About Kensington Waters A

Kensington Waters A is a residential tower within the Sobha Hartland enclave of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, a master-planned district just east of Downtown Dubai. The building forms part of a contemporary, low- to mid-rise complex set amid landscaped streets and new community facilities, offering a modern urban address close to the city’s core. Homes in Kensington Waters A are apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom layouts. Units typically feature open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling glazing, balconies, and fitted kitchens, with design focused on light, clean finishes and efficient use of space. The building is newly completed and presents a consistent, high-quality specification across common areas and residences. Lifestyle amenities are a key draw. Residents have access to a resort-style swimming pool with separate children’s pool, a well-equipped fitness centre, indoor kids’ play space, BBQ areas and shaded seating. The tower provides 24-hour security, high-speed lifts and covered parking. Practical touches such as EV charging provisions and a bicycle workshop/studio are part of the complex, reflecting the community’s focus on active living. Day-to-day needs are met by nearby mini-marts and supermarkets, with additional retail and dining within a short drive. Education options in the immediate area include a nursery and an established international school within a few minutes by car. Connectivity is straightforward. The community links to Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Al Ain Road (E66), placing Downtown Dubai and The Dubai Mall roughly 15 minutes away by car, with Business Bay and DIFC also within easy reach, traffic permitting. For public transport, residents can use local bus services in Sobha Hartland, while the nearest metro stations on the Red Line are around a 15-minute drive. Dubai International Airport is typically reachable in under 20 minutes. Overall, Kensington Waters A suits residents seeking a new-build apartment environment with comprehensive on-site facilities, family-friendly features and quick access to central Dubai, without the density of the city’s highest-rise districts.
