Elan is a residential sub-community within Tilal Al Ghaf in Dubai. It is planned as a low-rise neighbourhood of duplex townhouses and terraces set around communal landscaping and shared facilities. The development is part of the Tilal Al Ghaf masterplan and sits at coordinates 25.026487, 55.234196.
Elan is a subcommunity of Tilal Al Ghaf, positioned inland relative to Dubai’s western waterfront districts. The site is identified as a distinct cluster of townhouse residences within the wider Tilal Al Ghaf development. On official listings Elan is recorded under the subcommunity type and appears within the developer masterplan materials and property listings for Tilal Al Ghaf.
The community occupies a suburban footprint with internal roads, parks and pedestrian routes. The masterplan and early concept images for Elan were published at launch and include the layout of terraces, shared open spaces and community amenities. As with many multi-phase developments, later construction and final finishes may differ from initial concept images; the original materials remain a reference for early design intent.
Elan is not adjacent to a Dubai Metro station. The nearest Red Line stop is coded R73 and lies approximately 7,211 metres away by straight-line measure; the location is therefore considered not walkable to that metro station. Road connections provide access to a number of Dubai’s key districts and transport hubs.
Distances from Elan to major points in Dubai (approximate):
Typical driving times quoted for the area (approximate, as published in locality materials) include about 28 minutes to Dubai Mall, 25 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 24 minutes to Burj Al Arab, and 27 minutes to The Walk JBR. Published estimates also indicate roughly 32 minutes’ drive to Dubai International Airport (DXB) and about 25 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC). Actual travel times depend on route choice and traffic conditions.
Elan is composed predominantly of duplex townhouses arranged in terraces. The townhouse configuration includes three-bedroom and four-bedroom layouts. Published area figures for the homes indicate a three-bedroom townhouse with a total area of about 200 sq m (2,152 sq ft) and a four-bedroom townhouse with a total area of about 219 sq m (2,354 sq ft).
Terrace organisation follows a repeating pattern: in each terrace the three-bedroom units occupy the middle positions while four-bedroom houses are positioned at the ends. Terraces are described as being set out in groups that can include two-, four- or six three-bedroom houses with a four-bedroom unit at each end of the row. This arrangement yields runs of connected homes with end units typically larger than the intermediate units.
On-site amenities include:
Additional retail and community amenities can be found in adjacent neighbourhoods of Tilal Al Ghaf. The launch and marketing materials also reference the presence of a school described as notable within the community context.
Sales and market notes recorded in published locality materials state that early phases of Elan sold rapidly: the first and second phases were reported as sold out within seven days, and a third phase comprising 322 homes was reported sold within 48 hours. By October 2020 more than 900 homes had been sold according to those materials. The Dubai Land Department transaction feed includes recorded sale transactions for Elan; the referenced dataset includes 50 sale transaction records for the neighbourhood as presented in property listings portals. The official Dubai Land Department records used for such summaries are published on working days.
Elan’s product mix and on-site facilities are consistent with family-oriented townhouse living. The presence of multi-bedroom duplex townhouses, children’s pools and play areas, parks and a fitness court supports household needs that typically prioritise private outdoor space and communal play areas.
The community is also suitable for buyers or tenants looking for low-rise, terrace-style housing within a masterplanned suburban setting rather than high-rise apartment living. Proximity to schools in the immediate Tilal Al Ghaf area is a characteristic frequently cited in locality materials.

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 — +65% 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 7 years, from 2020.
* 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.
