Average rent price/housing type: Dhs130,0000 per year (one-bedroom apartment).
Located right on the beachfront, JBR is made up of a series of (very similar) high-rise buildings, so it's apartments all the way.
Most apartments are well-sized and you've got a great chance of getting an uninterrupted sea view depending on where you choose.
To rent a one-bedroom apartment for the year, the latest data from Property Finder estimates it'll cost you around Dhs130,000.
The average cost to buy a one-bedroom apartment in JBR is around Dhs1.35m.
Where to eat in JBR
JBR is a popular spot with residents and tourists, so you're spoilt for choice when it comes to where to eat.
To start the day on a sweet note, grab a morning pastry at Bake My Day, or grab your caffeine fix at the Arabica Coffee stand.
For an ideal lunch spot, take a walk through the array of eateries along The Beach complex, where you can stop in at Common Grounds for an avo toast or crack open some seafood at Aprons and Hammers.
For dinner, make a beeline for a panang curry at Rosa's Thai or if you want sky-high views and quality Chinese dishes, Mott 32 is the one for you.
Nightlife in JBR

JBR comes alive at night and there's plenty of places you can stop in for a sundowner, enjoy a mixed drink or dance until the early hours.
Once you're finished grooving at a Playa Pacha pool party, head upstairs in the FIVE LUXE hotel for a creative mixed-drink at Paradiso and some impressive views of Ain Dubai.
For a night brunch that will keep you full and get you on your feet, try the evening events at STK, or for some laid-back pints and a chance to catch the game, Goose Island is a great choice.
Fancy ending the night with a ride on a mechanical bull? Head over to Claw BBQ for some all-American fun.
Things to do in JBR

Number one on the Jumeirah Beach Residence to-do list — check out the beach. One of a few free beaches across the city, you can take your towel and get comfortable on the sand for no cost at all. Feeling adventurous? There's an inflatable obstacle course you can take on too.
For some fun indoor activities, get the kids buckled up for laser tag at Adventure Island or go problem-solving at TEPfactor.
Or if you're all about keeping in shape, be sure to squeeze in a visit to the recently-opened Wellfit fitness centre for a state-of-the-art workout and recovery session.
Transport in JBR

JBR isn't on the Dubai Metro line, however it is connected to it via the Dubai Tram.
There are a series of stations along JBR where you can hop on and you'll be at a metro station in no time at all.
As it's a popular area, there can be heavy traffic in this part of time, so plan ahead if you're travelling during peak hours.

Tonight's EuroMillions jackpot has soared to a jaw-dropping £201 million – and let's be honest, we've all daydreamed about how we'd blow it. So we've gone on a fantasy spree to map out the ultimate millionaire's lifestyle: a London pad fit for royalty, a vast American ranch, a chic French hideaway, and a gleaming luxury yacht to tie it all together. The best bit? Even after splurging on every last indulgence, you could still pocket more than £4.9 million a year in interest – all without lifting a finger. That's your fortune growing while you decide which set of keys to pick up next. £25 million Mayfair penthouse First stop is London's most exclusive postcodes. Think sweeping views over Hyde Park, a private cinema, and a lift that takes you straight from the car to your living room. Mayfair is where the old money and the new money meet - and there's a three-storey glass-walled penthouse, listed at £25m, that ticks every box. £7 million countryside estate in the Cotswolds When the city gets too much, hop in the Bentley and retreat to the rolling hills.

Popular C-beauty brand Joocyee opens its first international boutique in Singapore
C-beauty is having its moment right now, and Joocyee is staying on top of the game ahead of other popular brands like Flower Knows, Perfect Diary, Florasis and the like. While they've all received rave reviews from beauty junkies, Joocyee is the only one that has opened its first physical boutique in Singapore – mere months after entering the Singapore market online and in Watsons drugstores. The pretty-in-pink store located at Orchard Road is also the beauty brand's very first international one outside of China, which makes walking into this makeup paradise feel extra special. As the sister brand to Judydoll, another well-loved Chinese cosmetic brand, Joocyee has all the on-trend products that you need for a flawless full face glow-up – from its best-selling Glazed Rouge balm gloss lippies for a dewy shine; to its Multi-Purpose Cream which can be used as blush, eyeshadow, or lip colour; and its handy Jelly Highlighter Stick for an elegant shimmer. Almost everything is affordably priced in the $20 range, though larger eyeshadow palettes can cost close to $50. Head down and test them all before you commit to a purchase – you'll never have to worry about shade matching again. TIME OUT TIP When coming from Orchard MRT station, walk along the left side heading into Wisma Atria when the path forks. You'll miss the store if you walk on the right. Conversely, walk along the right side if you're coming via the Takashimaya underpass. Singapore's Joocyee boutique is located at Wisma Atria (B1-64/64A) and is open daily from 10am to 10pm. Stay updated on the brand's latest launches via Instagram.
