Most people living there are lower class workers from Asia. Some places even have their own red light district. Some places are classy as you would expect in other parts of town.
After living in Al ghusais or quasis it would be a neigbourhood I would not live if I was a single woman. Than again DXB changes quickly and so might Al ghusais. No such thing as a reliable real estate agent in Dubai to my knowledge.
