Arjan is a new residential neighbourhood which offers a tranquil environment for individuals and families who want to live in peaceful environment. Moreover, it presents has an investment opportunity with an impressive annual return on investment ranging from 5% to 6%.
First launched in 2006 by Dubai Properties as part of the wide‑scale Dubailand “megacity,” Arjan is a planned freehold mixed-use development dotted with residential towers, commercial spaces, and retail outlets.
More friendlier and community-focused, Arjan is built without straying too far from the city with a nice balance between affordability, convenience, and lifestyle.
Found between Al Barsha South and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), with a junction at Umm Suqeim Road (D63). As of 2020, there were 48 completed buildings and about 37 more under development — indicating rapid growth. Analysts forecast at least 15–20% capital appreciation over the next 2–3 years as infrastructure and off‑plan developments in Arjan mature.
Arjan has well-paved internal streets, many of which are still being expanded or upgraded. Road signage and traffic management are steadily improving as more buildings and infrastructure are completed. Although at the outskirts of Dubai close to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), Arjan values community spirit and a leafy environment.
The neighborhood has low to mid-rise apartment buildings, forming a quieter, more peaceful environment compared to high‑density areas.
Sub-communities include Lincoln Park, Green Diamond, Vincitore Palacio, Siraj Tower, and Platinum One — all offering a mix of studio, 1‑ and 2‑bedroom units.
Arjan enjoys strong interest from investors due to its freehold status, making it appealing for expats looking to buy property outright.
Rental yields are attractive—gross returns around 12% have been reported for certain properties, greatly supported by demand from newer arrivals to Dubai. Though capital appreciation may be constrained by aging infrastructure and growing competition from new developments, investors report that older units in buildings like DAMAC Lincoln yield 7–8% return on investment.
Compared to other Dubai communities, it offers affordable entry prices: studios from around AED 420,000 and one-bedroom apartments averaging AED 560,000 in off-plan or resale markets (as of early 2025). Long-term gains are supported by a spike in off-plan launches in line with Dubai's 2040 urban plan.
With a starting price of AED 550,000 to AED 770,000 and a delivery date of Q1 2025, this project provides studios and 1–2 bedroom apartments. The developer selected exquisite facades, arches, and stucco elements in their building, which was influenced by European architecture. Due to its proximity to Dubai Miracle Garden and Butterfly Garden, it is a popular destination for tourists and short-term rentals.
The project Floarea Grande brings together a premium collection of multi-bedroom apartments with studios, 1–3 bedroom units launching around AED 670,000– AED 1,150,000. The expected handover is Q4 2026 with a flexible 50/50 payment plan that helps manage cash flow.
Beginning at AED 860,000 to AED 900,000, the high-end Arbor View project offers a range of studios to three-bedroom apartments (451 to 1,761 sq. ft.), with handover scheduled for Q1–Q2 2026. A total of 171 units with luxurious finishes and lots of green space promise luxurious living.
This low-rise luxury project named Avelon Boulevard is a 6-story development with a collection of studios and 2-bedroom units priced from AED 650,000. The handover has been tentatively scheduled for Q4 2026 or later.
Scheduled for December 2025, Elano by ORO24 brings together a collection of budget-friendly studios and 1‑bedroom spanning between 368 to 1045 sq. ft. units starting from AED 530,000.
Property values are expected to rise in the upcoming years as a result of Arjan’s ongoing development, which includes significant infrastructural upgrades including new road connections and metro stations.
Recent Project Initiatives and Developments
There is a steady stream of new mixed-use and residential developments. A growing number of low-rise apartment buildings, high-rise towers, and villas or townhouses are being constructed in the area. As a result, purchasers may now choose from a wider variety of property types and more competitive prices.
Community-focused settings with convenient access to all the essentials for everyday life are prioritized in properties including Blue Diamond, DAMAC Hills 2 (formerly Akoya Oxygen), The Wings by Manazel, and Azizi Riviera. As the neighborhood grows, these developments have also shown a great potential for capital appreciation.

Steady Climb in Real Estate Prices
Over the past few years, property values have been drifting somewhat upward because of its outstanding position and continuous development. Demand for affordable housing has led to price increases in some areas of Arjan, particularly those close to main roads and transportation centers.
Price growth has historically ranged from 5% to 10% annually, though there may be variances depending on the specific development and project's stage of completion.
Demand for Affordable Housing
When compared to more expensive areas of Dubai like Downtown or Palm Jumeirah, Arjan has gained popularity for providing more reasonably priced housing options. As more people look for less expensive options, Arjan is starting to look favorable for investors and first-time homebuyers.
Developers target professionals with middle-class incomes, so townhouses and apartments are fixed for comparatively lower prices.
Arjan is seeing a rise in family-friendly properties, particularly with townhouses and small villas available for rent. The demand for these types of properties has been increasing as families seek affordable housing options with more space.
Families with children or those looking for extra privacy are likely to choose townhouses or larger apartments in the area.
Arjan’s high rental yield in comparison to other Dubai neighborhoods is one of its main draws. This is mostly because of its affordability; yields of 7–9% are normal for apartments and villas. Professionals, small families, and foreigners seeking more affordable housing options near commercial centers have shown a particular interest in the district.
The rental market is also benefiting from the increasing number of commercial and retail spaces in the district. This is further strengthening Arjan as a vibrant community for both residential and business needs.
The majority of rental demand in Arjan has been for 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, with these units preferring singles, couples, and smaller families.
An average 1-bedroom apartment in Arjan rents for around AED 30,000 to AED 45,000 annually, and 2-bedroom units range from AED 45,000 to AED 65,000 annually, depending on the location, amenities, and size.
At a completed premium development such as Curve by Sentro, a 1-bedroom apartment unit costs around AED 1,300,000, while a 2-bedroom unit is close to AED 2,000,000, with a return on investment of 6.7 to 7%.
Overall Dubai prices surged 75% between Feb 2021 and early 2025, hitting around AED 1,750/sq.ft., nearly reaching pre‑2008 highs. However, ratings agency Fitch predicts up to 15% price decline across Dubai in H2 2025–2026 due to oversupply, including delivery of 210,000 new units; this could exert downward pressure on sub‑markets like Arjan depending on absorption rates.
According to recent data, median prices fell by 0.5% to 0.6% in January 2025, but demand and long-term fundamentals are still strong.
Dubai Miracle Garden
In 2013, the Dubai Miracle Garden made its debut. It debuted on February 14, 2013, Valentine's Day, which is indicative of a romantic garden full of flowers.
More than 150 million flowers are arranged in the garden in intricate patterns, shapes, and constructions. According to reports, the busiest months are November through May, and the summer months are closed because of the intense heat in the desert.
Thematic displays of the flowers include flower castles, heart-shaped walkways, flower creatures, and flower structures that rotate. Using recycled wastewater for drip irrigation helps save water for the plants’s sustenance.
