What this place is and where it sits
DubaiLand Residence Complex is a planned residential development inside DubaiLand, administered as a community within the Wadi Al Safa 5 sub-area. It consists of multiple residential buildings and newer construction plots, with landscaping and improvements to roads and pavements. The development has community green areas and landscaped roundabouts, with two mid-sized parks in each half of the complex and additional smaller parks on the periphery, featuring sports facilities and children’s play areas.
The community is approximately 7.6 km from Global Village and roughly 15–18 km from many of Dubai’s major hubs. On some mornings, a mild sewage smell may be noticeable, likely linked to the Al Aweer Sewage Treatment Plant around 9 km to the north-east. Aerobatic practice by the Fursan Al Emarat team can occasionally be seen above nearby desert areas.

Actual transaction prices in DubaiLand Residence Complex, since 2025
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 +10% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
How the price per square metre changed by year
From 2022 to 2025 — +41% on the price per square metre across 38 buildings that traded in both years.
For comparison: the median across the whole district moved +67%. 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 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.
