Creek Island is a district of Dubai, 1.4 km from Creek Metro Station, 7 listings available with us.
Creek Island is a reclaimed island within the Dubai Creek Harbour masterplan, positioned close to the Ras Al Khor area and conceived as a mixed residential neighbourhood clustered around a landscaped central park and waterfront promenades. The site evolved from original reclamation work completed before a major redesign by the master developer; subsequent phases of excavation and tower construction commenced in the mid-2010s. The island is part of a larger urban scheme intended to add new waterfront living options to Dubai Creek, and its development history, transport links and project mix shape its current profile.
Creek Island sits inside the Dubai Creek Harbour framework and is planned as a compact island community with residential towers, parkland and retail elements. The masterplan has been revised since the initial concept images, and the early design renders can be compared with the completed buildings. Land reclamation for the island was completed before the master developer reworked the district layout. Excavation for tower foundations started in 2014, while construction contracts for the first towers were awarded in January 2016, marking the transition from preparatory work to vertical construction.
The nearest Dubai Metro access is on the Green Line, at station G30, approximately 1,413 metres from the island’s central area. Reaching the station usually requires a short drive or local shuttle connection. Road travel times provide a practical sense of connectivity to key Dubai destinations: roughly 20 minutes to Dubai Mall, about 31 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, around 30 minutes to Burj Al Arab and near 35 minutes to The Walk JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is commonly reached in approximately 23 minutes by car, while Al Maktoum International Airport is typically about a 50-minute drive under normal traffic conditions. These travel times are indicative and depend on route choice and prevailing traffic levels.
Creek Island hosts a number of residential developments and small clusters of towers around a central landscaped area and the waterfront. The community includes a mix of large towers and podium developments, with thirteen projects across the island. Notable developments include:
Developers often revise designs during the planning and construction cycle, and comparing original concept images with completed buildings offers insight into the district’s evolution. New retail outlets are planned for Creek Island in 2025 and 2026, alongside continued residential occupation.
Nearby education options include Swiss International Scientific School Dubai, approximately 1.1 km away, and Universal American School, approximately 2.8 km from the island.
Creek Island is appropriate for residents seeking waterfront living within a managed masterplan environment that combines mid-to-high-rise residential towers, landscaped public spaces and a growing retail offer. Its proximity to schools and relative centrality to Dubai’s east-central arterial routes make it relevant to families and professionals who prioritise access to waterfront promenades and parkland while maintaining reasonable driving times to central Dubai destinations.

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.
From 2022 to 2025 — +19% on the price per square metre across 14 buildings that traded in both years.
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.
