A typical residential sale here is AED 1,025,000 for about 1,013 sqft, from 42,858 recorded sales.
Prices here have moved +51.0% across the 207 months (May 2009 – Aug 2026) of Land Department records we hold — a pace of +2% a year if it continued.
That is the whole 207 months of records for this area, expressed as an annual pace. It averages across every cycle in that period, so it describes the long run rather than the market today. Treat it as history, not a forecast.
Off-plan and ready are different markets
Comparing a launch price against a resale price without separating them is the most common way Dubai price-per-square-foot figures mislead.

What each size costs in Wadi Al Safa 5
Median size and price for every bedroom count with at least 15 recorded sales. Dubai Land Department records a room count on nearly every sale, so this is a breakdown of real transactions rather than an estimate.
Rent is matched by size here, not bedroom count, so the column is what homes of that sizeactually let for — the question behind the question, answered from real contracts. Ejari does also carry a bedroom count on most tenancies, and the rent-by-bedroom figures on this page read that field directly.

Common questions about Dubai Land Residence Complex
How much is rent in Dubai Land Residence Complex?
a studio rents for a median AED 40,000/yr, a 1-bedroom for AED 57,000/yr, a 2-bedroom for AED 75,000/yr, a 3-bedroom for AED 155,000/yr. These are medians of tenancy contracts registered with Ejari in Dubai Land Residence Complex over the last twelve months — what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. This table matches rent to homes by floor area, which every Ejari contract records. Ejari carries a bedroom count on most contracts too, and the rent-by-bedroom figures on this page read that field rather than inferring it from size.

The best gross yield here is on a studio at 5.7%. Smaller homes almost always yield more than larger ones — they cost proportionally less and rent for proportionally more.
Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere
The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price — and in a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. On that arithmetic a studio here reads 6.7% instead of 5.7%, because it prices the home at AED 596.61K — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 696.07K it costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months on both sides.
What it returns after service charges
We hold no filed budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder rather than a measurement — it’s on the service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.

Still not the final number: agency commission on re-letting, and any month the home sits empty, both come out of net rent too. This subtracts the service charge only, because it is the one cost that is the same every year whether or not the home is let.
Gross yield: rent before costs. Service charges, agency commission, and any month the home sits empty all come out of it — in Dubai the service charge alone is commonly a fifth to a third of the rent, so treat these as the ceiling rather than the return.
How much do properties cost in Dubai Land Residence Complex?
The median residential sale price in Dubai Land Residence Complex is AED 1,448/sqft, which works out at about AED 1.03M for a typical 1,013 sqft home. That is a median of 42,858 sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.
What rental yield does Dubai Land Residence Complex give?
Gross yields in Dubai Land Residence Complex run about 5.7% on a studio, 5.3% on a 1-bedroom, 4.9% on a 2-bedroom, 5.2% on a 3-bedroom, dividing a year of registered rent by what that size actually sold for over the same twelve months. Smaller homes yield more. These are gross figures: service charges, agency commission and void periods are not deducted, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.
Is Dubai Land Residence Complex freehold?
Yes. Every unit in Dubai Land Residence Complex whose tenure is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 36,865 units for the area.
Is Dubai Land Residence Complex mostly off-plan or completed homes?
75% of the 42,858 registered sales in Dubai Land Residence Complex were off-plan, and the rest were completed homes. The two trade at different prices, so a single blended price per square foot for the area would describe neither.
