Completed residential apartments in four neighbourhoods, 2026. Past sales are not current offers.
The price gap is also a space question
The typical two-bedroom sale in Downtown was AED 3,475,000 with a typical recorded area of 1,362 ft². In JVC the equivalent figures were AED 1,500,000 and 1,283 ft². These are different groups of homes, rather than identical apartments in different postcodes.
A buyer should use that difference to decide where to look, not as proof that one district is automatically better value. Age, facilities, floor, outlook and the particular building can account for a large part of the price.

Turn the numbers into a shortlist
Choose a bedroom count and a maximum price in the neighbourhood comparison. Look at the recorded areas within that budget, then select two or three buildings for a viewing. A district average is too broad to negotiate a specific apartment on its own.
At the viewing, collect the exact floor plan, current annual charges and the condition of the home. Compare those documents with apartments of a similar size. Keep a separate allowance for purchase costs, repairs and furnishing.
