Living in DIFC is a statement and a commute hack. You walk to work. You pay Downtown-plus. Restaurants are excellent and not cafeteria prices.
Most people who ‘work in DIFC’ live in Business Bay, JLT or Downtown and walk or metro in. That is the rational version.
Service charges. Parking if you insist on a car you will not use.
