About

Madinat Jumeirah Living Community

The master plan for Madinat Jumeirah Living is designed as a peaceful, car-free village. Instead of busy roads, the ground level is filled with shaded walking paths, gardens, and "wadis" (small valleys) that connect all the buildings. To keep it quiet and safe, all the cars go straight into an underground basement the moment they enter the community, so you can walk around without worrying about traffic. The buildings are built in clusters around central parks, and a special air-conditioned bridge lets you walk directly into the Souk Madinat Jumeirah and the beach in just a few minutes.

Residences at Madinat Jumeirah Living are divided into the following categories:

Madinat Jumeirah Living is exclusively an apartment and penthouse community; there are no villas or townhouses. It offers 1 to 4-bedroom units featuring private balconies and underground parking. Larger apartments typically include a maid's room, while top-floor penthouses provide expansive terraces with iconic Burj Al Arab views.

Key Amenities at Madinat Jumeirah Living are:

  • Swimming Pools: Multiple temperature-controlled pools for adults and children are scattered throughout the clusters.
  • Fitness Centres: Residents have access to state-of-the-art gyms and yoga studios within their specific building groups.
  • Rooftop Terraces: Many buildings feature communal roof decks with BBQ areas and picnic spaces offering direct views of the Burj Al Arab.
  • Lush Landscapes: The community includes 3.85 million square feet of gardens, jogging tracks, and cycling paths.
  • Children’s Play Areas: Dedicated outdoor playgrounds and shaded areas are integrated into the central green spaces.
  • Community Retail Centre: On-site shops, cafes, pharmacies, and day-care centres provide daily essentials within walking distance.

Why You Should Invest inMadinat Jumeirah Living:

  • Rental Yields: You can expect a gross ROI of 7% to 9%. This is significantly higher than the Dubai city average (approx. 6.3%), mainly because the area attracts high-earning expats and tourists.
  • Capital Growth: Property values in Madinat Jumeirah Living have increased by 22% per square meter over the past few years.
  • Occupancy: It remains exceptionally high, with vacancy at just 3%-5% due to only 3,500 total units in Jumeirah.
