## Arjan at a glance

An apartment district in Dubailand at the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Rd (E311) / Umm Suqeim Rd (D63) junction. Arjan is best known for housing the Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Butterfly Garden; its own retail scene is still mostly baqalas, a Lifco/Blue Mart, and one nearby mall (My City Centre Al Barsha). It has a significant amount of active development underway (ongoing tower projects from developers including Danube, Samana and Binghatti), and no metro station serves it directly.

## Who it suits

- Yield-focused investors - gross rental yields reported around 7-8% (yallavalue transaction data), before service charges, agency/DLD fees and vacancy are deducted
- First-time buyers and budget-conscious owner-occupiers seeking affordable freehold apartments
- Car owners - public transport is limited and there is no metro station in the community

## Homes and prices

Overwhelmingly apartments (studio to 3-bedroom) in low-to-mid-rise towers, including some serviced/furnished units and small ground-floor retail/office podiums. a Dubai property portal's area guide notes a limited number of villas also exist in the community; no townhouses are reported. Limited land/plot and penthouse stock.

Asking prices per PropertyFinder live listings (reviewed 2026-07-29): studio ~AED 600k-700k (PF average AED 602k); 1BR typical AED 1.15M-1.37M, range AED 860k-1.5M (yallavalue 12-month transaction data: ~AED 1.0M-1.2M); 2BR typical AED 1.65M-2.3M, range AED 1.55M-2.5M; 3BR average ~AED 2.3M (this is PropertyFinder's average sale price, not a range ceiling - no reliable 3BR range is available). Price per sqft ~AED 1,330-1,360, corroborated independently by yallavalue's 12-month transaction data (~AED 1,333/sqft to Jul 2026). Rent (PropertyFinder averages): studio ~AED 53k/yr, 1BR ~AED 80k/yr (range AED 48k-100k), 2BR ~AED 115k/yr (range AED 96k-129k), 3BR ~AED 170k/yr. Gross rental yields reported at ~7-8% (yallavalue, 12-month transaction data to Jul 2026) - gross only, before service charges, agency/DLD fees and vacancy; not a forecast of net return. Provenance: PropertyFinder live listings and area-insights averages reviewed 2026-07-29; the per-sqft and transaction-based bands and the yield come from yallavalue's 12-month transaction data through Jul 2026. (as of 2026-07.)

**Ownership:** Sold and registered as freehold, open to buyers of all nationalities with full title deed. Not named in Regulation No. (3) of 2006, the original designated-areas list, so any designation here comes from a later decree and could not be traced to a specific instrument in this review. This is a community-level position only; individual plot or project title should be confirmed on the DLD title deed before any offer, and freehold ownership does not itself grant UAE residency. Confirm the tenure of the specific plot or unit on its title deed or via the DLD Property Status Enquiry (Dubai REST) before any offer.

## Getting around

No metro station serves Arjan directly. The nearest is Dubai Internet City metro station (Red Line), reported as roughly a 12-minute drive (a Dubai property portal); RTA buses stop near Geepas Tower and DAMAC Westside. Sits at the E311/D63 junction; drive times to Downtown Dubai/DIFC and Dubai Marina are commonly estimated at 20-25 minutes off-peak, but this estimate is not independently sourced and should be confirmed locally before quoting to a buyer.

## Lifestyle

Day-to-day retail is neighbourhood-scale: Lifco Supermarket, Blue Mart, local baqalas, and Arjan Mosque, with My City Centre Al Barsha the nearest proper mall. Casual F&B (Zest, Grill Master, Desert Wok, Shakespeare and Co.) and gyms (FitBox Gym, Gym Nation) serve residents day to day.
