What each area is like
Al Furjan
A Nakheel community between Sheikh Zayed Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, with villas, townhouses and low- to mid-rise apartments, its own metro station and a busy pipeline of new apartment buildings.
Who it suits
- Families wanting villas or townhouses with metro access
- Investors buying mid-priced apartments to let
- Commuters to Expo City and Jebel Ali
- Buyers priced out of Dubai Marina
In its favour
- Al Furjan station on the Route 2020 metro line, with a direct link to Expo City Dubai
- Between Sheikh Zayed Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road
- About 20 minutes by car to Al Maktoum International Airport (Bayut)
Worth weighing
- Heavy new supply: Property Finder listed 78 new and off-plan projects in November 2026, so new buildings compete for the same tenants
- Parts of the community are still under construction, as Bayut's guide notes
Jumeirah Golf Estates
Gated golf community on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road with two championship courses and its own metro station, now being extended by Wasl with a large second phase.
Who it suits
- Golfers and families wanting a gated villa estate
- Buyers with budgets above AED 5 million
- Owner-occupiers planning a long hold
- Buyers who want a villa near a metro station
In its favour
- Two championship courses: Earth, host of the DP World Tour Championship, and Fire
- Gated estate with mature landscaping and a completed first phase to inspect
- Own station on the Route 2020 metro line
Worth weighing
- The Next Chapter plans 12,345 new residences, more than 10,000 of them apartments: the low-density character of the original estate will change and construction will continue for years
- Few shops or restaurants inside the gates; the nearest mall is about 15 minutes away
