Apartments & flats for sale in Dubai (UAE)

More and more foreigners want to buy an apartment in Dubai. Such an investment can deliver an ROI of up to 20% if you choose it wisely. If you decide to resell the apartment or start renting it out, it won't be a problem for you to find buyers or tenants. Alternatively, you may want to use the purchase for yourself — either for relocation purposes or to spend vacations in the UAE. The selection of properties in the city is impressive and the number of new developments can be overwhelming. To make the right choice, it would be reasonable to rely on the services of an experienced broker. They will not only help you select the optimal unit but will also accompany the deal to save you time and effort.

In this article, we'll list the most common apartment types in Dubai and the most coveted areas for buying properties. We'll share the approximate housing prices and explain why it might be smart to use our services.

Five Most Common Apartment Types in Dubai

When comparing apartments for sale in Dubai, you'll come across these five most popular options:

• Studios. When people say that they are looking for cheap flats for sale in Dubai, they usually mean studios. These are compact apartments that normally accommodate a maximum of two people and have varied built-in storage solutions. They consist of a room that doubles as a bedroom and dining area, a bathroom, and a small kitchenette. Some people come to their studios only to sleep and have a shower. However, it's possible to design and furnish a tiny apartment so that it becomes just as cozy and welcoming as a larger counterpart.
• Regular apartments. They are classified depending on the number of bedrooms and are perfect for families. Some of them can be originally open-plan and their owners can decide on the layout by themselves. Regular apartments are equipped with full-fledged kitchens and bathrooms. Their owners might have access to public amenities of their house or complex, such as a swimming pool or a gym.
• Serviced apartments. These are available in two varieties, furnished or non-furnished, and usually consist of one room. Expats buy them to rent them out to travelers who come to Dubai for a short term, either for business or leisure. Tenants can benefit from the services that they can expect from a hotel room, such as cleaning and changing bed linen. Compared to hotels, serviced apartments might have more homely vibes, which can serve as their unique selling point. Normally, their owners don't have to look for clients themselves. They let a professional company take care of everything in exchange for a share of the profit.
• Penthouses. There are spacious rooftop dwellings, the epitome of a posh lifestyle. Typically, they boast an abundance of natural light and stunning panoramic views. Many penthouses have rooftop terraces with private gardens and swimming pools. To access an apartment of this type, you normally take a private elevator.
• Duplexes. This term denotes multi-level spacious apartments with large windows. Compared to regular apartments, they provide more space and light. Unlike penthouses, they don't necessarily belong to the premium segment. Duplexes are spot-on for large families and people who appreciate creative approaches to home design.

Here is the approximate range of prices for all the above-listed property types:

Of course, these numbers are not carved in stone. For instance, you might be able to find a studio for 200,000 AED or a penthouse for over 100,000,000 AED.

Top Neighborhoods to Buy Flat in Dubai

You might be able to find attractive properties in any part of the city. However, the most coveted units tend to be located in the following districts:

• Dubai Marina. This district is a firm favorite of the well-heeled audience. Here, you can live at the waterfront and have extensive entertainment facilities within your arm's reach. The housing prices are high but you can be sure you'll get a handsome ROI.
• Downtown Dubai. It's another worthy location for buyers interested in luxury apartments. You can choose between high-rise or low-rise buildings. There are many tourist attractions here, so the streets are often crowded.
• Jumeirah Lake Towers. It's cheaper than the two previous variants but can compete with them in terms of views and amenities. Here, you can buy waterfront apartments or properties in skyscrapers.
• Palm Jumeirah. This man-made island is ideal for those who want to live on the beach. The selection of premium apartments and villas on sale is impressive. Apart from residential properties, there are many hotels and resorts here.
• Dubai Hills Estate. Consider this option if you want to buy a condo. The prices are rather high, especially for the properties that overlook the park or the golf course. This district generates a steady demand among individuals who appreciate eco-friendly development within an urban area.
• Dubai Silicon Oasis. It's your chance to immerse yourself in a tranquil suburban lifestyle. This area is popular among expats who relocate to the UAE together with their families. The real estate is affordable and the infrastructure is well-developed.
• Jumeirah Village City. It's a nice alternative to the previous option. Its target audience includes not only parents with kids but also solo professionals. It won't be a problem for you to find any amenities that you fancy, from private pools to community centers.
• Meydan. Previously, this area was famous for its racecourse. Now, it's rapidly evolving into a new development haven. This district will be likely to attract sports lovers and families who appreciate the suburban vibes.
• International City. This neighborhood consists of clusters, some of which are older and less comfortable — while others are newer and boast more advanced amenities. The real estate is rather cheap here and the airport is close, that's why International City attracts foreign professionals en masse.

When picking the best area, it's not enough to assess its current state. It's also essential to analyze the plans for its future development because, in Dubai, districts can undergo a very fast transformation.
