Townhouses offer villa-style living at a lower price. Here are Dubai's most popular townhouse communities for buyers and tenants.
A townhouse gives you your own front door, several floors and often a small garden — with lower prices and service charges than a detached villa. That makes townhouses one of Dubai's most popular choices for growing families, both to buy and to rent.
Popular townhouse communities
- Town Square — a large, family-focused community aimed at first-time buyers.
- Arabian Ranches — an established community with schools and golf nearby.
- DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Lagoons — resort-style amenities, golf and lagoons.
- The Valley and Emaar South — newer Emaar communities at accessible price points.
- Al Furjan and Jumeirah Village Triangle — central locations with good road access.
Buying a townhouse
Townhouses are popular with end-users, which supports resale demand and rental income. Off-plan townhouses in newer communities can be bought on payment plans; ready townhouses in established communities offer immediate income or occupancy.
Renting a townhouse
Townhouse rentals move quickly in family communities. Rent is usually paid annually in one or several cheques, with a security deposit, and every tenancy must be registered on Ejari.
