Lincoln Park B, Arjan
Six storeys is a modest height even by Arjan standards, and Lincoln Park B keeps to it. DAMAC Properties developed the building. It belongs to the low to mid-rise group that makes up most of the district. A block this size puts fewer neighbours on each landing than a thirty-storey tower does. Most buildings in Arjan also come with one allocated parking space per apartment, which suits you if you are arriving by car.
Lincoln Park B suits you if you want a quieter, lower-cost base than the coast and are happy to drive or take taxis. Arjan has a calm residential feel, with Miracle Garden close by and Dubai Hills and Sports City within a short drive. It suits you less if you want a lively street outside the front door, because the main restaurants and cafes are a short trip away.

- Frequently Asked Questions
The play area, the front desk and the gym
With children, the play area inside the building is the first thing to look for, because nobody crosses a road to reach it. A residents' lounge or function room gives the evening a second indoor space. That helps in July, when the heat keeps everyone off the terrace, and it gives a family of four somewhere to sit that is not the sofa. Beyond the gate, Arjan has small playgrounds, basketball and football courts and open grassy areas for families.
Security and CCTV cover the building, and parking is reserved for residents, so a hired car has a safe place for the week. Maintenance services are provided at the building as well. Over a weekend that hardly matters, but over a month a dripping tap or a stiff door is the kind of thing that decides whether a stay runs smoothly. With a security desk behind the front entrance and a reserved bay for the car, the building also answers the first questions a late arrival asks.
The building has its own gym, so an early workout needs no taxi and no weather check. If you prefer a class, F45 sits 0.12 km from the building, close enough to walk in gym kit. Later in the day the swimming pool takes over. Swimming fills the slow hour after work.
Studio, one bedroom or two for a longer stay
Three layouts. Across Arjan, homes run from studios to three-bedroom apartments of roughly 400 to 1,500 square feet, so a studio or one-bedroom here sits at the compact end of that range. A studio fits a solo traveller on a work trip, with the gym downstairs standing in for an office break. A one-bedroom gives a couple a door to close. The two-bedroom suits a small family or two friends who want separate rooms, and it is the one to pick for a stay of several weeks, when a second room stops everyone tripping over each other.
The road in from Dubai International
Dubai International (DXB) is 34.7 km from the building, about 34 minutes by road without traffic, and a taxi from arrivals is a single leg into Arjan that ends at the front door, so a hired car can wait until you plan day trips.
Arjan sits at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Street (D63), the two roads that frame the district. Traffic builds at peak hours. That is the price of a district served mostly by car. A dinner across town goes better in an off-peak slot, so the evening plan is worth a glance at the clock before you book a table.
There is no metro station inside Arjan. Al Furjan Metro Station is the closest Red Line stop named for the community, reached by road. RTA bus F36 runs from inside Arjan to Mall of the Emirates Bus Station, but bus stops are few. It suits you less if you plan to live without a car or a taxi app.
Dinner on Vincitore Boulevard
The Promenade on Vincitore Boulevard is a retail strip. Cafes and restaurants line it at street level, with Via Delhi and Thai Samai on the boulevard and Goodies and Cafe Barbera at The Promenade itself, so dinner is a short drive or a delivery order from any of them.
Arjan was inaugurated in 2006 as part of the Dubailand master community. Damac Northside and Divine Living are two other Arjan buildings with guides on this site. Either gives you a comparison point if Lincoln Park B does not fit your dates.
Slow mornings and shopping afternoons
Noodle House, Khaana Badosh, Bao Kitchen and Drip Burgers are restaurants listed for Arjan, with Tim Hortons and House of Monte Cristo as the cafes. A slow first morning is easy to arrange, because the coffee is a short trip rather than a long one, and Tim Hortons is the familiar stop.
For a shopping afternoon you leave the district. First Avenue Mall in Motor City, Circle Mall in JVC, City Centre Me'aisem and Dubai Hills Mall all lie outside the district, as does Galleria Mall Al Barsha.
If you own here
Parking in Arjan is tight, and some owners pay for an annual parking permit on top of the space that comes with the unit. Royale Stays manages homes for owners from a management fee of 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communication and maintenance. Our guide to Arjan for owners sets out the permit steps. For the full picture, read what the Royale Stays management service covers.
Milk, bread and the weekly shop
For a month, the routine decides how a place feels. Nesto, 0.2 km from the building, covers milk, bread and everything else the first evening needs. 800 Pharmacy sits just 0.13 km from the front door, so a headache or a sunburn is a short errand. If a cold turns into an appointment, Life Aid Home Health Care Dubai is the clinic in range.
Retail units sit on site, which is handy for small errands. The big weekly shop is a drive. Arjan has little supermarket and retail choice compared with its neighbours, so larger shops mean a trip to a nearby community. Carrefour, Grandiose, Nesto and Viva are the supermarket brands named for the district.
Gardens and a cartoon village on the doorstep
Dubai Miracle Garden is 0.67 km from the building, close enough for a short evening trip. It closes after May. It reopens in October. Dubai Butterfly Garden stays open all year, with its butterflies kept in climate-controlled domes, which makes it the summer option.
Smurf Village is an easy first outing for children, 0.63 km from the building. The Butterfly Garden holds two domes of butterflies from over 50 species, and a visit takes about two to three hours.
Schools, clinics and a hospital further out
Australian International School Dubai sits 0.59 km from the building, a school run you could walk. Nord Anglia International School Dubai follows the IB curriculum, and Safa Community School follows a UK curriculum. A family weighing a longer stay has several curricula to compare.
Arjan has no major hospital inside it, and Mediclinic Parkview Hospital is the one most often named for the area. Book that into the plan if a small child or an older relative is travelling with you.
