Dubai apartments
0 apartments from - to -, all RERA-verified and scored on 6 risk dimensions using DLD data.
Dubai apartments combine entry-level pricing with a working freehold market. The community currently lists 0 live projects, with prices starting at - and topping out at -. Liquidity is established through a steady DLD transaction record, so resale exits clear within market norms.Demand comes primarily from end-users in the 1-2 bedroom segment plus buy-to-let investors targeting Dubai's 5-7% net yield band.
Apartment yields in Dubai sit within the 5-7% gross band typical for mid-tier Dubai communities, with net yield 1 to 1.5 percentage points lower after service charges and a 7% vacancy assumption. Capital appreciation tracks the broader Dubai market, with prime + mid-tier communities posting 8-15% annual gains in 2024-2025.Service charges on apartments in this band run AED 12 to 25 per square foot per year. Always check the developer-published service charge ledger before underwriting yield.
Ranked by Oliva Score, which compresses developer reliability, location quality, value-per-sqft, yield outlook, handover risk, resale liquidity, and market timing into a single 0-100 number.
Dubai apartments typically come in 1, 2, and 3-bedroom configurations, with built-up areas ranging 750 to 1,800 square feet. All new builds in Dubai are freehold, meaning non-residents can hold title and re-sell without restriction. Service charges run AED 12-25 per square foot per year and cover maintenance, water, electricity subsidies, and common-area management. Before signing, confirm the developer's service charge track record, current balance, and any planned major works. Transport links matter for resale appeal: buses, metro proximity, and road access to Sheikh Zayed Road or the airport directly affect buyer perception and rental demand. Schools nearby (Tier 1 like JESS, DBA, and affordable options like Al Khaleej) shape the family-buyer profile and occupancy confidence. Ask the agent for the community's daycare and clinic availability too. Check recent DLD transaction history in the building you are considering to gauge liquidity: properties that trade hands 2-3 times annually signal a working resale market, while those sitting listed for 90+ days may indicate overpricing or structural issues.
The Oliva Score on each project card folds together the developer's rolling on-time-delivery rate from DLD trustee filings, the value-per-square-foot against comparable launches in the same area, the rental-yield outlook under the current Ejari multiples, and three additional risk dimensions: market saturation (units per capita), payment-plan structure (down payments, milestone timing), and escrow-account compliance (whether deposits are held with a regulated trustee). A project scoring 65 or higher suggests above-market fundamentals on multiple vectors simultaneously. Scoring below 50 usually signals either overpricing relative to peer deliveries, delayed delivery history, or both. Lower scores do not mean a property is unsafe; RERA escrow protects all deposits regardless of score. They mean the risk-adjusted upside leans toward conservation rather than capital appreciation at the current asking price.
Apartments priced AED 2 million or above qualify the buyer (plus spouse and children) for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa under the property-investment route. The 2-year investor visa requires AED 750,000 minimum (sole owner) or AED 400,000 per investor for joint purchases. Off-plan qualifies for the Golden Visa once 50% has been paid to the developer, verified via DLD Oqood and the escrow trustee statement. Dubai apartments top out at -, below the Golden Visa threshold. Buyers seeking the 10-year visa should look at the larger 3+ bedroom units or shift to a higher-tier community.
Oliva does not accept paid placements from developers. The list below is ranked by Oliva Score, which uses public DLD project trustee filings, developer rolling on-time-delivery records, area-level Ejari data, and live RERA registration status. Projects whose developer scores below 60% on-time delivery are flagged in red on the project detail page. Cancellations are rare (RERA escrow protects deposits) but the recovery period can run 90+ days, so we flag developer cancellation history too. RERA BRN 1573501.
