Finding a Reasonable Apartment

Nothing is really reasonable here...it's all crazy expensive, but the good thing is, it all seems to even out somehow.  Thank goodness!  But for finding a place, it can really be a fun journey because everything here revolves around the newest and most luxurious.  

However, this was the list of credentials Joey and I had for a place:

2 Bedroom
Nice View (maybe a balcony)
Gym/Pool
Parking
Appliances a perk

And I think they were in exactly this order!  Haha, we're easy enough!  Our realtor Terri, who we met after moving here through our friend Diane, was just phenomenal at finding our perfect place!  She brought us into the luxurious, but "reasonable for us" world of Abu Dhabi.  And what a beautiful and imaginative world it is!  After a day of hunting, here's where we'll HOPEFULLY be living come December:


"After several years of planning and design, 2006 was a special year for His Highness Sheikh Suroor Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan and his Projects Department, for this was when construction work got underway. His Highness can be proud of succeeding in creating a very inspirational, prestigious and desirable landmark in the UAE. The scope, magnitude and uniqueness is breathtaking.

The Australian architects DBI Design have created a sculptural feat that is a true landmark of the City. Changing the Abu Dhabi skyline forever the towers offer the most amazing vantage points - with sweeping panoramic views over the vibrant city and Arabian Sea."



Now, it doesn't look EXACTLY like the picture because the water doesn't come that close...and the towers are more of the same size and in a circular formation...but yeah, this is it.  Doesn't it remind you of a star trek space ship?? 


See, I bet now you'll want to come visit!!
