ABOUT THE PULSE
The Pulse is a mixed-use residential community within the Residential District of Dubai South, offering a family-oriented lifestyle supported by parks, sports facilities, retail outlets, schools and community services. The neighbourhood is organised around a broad six-lane boulevard and combines apartments, townhouses and villas.
