About Al Barsha Heights
Properties · Lifestyle · Who lives here
Property Mix
Al Barsha Heights (also known as Tecom) is the residential hub for Dubai's knowledge and media economy — a cluster of mid-rise apartment towers positioned directly adjacent to Dubai Internet City, Media City and Knowledge Village free zones, creating one of the most convenient live-work locations in the UAE for technology, media and educational professionals. The property mix focuses predominantly on studios and one-bedroom apartments, though a number of larger units and hotel apartments expand the offering.
Community Vibe
The community vibe is youthful and professional — residents are primarily young expat professionals working in the adjacent free zones, and the area's retail and F&B scene reflects this demographic with a concentration of fast-casual dining, coffee shops and co-working spaces. JBR Beach is accessible in 15 minutes by car or metro, providing a leisure anchor for the working community.
Who Lives Here
Al Barsha Heights attracts technology entrepreneurs, media professionals, educators and corporate employees who place the highest value on minimising their daily commute. Rental yields are consistently strong given the proximity to major employers, and the area's free-zone adjacency ensures a steady pipeline of incoming international professionals who typically rent before committing to a purchase.
