Dubai South Residential District is a district of Dubai.
Dubai South Residential District is the residential component within the wider Dubai South masterplan. The district is presented as a planned housing neighbourhood intended to serve workers, families and residents connected to Dubai South’s broader economic, logistics and aviation precincts. The area’s layout and initial masterplan have been published by the developer and offer a framework for residential blocks, open spaces and local infrastructure; built projects and design details may evolve through construction and subsequent revisions.
Dubai South Residential District belongs to the Dubai South zone, a large development positioned to serve the new Al Maktoum International Airport and adjacent economic nodes. The district functions primarily as a residential enclave inside that larger scheme. Maps and original concept images issued at the time of launch show the intended arrangement of streets, building plots and landscape areas. Those concept visuals are useful for comparing initial plans with developments that later reach completion.
The nearest metro line by designation for the wider area is the Red Line; the reference code for a nearby station is R76, with an indicated straight-line distance of approximately 6,663 metres and classified as not walkable. For road travel, typical driving times from Dubai South Residential District to major Dubai destinations have been recorded as follows: roughly 38 minutes to Dubai Mall; around 34 minutes to Palm Jumeirah; approximately 35 minutes to Burj Al Arab; and about 37 minutes to The Walk, JBR. Airport connections by car are commonly stated as about 38 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB) and about 19 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, subject to traffic and chosen routes.
The district contains a collection of residential projects at various stages. The site list includes a number of completed and under-construction residential towers and mid-rise developments. The following projects are recorded on site (links point to project pages where available):
Additional projects listed for the district include Damac Celestia Tower B and Cresswell Views among others; a total of nineteen projects are recorded for the wider district. Developers may revise designs, amenities and landscaping as projects progress from concept to construction and completion. Project pages and masterplan documents are the primary sources for updates on building status and delivered facilities.
Within the district perimeter, planned provisions typically feature residential blocks with associated parking and internal amenity spaces. For educational needs, a recorded nearby option is The International School of Choueifat DIP at an approximate distance of 5.8 km from the district; that school is referenced as the closest in the available summary. Retail, leisure and wider healthcare services are generally accessed across the larger Dubai South zone or by driving to neighbouring urban districts.
Dubai South Residential District is suited to households and residents whose daily activities are connected to the Dubai South employment, logistics and aviation hubs, or to those seeking housing positioned close to Al Maktoum International Airport. It can also serve investors or occupiers looking for accommodation within a planned masterplanned environment rather than an established, inner-city neighbourhood. The district’s road connectivity makes commuting by car feasible to central Dubai destinations within the stated drive times; however, public transport access by metro is at a distance that is not classified as walkable from the immediate residential area.
The original masterplan and initial concept images for Dubai South Residential District were published by the developer at the time of launch. These materials provide a baseline for comparison between intended urban design and the buildings realised on site. Media and developer updates track revisions to architectural details, amenity offerings and landscaping. Interested parties typically consult project pages and planning documentation to verify the current stage and design of any given development inside the district.
It is part of the Dubai South masterplan, positioned near the new Al Maktoum International Airport and associated economic precincts.

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 +8% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 7 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.
