Sobha is currently selling five-bedroom courtyard villas from AED 7.35 million.

It runs along the community's central green spine, and Sobha describes it as within walking distance of the planned district park, wellness centre, community mall and sports grounds, linked by cycle and footpaths. There are two house types, according to Sobha's FAQ: four-bedroom garden villas and five-bedroom courtyard villas. The four-bedroom houses are two-storey, in four layouts of 2,459 to 3,430 sq ft; the larger ones add a maid's room and an upstairs living room. The five-bedroom villa is 4,107 sq ft on Sobha's floor plan (4,141 sq ft on its listing card), over three floors with a maid's room. The layouts are the same as those published for The Greens, the neighbouring cluster. Pricing needs care, because sources are at different points in the sales cycle. On 12 November 2026 Sobha's listing showed only five-bedroom villas, at AED 7.35 million, subject to availability. Property Finder still shows the launch prices of AED 3,995,908 for four-bedroom villas and AED 7.29 million for five-bedroom villas, and lists stock as available. The most likely reading is that the cheaper garden villas have largely sold, but we could not confirm it; ask Sobha what remains before relying on either figure. Property Finder lists the plan as 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, gives completion as September 2029 and records construction from February 2026. Sobha's own page gives no date, so take the date from the sale agreement. This is a purchase for a family planning several years ahead who wants to be close to the community's centre once it is built. The houses and the developer's finishing are the attraction; the surroundings, including the park, lagoon, schools and shops, are still to come. Sobha gives about 8 minutes by car to Dubai Outlet Mall, 30 to Downtown Dubai and 35 to Dubai International Airport. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4-bedroom villas | Not published | | 2,459 to 3,430 sq ft | | limited | | 5-bedroom villas | AED 7,350,000 | | 4,107 sq ft | | available | Prices are the developer's list prices as of 12 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 20/40/40 - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - During construction: 40% - On handover: 40% (Q3 2029 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
