When British neurodiversity expert Dani Hakim moved to Dubai’s Town Square in 2019, she was looking for a peaceful community to raise her two children. Today, she and her husband live in a three-bedroom townhouse they bought for Dh1.36 million, and she says it’s a perfect fit.

“It’s a calm neighbourhood and ideal for families,” Dani says. “We have a park, splash pad, kids’ play areas and outdoor sports facilities like basketball and football. The community is growing — there are new cafés and gyms opening, and it’s slowly becoming a place where you don’t have to leave the area for anything.”

Located along Al Qudra Road, Town Square is known for its family-friendly design, leafy pathways and relative quiet compared to Dubai’s bustling central districts. For Dani, who has lived in the UAE for 16 years, that distance from the city is part of the charm.

“It used to take up to 45 minutes to reach Jebel Ali School in the mornings,” Dani recalls. “But since RTA opened the new exit, it’s only about 12 minutes.”

In May, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) unveiled a new exit connecting Town Square to E611, easing congestion along Al Qudra Road and improving access for nearby communities, including Mira.

For Marcella K, a Slovak expat who has lived in Town Square for the past three years, the neighbourhood’s peaceful atmosphere is one of its biggest draws. “I’ve found a great community here,” she says with a smile. “We know our neighbours, and everyone is always there to help when someone needs it.”
