Arjan is a district of Dubai, 28 listings available with us.
Arjan is a mixed‑use residential and leisure neighbourhood in the Al Barsha South area of Dubai. Launched in 2006 as part of the larger DubaiLand masterplan, Arjan developed around a combination of apartment communities, retail plots and leisure attractions. The area is best known for family‑oriented parks and mid‑rise residential clusters that have filled in since construction activity resumed following the early 2010s slowdown.
Arjan occupies a position north of Dubai Motor City, at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Road (D63). The current masterplan divides the community into multiple development zones and plots designed to accommodate residential, retail, hotel and office components; the scheme anticipates capacity for tens of thousands of residents. Development in Arjan initially slowed after 2010 but has since progressed: by September 2020 observers recorded dozens of completed buildings alongside projects still under development.
Arjan is automobile‑oriented but linked to Dubai’s arterial roads. Distances from central points are:
The nearest Dubai Metro station listed for the area is on the Red Line (station code R33) at roughly 7,818 metres from the community; this distance is noted as not walkable in standard conditions, so travel to and from the metro typically requires a car or taxi connection.
Arjan contains a large number of residential blocks and several ongoing and completed developments. Project counts recorded for the locality note dozens of on‑site schemes and a comparable number of nearby developments. The area also hosts a mix of mid‑rise apartment buildings and planned retail plots intended to support neighbourhood life.
Selected on‑site residential projects include (links to project pages):
Nearby projects and developers recorded in official listings include:
In addition, a retail initiative by Samana Developers—Samana Retail Park—was announced for Arjan. The project was described as a multi‑million dollar retail park with a five‑year payment plan and an expected handover in the first quarter of 2027 in developer material.
Arjan is designed primarily for residents seeking affordable to mid‑market apartment living within a suburban context that includes leisure amenities. The presence of family attractions and nearby schools makes the neighbourhood suitable to families and long‑term residents. The road network and proximity to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road also suit commuters who travel by car to other Dubai hubs. The mix of finished buildings and recently completed clusters attracts buyers and renters looking for newer stock without the premium of central districts.
Arjan hosts several leisure attractions that draw visitors from across the city. Dubai Miracle Garden opened in the area in 2013 and the Butterfly Park followed in 2015; Global Village is also within a short driving distance. Retail and local services are concentrated around the residential clusters, and new retail outlets have been planned or launched in recent years to support growing neighbourhood demand.
Schools in close proximity reported in local listings include Dhruv Global School (approx. 0.2 km) and Australian International School Dubai (approx. 0.6 km), providing options for families within easy reach of the community.

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 +12% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2022 to 2025 — +31% on the price per square metre across 39 buildings that traded in both years.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 13 years, from 2014.
* 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.
