Furnished Villas in Serena

About Serena

Serena is a residential community in Dubailand, next to Arabian Ranches and The Sustainable City, developed by Dubai Properties. It has three phases, Bella Casa, Casa Viva and Casa Dora, made up mostly of semi-detached villas and townhouses, with three bedrooms the most common, in a Mediterranean-inspired style with landscaped surroundings. Area guides describe it as family-oriented.

Everyday needs are handled close to home. Community centres have shops, cafes and restaurants, Serena Marketplace has a supermarket, and Carrefour is nearby in Arabian Ranches. There are communal parks, playgrounds, pools and walking and jogging trails. Area guides name Blossom Nursery Serena for toddlers, and schools such as GEMS Metropole School, GEMS Vertus School and Fairgreen International School in the surrounding area. Aster Clinic in a neighbouring community is the clinic named for healthcare. Visitors can reach IMG Worlds of Adventure, Miracle Garden and Global Village by car.

The community is reached from Emirates Road (E611) and Al Qudra Road (D63). Public transport is limited. One guide names bus F32 at the Al Salam Community Centre in Mudon as the nearest bus stop, and both guides say residents mostly rely on private cars.

The trade-offs are distance and the need for a car. Guides put Downtown Dubai at about 25 minutes by car and the Marina and Jumeirah beaches at about 30 minutes. If you want a spacious villa setting for a longer family stay and plan to drive, Serena fits well. If you prefer to walk or take the metro to restaurants and the beach, a central area will suit you better.
