Tecom / Barsha Heights is stacked apartments above and beside free-zone offices. Restaurants in the podiums. A reasonable walk or hop to DIC metro.

Popular with people who work Internet / Media / Knowledge Park. Night-time is quieter than Marina, louder than Hills.

Some buildings are almost entirely offices. Check the residential entrance.
