The community provides residents with convenient public infrastructure. Complexes have their own fitness centres, swimming pools, parks, playgrounds and sports areas. Some clusters are pet-friendly. There are places for walking with animals, veterinary clinics, specialty shops and grooming salons. Gated complexes ensure the safety of residents, as such communities are under security and video surveillance.

Foreigners have the right to buy a villa in Dubai in full ownership in the freehold areas of the UAE. Owners in such zones are allowed to rent out their overseas property, renovate, change its layout, resell, and gift it.

Reasons for investing in a house in Dubai

The city is a sought-after destination for foreigners who wish to stay in this eastern state for permanent residence. About 140,000 people move to the UAE every year, as it offers high-paying jobs in large international and local companies, advantages for starting and running a business, and a loyal visa policy. The UAE attracts with its warm climate, developed infrastructure, resorts and entertainment for people of all ages.

Investors can rent out their properties to expats for a long time, and short-term real estate rentals are popular with tourists who choose the emirate to have rest. Families with children come here to find more spacious properties with additional areas to play games and communicate.

The emirate recorded a 4–13% increase in rents in 2023. The average return on investment is 5–8%, but there are areas where this figure reaches almost 10%.

The city’s annual rental price varies as follows:

• from AED 43,000 ($11,500) to 210,000 ($57,000) per 1-bedroom villa for sale in Dubai;
• from AED 60,000 ($16,500) to 600,000 ($163,500) per 2-bedroom apartment;

Investors can acquire new off-plan houses. This purchase will cost less than buying a villa in Dubai fully commissioned. The price may increase by 10–30% from the initial digging phase to the completion stage. The government protects off-plan real estate buyers: only developers who have been thoroughly checked by the Dubai Land Department work in the market. The money does not go directly to construction companies, but to escrow accounts.

Reselling a property in Dubai is a profitable investment strategy, as housing is constantly becoming more expensive. Finished villas increased in price by 22% in 2023, and those under construction by 17%. House prices in Dubai grew by 9% in February 2024 compared to the same month last year.
