The Acres is a district of Dubai, 2 listings available with us.
The Acres is a planned low-density subcommunity in Dubai Land focused on standalone villas, landscaped open space and pedestrian-oriented neighbourhoods. The master plan emphasises a natural setting with interconnected parks and short walking distances from residences to public green space. The development sits within the wider DubaiLand area and is organised into phases and internal loops that separate pedestrian zones from peripheral vehicle access.
The Acres is a primarily residential community of standalone villas located in Dubai Land, within the Wadi Al Safa 7 area. The site covers a total area of 108.85 hectares and the master plan concentrates on outdoor living, with a network of parks, gardens and pedestrian routes. The design combines stone, wood and glass with contemporary interior palettes and a variety of private and communal garden types.
Homes range from three- to seven-bedroom villas, with an approximate total gross floor area across the community of around 6 million square feet. Outer park loops accommodate three- to five-bedroom villas, while inner park loops feature five- to seven-bedroom homes. Three-bedroom layouts include a side courtyard and park-facing orientation; four-bedroom layouts add a stone-wall aesthetic and a multipurpose room with a terrace; five-bedroom villas feature selective openings for privacy, while some designs include a double-height living area.
The nearest Dubai Metro station is on the Red Line (station code R31), approximately 12,369 metres from the community centre. Road travel is the practical option for most trips.

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 2024 to 2026 — +1% 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 3 years, from 2024.
* 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.
