A Stronger Property Market Story

  • Al Furjan overall: Bayut’s June 2026 index shows approximately AED 1,476/sq ft, compared with AED 1,253/sq ft 24 months earlier.
  • Tilal Al Furjan Phase 1: selected 2026 completed-villa transactions show approximately AED 1,660–1,949/sq ft; its 12-month database average is about AED 1,686/sq ft.
  • Tilal Al Furjan Phase 2: the 12-month database average is approximately AED 1,728/sq ft for villas.
  • Murooj Al Furjan Phase 1: recent 2026 completed-villa transactions include approximately AED 2,169–2,495/sq ft.
  • Murooj Al Furjan West: Bayut reports AED 1,845/sq ft in June 2026, up 17.69% over the previous 12 months.

These newer communities have helped establish higher-value benchmarks for newer villa product in the area. The available data supports describing this as a market shift occurring alongside the completion and trading of newer communities, rather than claiming that Tilal Al Furjan or Murooj Al Furjan alone caused the wider price increase.

Why Al Furjan?

The appeal of Al Furjan comes from the combination of location and livability. Residents can access major road networks and the Metro while remaining close to schools, healthcare, shopping, dining and community amenities. Newer villa communities have also strengthened the area’s premium residential positioning.

  • Connected — major roads and Al Furjan Metro Station.
  • Family-focused — parks, pools, sports facilities, play areas and schools.
  • Convenient — clinics, pharmacies, community retail and major malls nearby.
  • Established — a broad residential mix across villas, townhouses and apartments.
  • Evolving — newer villa communities are contributing higher-value benchmarks to the local market.

Al Furjan is more than a residential location chosen for convenience. Its combination of established community infrastructure, strategic connectivity and newer premium villa developments has strengthened its position within Dubai’s residential market.

For buyers and investors, the key is to compare individual communities, property types, age, plot size, built-up area and recent transaction evidence rather than treating all Al Furjan properties as having the same value.
Connected. Convenient. Community-focused.
