Living in Al Khalidiyah — 60-second summary
Al Khalidiyah is a central Abu Dhabi neighbourhood on Abu Dhabi Island, known for its established residential streets, dense apartment supply and easy access to the Corniche and city amenities. It’s typically chosen by residents who want to live in town with straightforward commutes, plenty of retail and dining options nearby, and a wide selection of older and mid-age buildings. The housing mix is mainly apartments, with some villa pockets and a strong presence of everyday services like supermarkets, cafés and malls such as Khalidiyah Mall. Because stock is varied, buyers should focus on building-specific due diligence: parking allocation, maintenance quality, service charges and noise exposure can differ sharply even on the same street. For renters, the area offers convenient city living; for investors, it can perform well when you choose buildings with solid management and realistic service costs.
