About Old Town Island
Old Town Island is the 26-hectare low-rise heart of Downtown, where buildings such as Attareen, Al Bahar and Al Tajer frame courtyards and lakefront walks beside Souk Al Bahar.
Homes span one to three bedrooms from around 840 to 3,280 sq ft; pricing is resale-only and varies widely by building and Fountain exposure.
Unveiled in 2005, the island has been completed for well over a decade.
