House prices in Arjan
House prices in Arjan need to be viewed differently from prices in Dubai’s established villa communities. Arjan is primarily an apartment district, with low- and mid-rise residential buildings forming the majority of its housing stock. Current listings show more than 2,600 properties for sale in Arjan, with the overwhelming majority being apartments and virtually no villas available in the community. As a result, there is no reliable standalone villa price index for Arjan.
Across all residential property types, current market data indicate an average transaction price of approximately AED 1.05 million over the previous 12 months. The average price per square foot stood at around AED 1,552 in September 2026, up approximately 2.8% year on year. These figures primarily reflect apartment transactions rather than conventional houses.
Are there villas and houses in Arjan?
Detached villas and townhouses are extremely limited within Arjan itself. The community was designed largely around apartment buildings, retail space and mixed-use developments. Current inventory consists almost entirely of apartments, with only a small number of land plots, penthouses and duplexes available. Buyers specifically looking for a traditional house with a private plot will therefore find substantially fewer options than in nearby villa-oriented communities.
Larger three-bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses can provide alternatives for families who want more space while remaining in Arjan. Three-bedroom apartments are typically marketed from around AED 2.4 million and can exceed AED 3.8 million depending on size and finishing standards.
Prices for larger homes in Arjan
The average price of a three-bedroom apartment in Arjan was approximately AED 1,469 per sq. ft. in September 2026, representing annual growth of about 9.6%. This was stronger than the growth recorded for smaller apartment categories. Two-bedroom units averaged approximately AED 1,445 per sq. ft., while one-bedroom properties averaged around AED 1,515 per sq. ft.
Premium developments can command considerably higher rates. Apartments in Vincitore Benessere averaged approximately AED 1,838 per sq. ft., while Art House Hills stood at around AED 1,744 and Floarea Residence at about AED 1,704 per sq. ft. These developments may appeal to buyers looking for larger layouts and higher-end amenities rather than a conventional villa.
How Arjan compares with villa communities
Buyers searching specifically for houses often compare Arjan with nearby or accessible villa communities rather than limiting the search to Arjan itself. The district’s main advantage is its comparatively affordable freehold apartment market and location near Al Barsha South, Dubai Motor City and major roads. Its residential character is therefore quite different from communities built around villas and townhouses.
What affects house and property prices in Arjan?
Property values in Arjan depend on building quality, developer reputation, unit size, completion status, amenities and proximity to major roads and local facilities. Newer projects with pools, gyms, landscaped areas and modern interiors generally command premiums over older stock.
For buyers seeking a house-like property, layout and usable space are especially important. Duplexes, penthouses and large three-bedroom apartments should be compared by total purchase price, internal area, terraces, service charges and parking rather than only by price per square foot. Because true villas are scarce in Arjan, buyers should also verify the exact property type before using general “house price” statistics to assess value.
