DAMAC Riverside is a lavish waterfront community at Dubai Investment Park, Dubai. It is a villa-exclusive gated community but the next phase offers luxury apartments under DAMAC Riverside Views. Both offer excellent accommodation opportunities in a community that abounds in world-class amenities for wonderful living experiences.
As per the popular architectural description, a townhouse is a house that shares at least one wall with the home standing adjacent to it. There is a row of several townhouses marking the edge of a street. Externally, all the townhouses appear to be the same in terms of its architectural styling and design.
The residents get the vibe of being in their own houses, which is far better than staying in an apartment according to many people’s opinion. One feels they have their own house entirely exclusive to them with greater freedom of space and privacy. Except for the fact that they need to share their walls on both sides of the home, it is indeed a great choice for those who cannot afford to live in villas.
Townhouse communities generally feature shared amenities like playgrounds, swimming pools, communal gardens or gyms. In Dubai, the shared amenities are far greater in number guaranteeing “larger than life” experiences, everyday.
Townhouses can range from two-storeys to multiple storeys. At Riverside by DAMAC, you get 4 to 5 Bedroom townhouses that can go up to 2-3 storeys. DAMAC Riverside townhouses come in spacious layouts, with 2,297 square feet sized 4-bedroom units and 5-bedroom units reaching up to 3,407 square feet.
The 4-bedroom townhouse layout will include storage space, laundry room, balcony and garages besides the usual master bedroom, secondary bedrooms, kitchens and washrooms. For the 5-bedroom units you will get a terrace and maid’s room in addition to everything we mentioned about the 4-bedroom units.
DAMAC Sage, DAMAC Lush, DAMAC Ivy are three exclusive collections of lavish European-styled 4 & 5 Bedroom Townhouses at DAMAC Riverside Dubai
It is a self-sufficient residential unit containing all the essential rooms and spaces, available in a house, generally set up on a single floor of a multi-storeyed building. It is a more compact form of accommodation choice one has. There can be several apartments on the same floor of the building. Suppose, the building has 5 floors. There can be 3-4 or even more apartments (compact residential units with all rooms and spaces) carved out from the available floor area on each floor. This way a single building can accommodate 15-20 apartments. The size and space layout decides how many apartments the builder can plan on each floor.
A set of rooms including kitchen, bathroom and terrace/balcony with the main door ensuring privacy is designed on one floor. Duplex apartments can be engineered spanning over two floors that can be accessed within the apartments via a staircase joining the two floors.
Damac Riverside Apartments can range from larger units with multiple bedrooms to small studios. They can be found in low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise buildings. In Dubai, it is the stunning skyscrapers that nestles the luxury apartments that can surpass the concept of luxury living in many other major cities globally.
Apartment Community or Complex contains multiple buildings, each in turn containing multiple apartments as mentioned already.
DAMAC Riverside View and DAMAC Riverside Apartment are the latest phase of the original DAMAC Riverside townhouse-only community. In this phase, we saw DAMAC Properties adding apartments to what they previously launched as a townhouse-exclusive community as an extension. The townhouse portion will have only townhouses. The new designated area within the community will have apartments lying far from the area where townhouses are. Shared communal amenities both the townhouse and apartment residents can indulge in.
A range of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments are being setup within the community. It was launched recently in January 2025. Investors and homebuyers both are showing good interest in it.
There is not much necessity to dig deeper to understand the comparative analysis of DAMAC Riverside Townhouses and Apartments. It is very simple and straightforward unless we wish to make it appear dramatic!
Townhouses are a more lavish accommodation choice one has at DAMAC Riverside location or anywhere. It gives you the feeling of owning a house of your own. Apartments are like sophisticatedly built matchboxes (pardon us if it hurts you!) that come with all amenities and essential rooms that make a house feel home. Both are wonderful accommodation in urban areas and the ever-evolving desert city of Dubai.
Apartments in skyscrapers (which is the common scenario marking Dubai’s skyline) gives a “I’m on the top of the world” feel and fulfills anyone’s “my dream is to fly..over the rainbow so high” fantasy. Townhouses, at the most, rise to three-storeys and we know that you can understand to what extent you can feel “I touch the sky.. but my knee hits the ground”!
DAMAC Townhouses come with a more extensive range of high-end amenities than apartments would have.
Comparative analysis of DAMAC Apartments and Townhouses will be incomplete without focusing the light on the cost factor. So, here we go:
You know the price and payment plan along with handover date differences. Also, now, you know what amenities are there for which townhouse project and apartment project. The kind-of-feeling while living in an apartment and townhouse also we clarified here, though it depends on people’s perception as well. So, you now decide which one would fit your preference and budget mostly.
