Many off plan listings quote a starting price rather than a price for a specific unit, so we do not publish an advertised price per square foot from this data. For price per square foot use the registered Dubai Land Department figures above, which come from completed sales.
Living in Al Furjan
Al Furjan is a genuine mixed community, apartment towers alongside townhouse and villa clusters, with pavilions, parks and community retail, set between the Marina and the Expo/Al Maktoum corridor. It is established and family-friendly, with the rare advantage of its own Metro station. The trade-offs are ongoing construction in parts and busy road corridors around it.
Getting around
- Metro: the Al Furjan station on the Route 2020 line connects the community to the network.
- By car: Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road put the Marina and Expo both about 15 minutes away.
Schools & families
Al Furjan is family-oriented, with schools such as Arbor School and nurseries inside or beside the community, plus parks and the villa clusters that draw families. Metro access and Marina proximity add day-to-day convenience.
Shopping, dining & lifestyle
- Al Furjan Pavilion, community retail, supermarket and dining hubs.
- Ibn Battuta Mall, full-scale retail a short drive away.
- Marina & Expo, beach, dining and events roughly 15 minutes in either direction.
The investor view
Al Furjan balances yield and family appeal: affordable apartments yielding up to ~8.5%, plus townhouses and villas for end-users, all with Metro connectivity and Marina proximity.
What it earns, from the tenancy register
These are not estimates. Over the last twelve months 5,528 tenancy contracts were registered with the Dubai Land Department in Al Furjan, at an average of AED 77,277 a year, which is AED 92 per square foot. Registered rents moved +6.6% against the twelve months before.
| Unit type | Contracts registered | Average annual rent (AED) | Rent per sqft (AED) | Change vs 12 months earlier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 1,417 | 48,959 | 119 | +2.5 |
| 1 bedroom | 2,205 | 68,486 | 87 | +4.6 |
| 2 bedroom | 1,525 | 100,924 | 78 | +6.2 |
| 3 bedroom | 328 | 138,081 | 74 | +4.7 |
| All apartments | 5,528 | 77,277 | 92 | +6.6 |
Against a registered ready sale price of AED 1,291 per square foot, that is a gross yield of 7.1% on ready stock. We divide registered rent by ready sale price, never by an off plan launch price, because you cannot rent a home that has not been handed over.
Check the shorter window before you commit. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -4.6%. Summer seasonality and a smaller sample both sit inside that figure, and we publish it rather than quote only the number that flatters the market.
