What Masaar is like
Arada's family of gated villa and townhouse communities planted as woodland, inland from Sharjah city near Tilal City. Three master plans, about 9,000 homes in all. Suits families who want a house.
Masaar is the name Arada gives to three neighbouring villa and townhouse communities on the inland side of Sharjah, each laid out around a planted green spine with cycling and running tracks. This page treats them as one area because they share a developer, a formula and a location.
The original Masaar has about 3,000 homes. Arada said in April 2026 that more than 1,500 had been delivered and the remaining 1,500 were due by the end of 2026. Property Finder lists its phases (Sendian, Kaya, Robinia, Saro, Azalea and others) as ready and sold out, so it is now a resale market. Masaar 2, with 1,997 homes, sold out within hours of launch in 2025 and is due for completion in mid-2028.
Masaar 3 is the current release: 4,000 homes in eight gated neighbourhoods on a 21 million sq ft site in the Rowdat suburb, between Masaar 2 and a district of two large schools. Arada launched its fifth phase, Layan, in April 2026 and says the first four phases are sold out. Townhouses start at about AED 1.8 million to AED 2 million.
All three sit close to Tilal City and Sharjah Mosque, with access to Khorfakkan Road and Emirates Road (E611). Arada's launch announcement gives 15 minutes to Sharjah International Airport and 30 minutes to Dubai International Airport from Masaar 3. Savills named Masaar among the communities supporting villa demand in Sharjah in the first half of 2026, when average villa asking prices were 5.4% higher year on year.
Suits
- Families wanting a villa or townhouse
- Owner-occupiers working in Sharjah or north Dubai
- Buyers priced out of Dubai villa communities
In its favour
- Houses with gardens in gated, planted communities; a different product from Sharjah's apartment stock.
- The original Masaar is largely delivered, so the finished product can be inspected.
- Arada states that buyers of all nationalities can purchase freehold in its Sharjah communities.
- Savills reported Sharjah villa asking prices up 5.4% year on year in Q2 2026.
- About 15 minutes from Sharjah International Airport.
Worth knowing
- Roughly 6,000 homes across Masaar 2 and Masaar 3 are still to be built, most completing from 2028.
- Inland location: no beach, and a car is needed for everything.
- Extensive landscaping in a desert climate has to be paid for through service charges; ask for the current rate in the original Masaar.
- Launch-day sell-outs include investors; expect many similar homes offered for resale and rent at handover.
- Dubai commutes depend on Emirates Road traffic.
