Arjan
One of Dubai's highest-yielding affordable apartment markets, next to Miracle Garden.
Arjan is a mid-rise apartment district in Dubailand, next to the Miracle Garden and Butterfly Garden, that has become one of Dubai's busiest affordable-investment markets. Studios and one-beds start in the mid-AED 500s, service charges are low, and the tenant pool - young professionals priced out of the Marina and JVC - is deep, which pushes gross yields toward 8%.
It is a car-dependent area about 20 minutes from the Marina and Downtown, still filling in, with retail and clinics arriving as more towers complete. Buyers come here for the numbers rather than the lifestyle.
