Jumeirah Village Circle Area Guide: Prices, Rents and What It's Like to Live There

All three tables show medians, not averages, for apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle, 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 3,297 sales, one-bedroom 5,665 sales, two-bedroom 1,436 sales, three-bedroom 175 sales and four-bedroom 8 sales), and rent medians rest on Ejari contracts (studio 8,364 contracts, one-bedroom 16,103 contracts, two-bedroom 4,722 contracts, three-bedroom 521 contracts and four-bedroom 22 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. Villas and townhouses are covered in the questions below, because mixing them into apartment rows would distort the medians.

These are the Jumeirah Village Circle projects on Binghatti's projects page with no registered transactions in BrickDXB's building list, which suggests they are not yet completed. Many private developers build in the community, so this is one developer's list, not a complete one. 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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Is Jumeirah Village Circle freehold?
Projects here are marketed to all nationalities, but Dubai's published freehold instruments list land by plot number and none of them names Al Barsha South Fourth, the DLD land area for the community, so the designating instrument is to be confirmed. Check the exact unit in the DLD Property Status Enquiry before you sign or pay.
How much does a one-bedroom apartment cost in JVC?
The median registered sale price for a one-bedroom apartment was AED 1,100,000, or a median AED 1,424/sq ft, from 5,665 sales of one-bedroom apartments over the latest twelve months. Newer towers and better locations sit above the median, so compare registered sales in the building you want.
What is the rent for a one-bedroom in JVC?
The median Ejari rent was AED 69,000 a year, from 16,103 contracts. The median for new leases was AED 70,000 and the median on renewals was AED 63,000; renewals are often lower, partly because renewal increases are capped by the RERA rental index.
What do villas and townhouses cost in JVC?
The median three-bedroom villa or townhouse sold for AED 3,250,000 from 87 sales, and the median four-bedroom for AED 3,380,000 from 88 sales. Median rents were AED 175,000 from 418 contracts and AED 200,000 from 371 contracts respectively. Nakheel says the community has over 700 villas.
What rental yield do JVC apartments make?
Median gross yields ranged from 5.2% for a four-bedroom apartment, a thin sample of 8 sales, to 6.6% for a studio; villas and townhouses showed 5.4% for three bedrooms and 5.9% for four. These are historical gross figures before service charges, vacancy and fees, not a forecast or a promise of return.
Have prices in JVC gone up?
The median sale price per square foot was 2.8% higher than in the previous twelve months, according to BrickDXB's analysis of DLD registered sales. Look at the specific building and unit type rather than the community median before you decide.
Is there a metro in JVC?
No. Nakheel puts Al Khail Metro Station 12 min away by road, so most residents drive or use buses.
Which off-plan projects are in JVC?
Binghatti lists Circle from AED 674,999 and Grove from AED 1,200,000, among others, with no handover quarter on its page. Many developers build in the community, so check each one's track record and the project's escrow account with the DLD.
Which schools are in JVC?
JSS International School is inside the community, and Sunmarke School is next door in Jumeirah Village Triangle. Check fees and ratings in the KHDA directory.
What are service charges in JVC?
Each jointly owned building has its own DLD-approved budget, and quality varies a lot between developers here. Ask the seller for the latest statement, or ask us to check the approved figure for the building.
