Al Jaddaf Area Guide: Prices, Rents and What It's Like to Live There
Al Jaddaf suits people who want a creekside apartment within a short drive of Downtown, DIFC and Dubai International Airport, with the Al Jadaf and Creek stations of the Metro Green Line inside the district. It is an apartment market, and the most traded home is a one-bedroom: over the latest twelve months its median sale price was AED 1,410,000, from 1,097 sales, and its median rent was AED 70,000 a year, from 3,812 contracts. Freehold status is set plot by plot here, so the ownership answer below explains how to check a unit before you pay anything.

All three tables show medians, not averages, for apartments in Al Jaddaf, from BrickDXB's analysis of DLD open data over the twelve months to its latest update. Sample sizes, by bedroom type: sale medians and gross yields rest on registered sales (studio 778 sales, one-bedroom 1,097 sales, two-bedroom 590 sales and three-bedroom 105 sales), and rent medians rest on Ejari contracts (studio 1,356 contracts, one-bedroom 3,812 contracts, two-bedroom 3,447 contracts, three-bedroom 504 contracts and four-bedroom 31 contracts). A bedroom type with no figure has no published median in the source, and gross yield is median rent divided by median price, before costs.

This block lists Art Bay, which has a project page on this site, and the Al Jaddaf projects on Binghatti's projects page that have no registered rent contracts in BrickDXB's data, which suggests they are not yet completed; it is one developer's list, not every project in the district. Binghatti's page also lists Ghost, Ivory and Pinnacle in Al Jaddaf, from AED 830,000, AED 830,000 and AED 1,449,999 respectively, but those towers already have registered rentals, so they are left out here. Handover quarters are not shown because the developers' pages we used do not state them; ask for the completion date in the sale and purchase agreement and check the project's registration in the DLD Project Status Enquiry.

Source: BrickDXB building pages, DLD-registered sales and Ejari rent contracts over the last twenty-four months; data as of .
Buildings are ranked by registered transactions, meaning DLD-registered sales plus Ejari rent contracts over the last twenty-four months, as published on each building's BrickDXB page. Each row shows the median price, median rent and gross yield for the building's most-sold home type, with its own sample sizes; these medians, yields and samples also cover those twenty-four months, unlike the twelve-month area tables, and the source line gives the end date. This is a ranking of activity, not a list of every building or a recommendation.
Living in Al Jaddaf
Schools
Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai is the school we can place inside the district with certainty: its own address is Dubai Healthcare City, Phase Two, Al Jaddaf, next to the creek and close to Creek Metro Station. It is a private school, so check its curriculum, fees and current inspection rating in the KHDA directory before you shortlist a building for the school run. Binghatti's information for its Wraith tower also names Dubai Gem Private School, The Grammar School and Almawakeb School in Garhoud as nearby options. We have not measured those journeys ourselves, so treat them as a starting list rather than a promise of a short commute, and drive the route at school-run time before you commit to a lease or a purchase.
Healthcare
Mediclinic City Hospital sits in Dubai Healthcare City, in the neighbouring Umm Hurair Second land area. The school address above also shows that part of Dubai Healthcare City's second phase lies inside Al Jaddaf itself, so clinics and the hospital are a short trip from most of the district. Before you choose a building, check which hospitals and clinics your health insurance covers, and time the drive from that building at the hours you would actually travel.
Parks
Ask us to check parks and play areas near a specific building. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Library stands on the creek bank in the district, according to Dubai Municipality.
Transport
The Dubai Metro Green Line runs through the district, and RTA's network map shows the Al Jadaf and Creek stations here, with Dubai Healthcare City station as the next stop up the line. For anyone working in Bur Dubai or Deira, that makes a daily commute by train realistic. By road, Binghatti's project information points to direct access to Al Khail Road, Sheikh Zayed Road and Oud Metha Road from the district.
Commute times
The drive times below are the developer's own figures for Binghatti Wraith, an off-plan tower in the district, not our measurements. Binghatti does not say what traffic these assume; expect longer at peak, and journeys from other buildings will differ.
| Landmark | Time |
|---|---|
| Downtown Dubai | 6 min |
| Dubai International Airport (DXB) | 8 min |
| DIFC | 10 min |

Frequently asked questions
Is Al Jaddaf freehold?
Partly: freehold status depends on the plot, not the district. Dubai's original freehold regulation designated 3 plots in Al Jaddaf for ownership by non-UAE nationals. In 2025, the Dubai Land Department announced that private owners of 329 plots in Al Jaddaf could convert them to freehold for all nationalities. Because conversion is plot by plot, check the exact unit in the DLD Property Status Enquiry before you sign or pay.
Is there a metro station in Al Jaddaf?
Yes: the Al Jadaf and Creek stations on the Dubai Metro Green Line are both in the district. Dubai Healthcare City station is the next stop up the line, and the Green Line continues through Bur Dubai and Deira.
How much does a one-bedroom apartment cost in Al Jaddaf?
The median registered sale price for a one-bedroom apartment was AED 1,410,000 over the latest twelve months, or a median AED 1,927/sq ft. BrickDXB drew it from 1,097 sales of one-bedroom apartments (2,571 sales across all home types). That is a median across all buildings, so a branded or creek-view tower can sit well above it; ask for recent registered sales in the specific tower.
What is the rent for a one-bedroom in Al Jaddaf?
The median Ejari rent for a one-bedroom apartment was AED 70,000 a year, from 3,812 contracts for one-bedroom apartments (9,150 contracts across all home types) over the same twelve months. The median for new leases was AED 72,000 and the median on renewals was AED 65,000; renewals are often lower, partly because renewal increases are capped by the RERA rental index.
What rental yield can you get in Al Jaddaf?
Median gross yields ranged from 4% for a three-bedroom apartment to 6.1% for a studio, with a one-bedroom at 5%. These are historical gross figures, median rent divided by median price, before service charges, vacancy, agency fees and maintenance. They are not a forecast or a promise of return.
Have property prices in Al Jaddaf gone up?
Yes: the median sale price per square foot was 11.3% higher than in the previous twelve months, according to BrickDXB's analysis of DLD registered sales. The monthly median has drifted lower since its peak early this year, so look at the specific building and unit type rather than the district median before you decide.
Which off-plan projects are selling in Al Jaddaf?
Binghatti's projects page lists ten towers in Al Jaddaf; seven of them, from Starfall at AED 759,999 to Moonlight at AED 1,429,999, have no registered rentals yet and appear in the off-plan block above. Other developers also build here, so treat this as one developer's list and ask for the completion date in writing.
What are service charges in Al Jaddaf?
Every jointly owned building has its own DLD-approved budget in AED per square foot, so there is no single figure for the district. Ask the seller for the latest service charge statement, or ask us to check the DLD-approved figure for the building you are considering.
Which schools are in Al Jaddaf?
Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai is inside the district, in Dubai Healthcare City's second phase. Other schools that developers describe as nearby are in neighbouring districts. Check every school's curriculum, fees and rating in the KHDA directory.
Is there a hospital near Al Jaddaf?
Yes: Mediclinic City Hospital is in Dubai Healthcare City, right next to Al Jaddaf. Part of Dubai Healthcare City's second phase lies inside Al Jaddaf itself, so clinics are close to most buildings in the district.
