Is the cost of living in Palm Jumeirah high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Palm Jumeirah, they wrote:

"Living in Palm Jumeirah is considered to be quite expensive. The cost of housing is high, with luxury villas and apartments being the norm in this area. Renting a property can be costly, and buying a home here is a significant investment. In addition to housing, other living costs are also high. Dining out at restaurants, especially at high-end establishments, can be pricey. Groceries and other household items are also more expensive than in other parts of the UAE, due to the upscale nature of the area. Transportation costs can also add up, especially if one chooses to use taxis or private cars frequently. While public transportation is available, it is not as widely used as in other cities. Healthcare is another significant expense, with high-quality medical facilities available in the area. However, these services come at a premium price. Education costs are also high, especially for families with children attending private international schools. These schools offer high-quality education but at a significant cost. Despite the high cost of living, many residents feel that the lifestyle and amenities offered in Palm Jumeirah make it worth the expense. The area is known for its beautiful beaches, luxury hotels, and high-end shopping and dining options. It also offers a safe and secure environment, with top-notch security and maintenance services. In conclusion, while the cost of living in Palm Jumeirah is high, it offers a luxurious lifestyle that many residents find appealing," wrote a person living in Palm Jumeirah.
