Al Furjan is an established, well-connected community of apartments, townhouses and villas between Dubai Marina and the Expo/Al Maktoum corridor. With its own Metro station, solid yields (up to ~8.5% on studios) and a genuine mix of affordable apartments and family villas, it is a quietly rising value-and-yield pick.

Source: Cresco Real Estate live listings, rebuilt 4 November 2026. These are advertised entry prices, meaning the lowest price currently quoted on each listing. Many off plan listings quote a starting price rather than a price for a specific unit, so we do not publish an advertised price per square foot from this data.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.

Registered rents in Al Furjan, by bedroom count
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.

The honest market read

Al Furjan yields run 7 to 8.5% on studios and 6 to 7% on larger apartments, tapering to 4.9% on villas, a strong profile for a community with Metro access and Marina proximity. It is an established, mixed community: apartments for yield, townhouses and villas for families, at prices well below the Marina. The specific building or cluster drives the return.

Who should buy here

Al Furjan suits value-and-yield investors who want Metro-connected apartments near the Marina, and families wanting affordable townhouses and villas. If you want prestige or beachfront, look elsewhere; if you want a connected, established community with strong yields and family options at a fair price, Al Furjan delivers.
