Looking for a 1bed property investment in Dubai

Looking for some opinions from investors who have bought in Dubai recently.

I’m considering purchasing a ready 1-bedroom apartment with a budget of around AED 800k and would be using a mortgage. I’m not focused only on brand-new buildings. In some cases, I’d rather buy in an older community if there is a strong case for future growth through infrastructure improvements, new transport links, population growth, or major developments nearby.

At the moment I’m looking at areas such as Silicon Oasis, Arjan, Dubai South and DLRC, but I’m open to other suggestions. My goal is long-term investment, so I’m interested in both rental demand and potential capital appreciation over the next 5-10 years.

If you’ve bought recently or are following a particular community closely, I’d appreciate hearing which areas or buildings you think still offer good value today and why.
