A quiet, low-density suburban district on the edge of the city, known for its farms, parks, and traditional charm. It’s more local in character, but has become popular with expats seeking space and a slower pace. Great for those wanting a rural-meets-modern lifestyle.
Formerly called Tecom, this is a dense, mixed-use district with a buzzing atmosphere and lots of high-rise buildings. It’s a blend of residential and business, with easy Metro access and 24/7 activity. It’s more suited to young professionals than families.
