California Village is a district of Dubai.
California Village is a low-density residential subcommunity in Dubai Land (Wadi Al Safa 4) designed around family-sized homes and a compact set of shared amenities. The master plan combines villa and townhouse living with a small apartment component and places the community within easy reach of Global Village and central Dubai.
California Village sits inside Dubai Land, off Wadi Al Safa 4. The development occupies a master-planned site of 112,127 square metres and is part of a larger urban envelope aimed at residential living outside Dubai – s core skyscraper districts. Coordinates for the location are approximately 25.077724°N, 55.324856°E. The scheme was presented in two main components: California Residences, comprising a total of 234 villas and townhouses, and California Heights, made up of two apartment buildings containing about 150 flats.
The project was conceived with a contemporary design language: a neutral colour palette, wooden finishes and bright white walls feature in the original concept. Homes were offered in a range of four- and five-bedroom layouts with large plots and internal courtyards intended to prioritise privacy and outdoor space.
Resident facilities described in the master plan include:
At the time of launch, the project was given an indicative value of USD 300 million. Construction activity for phase three was awarded to Abr Al Mutawassit Contracting Co, with Infracorp named as the developer linked to the scheme in planning and marketing materials. Initial launch pricing began from AED 3 million for homes.
Published transaction records show a set of sales activity: 50 sale transaction records related to California Village have been reported via Dubai Land Department open data channels and summarised on local property portals.
California Village is positioned outside Dubai – s central districts but retains reasonable road links for private-car journeys. The nearest Dubai Metro station on the Red Line (code R31) is approximately 12.97 km away and is not in walking distance from the community; travel to the station requires road transport.
Direct point-to-point distances from central destinations are as follows (rounded):
Typical driving times quoted in planning and marketing summaries give a practical sense of travel: roughly 21 minutes to Dubai Mall, about 24 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, around 23 minutes to Burj Al Arab, and approximately 28 minutes to The Walk JBR. Dubai International Airport is cited at roughly a 20-minute drive; Al Maktoum International Airport at about 31 minutes. Actual journey times depend on time of day and route choice.
California Village is aimed primarily at residents seeking low-density, villa-style living within reach of Dubai – s leisure and events hubs. The housing mix of four- and five-bedroom properties, larger plots and private courtyards makes the area suitable for families and households that prioritise outdoor space and privacy. Proximity to Global Village and the Dubai Land cluster may appeal to buyers who value a suburban setting with relatively quick access to the city – s attractions and road network.
The master-plan imagery and early concept renders were published during marketing phases; developers and contractors can and do revise designs as projects progress, so built outcomes may differ from initial concepts. Community-level information and transaction records are updated through Dubai – s official land department feeds and local property portals on standard publishing schedules.
The area has a number of schools in the wider vicinity; the closest school cited in local summaries is GEMS Winchester School, Dubai, located roughly 0.8 km from the community according to published notes.

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 +4% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2023 to 2025 — +51% on the price per square metre across 1 buildings that traded in both years.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 4 years, from 2023.
* 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.
