It was planned around sport: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the ICC headquarters and academy, The Els Club golf course and a sports village with football, rugby, tennis and athletics facilities are all here. Around them sit mid-rise apartment blocks, the Victory Heights villa community (about 1,000 villas, according to Bayut) and a few townhouse schemes. Much of the district has been occupied for years, so there is a real resident population, with schools such as Victory Heights Primary and Dwight School Dubai, clinics and local supermarkets. Larger shopping is a short drive away at City Centre Me'aisem in Dubai Production City or First Avenue Mall in Motor City. A new round of towers is now under construction. Property Finder listed 27 new projects in Dubai Sports City on 12 November 2026, ten with developer stock. They are mostly studio-heavy towers from mid-market developers most with starting prices between about AED 600,000 and AED 1.2 million. Aspirz by Danube, a mixed apartment and office tower due at the end of 2028, is among the largest. By car, Bayut gives about 22 minutes to Dubai Marina and 27 to Dubai International Airport. There is no metro in the district. Property Finder's community page showed 2,850 sale transactions in the previous 12 months when checked on 12 November 2026, with average sale prices up 3.1% year on year on its measure. ## Who it suits - Budget apartment investors - Tenants and owners who use the sports facilities - Families looking at Victory Heights villas - Buyers wanting an established district at JVC-level prices ## Highlights - Existing community with schools, clinics, a golf course and an international cricket stadium - Direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, with Al Khail Road minutes away - Entry prices for new studios from about AED 600,000 (Property Finder, November 2026) - Liquid market: 2,850 sale transactions in 12 months (Property Finder, checked 12 November 2026) - Victory Heights offers golf-course villas inside the same district ## Considerations - No metro: Bayut puts the nearest station about 12 minutes away by car, so residents need a vehicle or rely on buses - A cluster of new towers, most of them studios and one-bedroom flats, is due between 2027 and 2028 and will compete with a large existing stock of older apartments - Older buildings vary in upkeep; compare service charges and the condition of common areas building by building ## Drive times - Mall of the Emirates: about 15 minutes - Dubai Marina: about 22 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 27 minutes ## Developments in Dubai Sports City - [Aspirz by Danube](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-sports-city/aspirz-by-danube): Danube Properties; Dubai Sports City, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 879,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Azizi Grand](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-sports-city/azizi-grand): Azizi Developments; Dubai Sports City, Dubai; under construction; from AED 1,104,000 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [Jumeirah Golf Estates](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-golf-estates) - [Dubai Production City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-production-city) - [Jumeirah Village Circle](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-village-circle) - [Tilal Al Ghaf](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/tilal-al-ghaf) ## Questions and answers ### Is Dubai Sports City freehold?
