Al Warsan

7–8%.

It mainly suits budget-focused buy-to-let investors. As an emerging affordable district in eastern Dubai — with prices around 750–950 AED per sqm and yields of 7–8%, above the ~6.8% city benchmark — it offers a low entry cost and strong cash flow. Studios and one-bedrooms next to International City attract value-seeking tenants rather than luxury or owner-occupier buyers.

Al Warsan sits beside the E311 (Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road), with Dragon Mart about 5 minutes away, DXB Airport ~15 and Downtown ~25. There is no direct metro — the nearest station is roughly 15 minutes off — so the area is car-oriented. Its road access and Dragon Mart retail anchor make it convenient for commuters working across eastern and central Dubai.

Affordability is the key driver. With accessible prices and 7–8% yields above the city average, studios and one-bedrooms see steady demand from value-seeking tenants, supported by neighbouring International City and the Dragon Mart commercial hub. The mix of low purchase prices and modest service charges (around 10–14 AED per sqm) keeps net returns attractive for buy-to-let owners.

UAE buyers pay a one-time 4% DLD fee and no annual property tax. Off-plan units here typically come with interest-free developer payment plans, with funds protected in RERA escrow. At this affordable price point most units fall below the AED 750K investor-visa threshold, so residency via property is usually limited — buyers focus on yield rather than Golden Visa eligibility.
