Studio yields: 7-8.5%. For a 2BR: 6.6-7.5%. Low service charges deliver a stronger net yield than most areas.

Studio: AED 750-850K (11 Hills Park, Binghatti Hillside). 1BR: AED 1-1.5M. 2BR: AED 1.6-2.4M.

DSP has built-in tenant demand from the 350+ companies and 3,000+ scientists based in the life-sciences Free Zone. These are stable, professional tenants who value living next to work, which keeps occupancy high and turnover low. That dependable base — rather than transient renters — is why studios here sustain 7-8.5% yields, and it makes DSP a defensive buy-to-let proposition.

DSP sits directly alongside the E311 and Hessa Street in Al Barsha South 2. Mall of the Emirates is ~10 minutes away, Dubai Marina ~20 and Downtown ~25. There is no metro within DSP itself, with the nearest station at Mall of the Emirates, but the dual-highway frontage gives residents fast car access across the city — a key reason the district draws professional tenants.

Service charges at DSP are notably low — just 12-15 AED per sqft. Because the gap between gross and net yield is driven largely by service charges, DSP's lean fees mean more of the headline 6.6-8.5% reaches the investor's pocket than in many neighbouring communities. Combined with a captive scientific-tenant base, this gives DSP an attractive net-return profile.

A 1BR (AED 1-1.5M) or 2BR (AED 1.6-2.4M) can approach or exceed the AED 2 million threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa, while any purchase from AED 750,000 — including an entry-level studio — secures a 2-year residency. Dubai has no annual property tax; the main one-off cost is the 4% DLD fee paid at registration. Off-plan units are sold with interest-free payment plans under RERA escrow.
