  • Tip

    From a Google review
  • Tip

    Post clear written instructions for security about resident requests—some guards may not be attentive to door signage.

    From a Google review
  • Tip

    Request a unit away from apartments with active leaks above; check water supply history before signing.

    From a Google review
  • Tip

    Get all defects documented and fixed before warranty expires—maintenance closes tickets without resolution.

    From a Google review
  • Tip

    Request a unit away from cooking areas if possible; sound insulation between floors is poor throughout the development.

    From a Google review
  • Tip

    Note that only 3-bedroom units have closed kitchens; 1 and 2-bedroom apartments have open kitchen layouts.

    From a Google review
  • Tip

    Look for main parking lot signs on arrival - they're not clearly marked for first-time visitors.

From Google Reviewers

Each card is a real, public Google review of this residence, sorted into our ten questions – answered only where the reviewer said something, and marked “Not answered” where they didn’t. Reviews written in other languages are shown in English and labelled. These come from Google, not from verified residents, so they count for only a small part of the HT Score, never as much as a real resident review.

“Harbour gate 1, is a disappointment with the finishing as walls are made of boards leaking from ceilings, weak broken tiles, easy damaged kitchen cabinets and door handles apart from continuous flying insects since 3 years. Unfortunately emaar don’t interfere to rectify such defects”

“Harbour gate 1, is the biggest disappointment. My tenant ran away from the building with his family and stuff without any action by security, when I asked management they refused to give any reply back.”

“I have mixed feelings about this building, as it has both positive and negative aspects. The positives: The management and security teams are excellent — responsive, professional, and supportive. Areas that need improvement: Maintenance requires serious attention. Currently, everything is handled reactively after an issue occurs, with no preventive maintenance in place. The biggest concern, however, is the overall quality of the building. The materials, workmanship, and finishing are among the poorest I have seen. Unfortunately, this does not reflect the high standards that Emaar was once known for. I live in a three-bedroom apartment with a maid’s room, and the construction quality is disappointing. The walls are gypsum/drywall — there are no concrete walls — and they have been installed poorly, resulting in visible cracks and uneven surfaces that cannot be properly repaired. The floor tiles are another major issue. Whoever installed them did a substandard job: there are air pockets under many tiles, the grout is either missing or cracked everywhere, and the overall appearance is far below acceptable quality, especially for a building that is only a few years old. Fire alarms going on daily which is annoying. Lastly, parking and driving behavior in the basement is problematic. Many tenants drive in the wrong direction or take shortcuts through one-way areas, creating serious safety risks. I would like to add that building and halls start to smell on garlic…”

“It’s the fire alarms and water stoppages and random noise in the building. It’s been a month and we should have listened to the reviews.”
