Al Barsha South is a district of Dubai, 36 listings available with us.
Al Barsha South is a largely residential, developing subcommunity located inland from Palm Jumeirah and to the east of Jumeirah Village Circle. The area forms part of the greater Al Barsha district and includes a mix of established and still-developing sectors, with housing concentrated in low-rise villas and townhouses and clusters of purpose-built neighbourhoods such as Arjan and Dubai Science Park.
Al Barsha South lies north of Motor City and occupies land bounded by major roads: Al Khail Road (E44) to the north-west, Hessa Street to the west, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) to the south and Umm Suqeim Road (D63) to the east. The subcommunity is made up of several segments commonly described as Al Barsha South 1, 2 and 3, together with adjoining areas including Arjan and Dubai Science Park. Al Barsha South 1 is the most developed segment and contains villas and townhouses, while segments 2 and 3 remain under development. Arjan is home to tourist and leisure attractions, while Dubai Science Park is a dedicated business zone.
Subdistricts and immediate subareas:
Road connections are a defining feature of Al Barsha South: the community sits between several major highways, providing direct driving routes across Dubai. The nearest Dubai Metro station on the Red Line is R32, approximately 5,875 metres from the central parts of Al Barsha South, so most residents travel by car or local road transport.
Approximate road distances to key Dubai landmarks:
Al Barsha South combines established residential pockets with large tracts still under development. Al Barsha South 1 features villas and townhouses, while later phases in Al Barsha South 2 and 3 continue to take shape. Arjan has developed around visitor attractions and is home to Dubai Miracle Garden, while Dubai Science Park operates as a business cluster within the wider area.
Nearby projects include Bin Shabib Mall.
Retail and community infrastructure within Al Barsha South remains limited compared with older parts of Al Barsha. The locality has a small number of supermarkets and convenience services, with amenities expanding alongside further development. Larger retail and leisure destinations are a short drive away: Mall of the Emirates offers extensive shopping, indoor snow facilities and cinemas, while Dubai Miracle Garden is a major attraction in Arjan. Nearby Motor City and Dubai Sports City provide additional sports, motorsport and leisure facilities.
Education and healthcare options in and around the wider Al Barsha precinct include Gems World Academy, Nord Anglia International School, JSS International School, Foremarke School, Al Safa Community School and Kings College, as well as Al Barsha Health Centre and Saudi German Hospital in the broader Al Barsha area.
The typical housing stock in Al Barsha South is dominated by three- to five-bedroom villas with comparatively large gardens, making the area attractive to families seeking private outdoor space. The newer character of the community and its mix of established and developing phases also appeal to investors and tenants looking for more affordable rental options while retaining convenient road access to central, coastal and business districts.

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved +11% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2022 to 2025 — +22% on the price per square metre across 18 buildings that traded in both years.
For comparison: the median across the whole district moved +35%. The gap between the two figures is not existing homes appreciating — it is newer, more expensive buildings entering the market. Returns on a purchase follow the first figure.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 11 years, from 2016.
* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
