Kensington Gardens
A low-rise LEOS community of three- to five-bedroom townhouses and six- and seven-bedroom villas inside Nakheel's Greenwood. Townhouses from AED 3.2 million and villas from AED 6.9 million, due in late 2027.
What works
- Townhouses from AED 3.2 million with maid's quarters and outdoor space
- Energy-saving specification, including solar water heating and rainwater harvesting
- Set within a Nakheel master community planned around parks and lagoons
What to weigh
- Greenwood is at an early stage; its facilities are planned rather than open
- No resale or rental history in the community yet
- Payment plan and most per-type prices come from Property Finder, not LEOS
LEOS Royal
A LEOS community of townhouses and villas on Al Ain Road in Umm Al Daman, opposite Dubai Outlet Mall. Townhouses from AED 3.61 million, with handover given as Q4 2028.
What works
- Townhouses with a maid's room from AED 3.61 million, under half the AED 7.94 million starting price of LEOS's Knightsbridge townhouses.
- Al Ain Road location opposite Dubai Outlet Mall, about 16 minutes from Downtown Dubai by LEOS's estimate.
- Landscaped plan with more than 15,000 trees, canals and waterfalls, according to LEOS.
What to weigh
- Property Finder lists the project as sold out under one name and on sale under another; confirm availability with LEOS.
- LEOS does not publish a payment plan, and Property Finder's two plans differ.
- Villa types appear only on Property Finder, not on LEOS's own sales page.
