All types of accommodation have balconies or terraces, and stained glass windows allow maximum natural light and offer views of the bay and the city.
The interiors of these apartments on Dubai Islands feature light-coloured walls, warm wood tones, natural stone and neat metal details. This backdrop can be easily complemented with furniture in almost any style, from Scandinavian to more vibrant, designer solutions. An important emphasis is placed on practicality: the designs of apartments at 241 Waterside Dubai Islands include niches and storage cupboards, separate laundry areas in a number of layouts, built-in lighting and a concealed air conditioning system. Additional soundproofing has been provided between neighbouring apartments.
The two-bedroom layouts with a maid's room are designed for families with staff or a nanny: the maid's room is located next to the kitchen and utility rooms, usually has its own small bathroom and sometimes a separate entrance from the service area. In classic 2- and 3-bedroom options, the emphasis is on spacious living rooms where you can gather a large family or a group of friends, and on well-designed sleeping areas with plenty of wardrobes and storage space.
Residents of these properties in Dubai have access to indoor and outdoor gyms with areas for cardio, strength training and functional fitness. Separate spaces are provided for yoga and quiet workouts. The podium features swimming pools for adults and children, terraces with seating areas, shaded courtyards and green areas for walking around the development. For socialising and relaxation, there is a lounge for residents, a spa with saunas and steam rooms, and separate areas for reading and working.

Dubai Islands are located off the coast of Deira, in the north-eastern part of the city. From here, it is about a 20-minute drive to Dubai International Airport, approximately 25 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall, and about 30-35 minutes to business areas such as Business Bay. The islands are connected to the mainland by a wide bridge with several lanes in each direction, and the road network continues to develop: additional bridges and interchanges are planned, which will further reduce travel time to the central areas of the emirate. Water transport will also develop over time: marinas and jetties are already in use for yachts and pleasure boats, and as the population and tourist flow grow, the water taxi network and tourist routes around the bay are expected to expand.
Dubai Islands is developing as a comprehensive coastal area: several interconnected islands, long promenades, extensive beaches, green areas, parks and golf courses with views of the sea and the city skyline. A large number of hotels of various formats, promenades, restaurants and entertainment venues are planned here. The islands and their surroundings already feature family resorts with their own beaches and water parks, including lazy rivers, water slides, and areas for children and teenagers. Retail and leisure infrastructure is also being developed, including large shopping centres, indoor and outdoor markets, waterfront restaurants, and cafes. Just a few minutes' drive away are the historic districts of Deira, traditional gold and spice markets, the waterfront along Dubai Creek, and the Al Seef district with its museums and restaurants.
The rental yield of coastal property in Dubai is traditionally one of the most attractive: depending on the type of property and the format of the lease, you can expect 6-8% per annum for long-term leases and 7-9% and above for resort and short-term leases, especially during seasons of high demand. An additional factor is that property on Dubai Islands is classified as freehold for buyers of any nationality, and properties costing 2 000 000 AED (544 600 $) or more qualify for a long-term UAE Golden Visa, which increases foreign interest in this area.
