Al Barsha South 3

Al Barsha South 3 is a mid-scale residential sub-community within the broader Al Barsha South district, sitting between Al Barsha South 2 and Al Barsha South 4. It is primarily a villa and townhouse zone, popular with families who want suburban space without moving too far from central Dubai.

Location & connectivity

Al Barsha South 3 sits adjacent to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), giving direct access to both Dubai's northern and southern corridors. Mall of the Emirates is roughly a 12–15 minute drive west via Al Khail Road, and DIFC is around 20 minutes in light traffic. There is no metro station within walking distance — a car or ride-hail is the practical daily option here.

Property mix

The community is predominantly low-rise with a mix of independent villas, townhouse clusters, and some mid-rise apartment buildings along its main roads.

• •Villas: Standalone and semi-detached villas, typically 3–6 bedrooms on plot sizes 2,500–5,000 sq ft
• •Townhouses: Row townhouse clusters primarily targeting families
• •Apartments: Mid-rise residential buildings along the main arterials, generally 1–3 bedroom units

Schools

No major schools sit directly inside Al Barsha South 3, but several are within a short drive:

• •GEMS Metropole School, Motor City — approx. 10-min drive (UK curriculum)
• •Dubai British School, Jumeirah Park — approx. 12-min drive (UK curriculum)
• •Sunmarke School, Jumeirah Village Triangle — approx. 10-min drive (UK/IB curriculum)
• •GEMS Al Barsha National School — approx. 8-min drive (UAE National/MOE curriculum)

Healthcare

Dedicated hospitals are not located within the sub-community itself; the nearest options include:

• •Mediclinic Parkview Hospital, Al Barsha South — approx. 5-min drive
• •Saudi German Hospital, Al Barsha — approx. 10-min drive
• •Emirates Hospital Day Surgery, Motor City — approx. 10-min drive

Shopping & dining

Mall of the Emirates, with over 600 retail outlets and a Carrefour hypermarket, is the anchor shopping destination serving this area. City Centre Me'aisem in Dubai Production City is roughly 10 minutes away for everyday errands. Local dining is largely scattered along Al Barsha South's main roads — expect neighbourhood restaurants and casual cafés rather than a dedicated dining strip.

Parks & leisure

Al Barsha Pond Park is one of the larger green spaces close by, a 10–12 minute drive and popular for walking, cycling, and weekend picnics. Dubai Autodrome and the leisure facilities at Motor City are around 10 minutes away. The area itself has limited walkable green space within its boundaries — residents rely on nearby parks.

Things to consider

Al Barsha South 3 lacks a metro connection and a walkable retail or dining core, making car dependency a daily reality. Villa plots and community infrastructure are more established than some newer master-planned communities, but road congestion on E311 during peak hours is a known issue for commuters heading toward Downtown or Business Bay.
