Athlon by Aldar

About Athlon by Aldar

Aldar calls it Dubai’s first active-living community: homes linked by a nature loop, a bike loop and a park loop, with no resident more than five minutes from an activity. The first two phases sold out within 48 hours for AED 4.1 billion.

My take

• Suits: Active families: the community is built around walking and cycling loops.
• What I'd check: Aldar sold out the first two phases in 48 hours, so much of what is on offer is resale. Sales sources quote different payment plans; get yours from Aldar’s offer.

What's there

• Nature, bike and park loops
• XL pool and splash pad
• Padel, squash and basketball courts
• Rock climbing and a skate park
• Outdoor cinema and yoga room
