Al Jadaf
What apartments in Al Jadaf cost, how prices and rents have moved since 2017, every building with its figures, and what it is like to live there. All of it from Dubai Land Department records.
Al Jadaf is a district on the bank of Dubai Creek. It lies between Oud Metha and Dubai Festival City, with Al Khail Road running through it. For a long time the area was known for its shipbuilding yards, and Dubai Culture Village (home to the Jameel Arts Centre) now sits on its waterfront. Further inland is Dubai Healthcare City Phase 2, where residential towers are going up alongside medical facilities.
There are 13 apartment buildings in the district with 3,704 homes between them. The first were completed in 2019 and the latest in 2025. Most were built by Azizi Developments, Binghatti and Iraz Real Estate Development. The largest include Ghost by Binghatti, Binghatti Avenue and Farhad Azizi Residence.
Creek Metro Station on the Green Line is about 800 m away, and Al Jadaf Metro Station serves the southern part of the district. The DHCC Phase 2 Promenade, a park, is about 1.2 km away.
Al Jadaf is an apartment district of about 3,703 apartments, built from 2019 onwards. 13 buildings are complete. A typical building here has about 181 homes; the tallest, Binghatti Avenue, has 27 floors. The buildings come from five developers, led by Azizi Developments and Binghatti.
Over the last 12 months 409 apartments changed hands in Al Jadaf at a median of AED 1,955 per sqft, up 7.6% on the year before. The typical sale was AED 1.2M for a 706 sqft apartment. One-beds are the largest share of the apartments at 48%, followed by studios at 34%; two-beds are 14% and three-beds are 4%. Rents run at AED 110 per sqft a year, a gross yield of 5.6% at today's prices, in line with the Dubai-wide 6.0%.
1,389 rental contracts were registered in the same 12 months, 32% of them renewals, and a typical apartment rents for AED 68,000 a year.
In Al Jadaf, typical sale prices over the last 12 months were around AED 906,000 for studios, AED 1.2M for one-beds, AED 2.2M for two-beds and AED 2.9M for three-beds. Per square foot the order reverses: studios fetch about AED 2,213 and three-beds AED 1,771, because small units trade at a premium. Sales ranged from AED 259,000 to AED 4.5M, and 160 of the 409 were one-beds, the most traded type.
Off-plan sales were 49% of the last 12 months (200 of 409), down from 83% the year before. Buyers paid AED 2,215 per sqft off-plan against AED 1,671 for completed homes, a 33% premium for new stock and payment plans.
More than three quarters of Al Jadaf's apartments are studios and one-beds, which is why the typical sale here, 706 sqft, is smaller than the Dubai median of about 826 sqft. There are no villas or townhouses; the few three-bed and larger homes are in the taller towers such as Binghatti Avenue.

Al Jadaf's first registered sales, in 2017, were at about AED 1,420 per sqft. Prices then slid to a low of about AED 830 in 2020 and have since climbed to AED 1,955, 124% above the low.

The busiest month of the last year was November 2025, with 93 sales registered. On the monthly median of every registered sale, prices are up 7.6% over the last 12 months, up 139% over five years and up 38% on the 2017 level. Rents are down 1.0% over the last 12 months, up 80.1% over five years and up 58% since 2020, so rents now rise more slowly than prices and gross yields are easing.
Nothing is under construction in Al Jadaf today, so the stock is what it is: 13 buildings and about 3,703 homes. Five of them handed over in the last five years, so the newest stock is still settling into the rental market. The figures on this page refresh monthly as new sales and contracts are registered.
The line is the monthly median of every sale and rental contract, smoothed over three months; a month with fewer than ten records sits between its neighbours, and the latest such months are read together. The changes compare 12-month medians: the last 12 months against the 12 before. Source: Dubai Land Department.
