District One Residences apartment buildings beside the Crystal Lagoon in District One, MBR City — Low-rise and mid-rise residential buildings on the Crystal Lagoon waterfront.

District One Residences 2 overview

District One Residences 2 is a residential apartment building in the District One Residences cluster in District One, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Dubai. Agents also market it as "The Residences 2 at District One". The cluster is a group of separate low-rise and mid-rise buildings, ranging from around four to sixteen storeys, set beside the Crystal Lagoon, which is promoted as a seven-kilometre lagoon with a beachfront and boardwalk.

DPF places District One Residences 2 in the District One community, which sits within the Mohammed Bin Rashid City area, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. District One is close to Meydan and is a short drive from Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Dubai International Airport.

Meydan and the District One Residences

District One is developed by Meydan Group, working in partnership with Sobha on the wider District One masterplan. Market sources describe the District One Residences buildings as ready to move in, so units in District One Residences 2 now trade as completed homes on the secondary market rather than as off-plan contracts.

The cluster uses numbered building names, and DPF records each one separately. District One Residences 2 is a different building from District One Residences 13, which has its own listings on DPF. Listing portals use slightly different versions of the name, so always check the building number on the title deed before relying on a listing.

Layouts

Across the District One Residences buildings, market sources list:

One-bedroom apartments
Two-bedroom apartments
Three-bedroom apartments

Published sizes across the cluster range from roughly 737 to 1,736 square feet, depending on bedroom count and layout. Some units look onto the Crystal Lagoon, the Downtown skyline or Meydan, while others face internal courtyards. Confirm the floor, view, size and exact plan of any resale unit against its documents, because these vary between units and buildings.

Amenities and the wider community

Amenities promoted for the District One Residences include:

Swimming pools and a gym
Landscaped courtyards, gardens and children's play areas
Covered parking and gated security
Access to the lagoon beachfront and boardwalk
Jogging and cycling tracks

Residents also have the wider District One setting, which includes large open green spaces, retail and dining outlets, and the District One villa communities. Ask the seller or the building manager which facilities serve District One Residences 2 specifically and what the service charges cover.

Finding distressed and below-market units in District One Residences 2

A District One Residences 2 distress sale usually comes from a motivated seller who needs to exit quickly, is relocating, or wants to release capital for another purchase. Some owners bought early and now prefer to sell rather than hold. Any below market or below original price tag on a DPF listing reflects the seller's or agent's view. DPF has not valued the apartment, so treat such labels as a prompt for your own research.

Before agreeing terms on a unit in District One Residences 2, check:

Title deed: confirm the building is District One Residences 2 and match the unit number exactly.
Recent transactions: compare the asking price with recent Dubai Land Department sales for the same building and layout.
Seller's outstanding balance: if there is a mortgage, agree in writing how the bank is paid off at transfer.
Developer NOC: the developer releases its NOC after confirming the account is clear.
DLD transfer: the Dubai Land Department records the change of owner; fix the fee split beforehand.
Service charges: confirm charges are settled and ask for the current budget.
Occupancy: confirm whether the unit is vacant or tenanted, and see the Ejari and tenancy end date if rented.

A RERA-registered agent and an independent conveyancer are worth involving, especially when a sale is being completed quickly.
