Dubai Investment Park: Residential Areas and Property Prices 2026

Dubai Investments Park (DIP) is a mixed-use community in the southwest of Dubai, spanning about 23 million square meters, combining industrial, logistics, commercial, and residential zones. Housing represents only about 14% of its leased spaces, yet it is home to more than 150,000 residents according to the developer's data.

This mixed nature is what distinguishes the area: entry prices are lower than many Dubai communities, and rental demand is supported by thousands of workers within the park itself. This guide reviews the location of the park, the difference between its two sections, its main residential communities, and the recorded sales and rental prices in 2026.

Where is Dubai Investments Park located?

Dubai Investments Park is located in the southwest corridor of Dubai, near Jebel Ali, between Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) and Jebel Ali – Lehbab Road. It neighbors the Dubai South area and Al Maktoum International Airport, but it is an independent community with its own management and master plan, and is not considered part of Dubai South.

Dubai Investments Park Metro: The park is served by the “Dubai Investments Park” station on the Red Line (Route 2020), an underground station opened by the Roads and Transport Authority on June 1, 2021, just before the Expo station. Feeder bus lines connect distant residential communities to the station.

Driving times are estimates and vary depending on the starting point within the park and traffic conditions.

Dubai Investments Park 1 and 2: What is the difference?

The park is divided into two main sections: DIP 1, which contains the older, more established communities and is closest to the metro, and DIP 2, which includes existing apartment complexes alongside major new projects under development.

Dubai Investments Park 1 (DIP 1)

DIP 1 is home to Green Community in its various phases, including Green Community West, as well as Ewan Residences and the metro station. It is dominated by ready properties such as villas, townhouses, and low-rise apartments, and contains most of the schools and community facilities. You can browse properties for sale in Dubai Investments Park 1 to compare ready options.

Dubai Investments Park 2 (DIP 2)

DIP 2 includes existing apartment complexes such as Dunes Village and Ritaj, and the multi-cluster Damac Riverside project, which will be delivered in phases until 2029. This section therefore offers both ready units with lower entry prices and off-plan units at higher prices, with the option of phased payments.

Main areas and residential communities in Dubai Investments Park

Green Community

The oldest and quietest residential community in the park: a gated, low-density community known for its wide green spaces, featuring villas from 3 to 6 bedrooms, townhouses, and a limited number of apartments. It is home to "The Market" shopping center. It should not be confused with Green Community in Motor City; they are separate communities.

Ritaj

An apartment complex of 11 six-storey buildings, developed by the real estate arm of Dubai Investments, completed in 2012. It is one of the lowest entry points in the park and is located next to Dunes Village.

Ewan Residences

A completed complex of low-rise buildings (three floors) offering one- to three-bedroom apartments with relatively spacious layouts, ample parking, and internal commercial services.

Dubai Lagoon and Dunes Village

Dubai Lagoon consists of about 50 mid-rise buildings surrounding two artificial lakes. Dunes Village is a gated community of 19 five-storey buildings, offering studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, with a pool, gym, and mosque.

Property prices in Dubai Investments Park 2026

Prices within the park vary greatly, as the market includes two different products: ready units, most of which were completed over a decade ago, and new off-plan units priced at a clear premium. Therefore, we separate below between listing prices and registered transactions.

Average apartment prices by number of rooms

The registered transactions mentioned are samples of transactions recorded with the Land Department, mostly for new projects; thus, they do not represent a comprehensive average.

Average price per square foot in Dubai Investments Park

The listing price index for apartments reached about 929 AED per sq. ft. in June 2026, a decrease of 6.75% year-on-year, after reaching about 1,145 AED six months earlier.

Registered transactions show a wide gap depending on the property status:

• Ready apartments: About 910 – 1,094 AED per sq. ft.

• Off-plan apartments: About 1,430 – 2,870 AED per sq. ft. depending on the project.

For comparison, the average price per sq. ft. in Dubai overall was about 1,916 AED during the first half of 2026, making ready apartments in the park among the lowest-priced in the emirate.

Average rents for apartments and villas in Dubai Investments Park

Registered apartment rents in 2026 range from 40,000 AED for studios to 82,000 AED for two-bedroom apartments, while villa rents exceed 165,000 AED per year.

The registered contracts are ranges from a sample of contracts from January–July 2026, while the listed averages cover 12 months and include smaller and older units, so they are lower.

Main factors affecting rent:

• Space and building age: Larger apartments in newer communities achieve higher rents.

• Proximity to the metro: Units close to DIP 1 station are more in demand among those working outside the park.

• Shared facilities: Pools, gyms, and covered parking increase rental value.

Is Dubai Investments Park suitable for living?

Yes, for those seeking more space at a lower cost and proximity to work areas in South Dubai, bearing in mind that the atmosphere varies greatly between residential communities and adjacent industrial zones.

Schools and educational facilities

The park includes several private schools, such as Greenfield International School, Dove Green Private School, Al Nibras International Private School, and Bright Riders School, as well as nurseries and the University of Balamand – Dubai.

Hospitals and health centers

NMC Royal Hospital is located within the park, along with various clinics and medical centers, while larger hospitals are available in nearby areas.

Markets and daily services

Daily services are distributed between "The Market" center in Green Community and the shops inside Ewan Residences and Ritaj, with supermarkets, restaurants, and hotels within the park. Major shopping centers require car travel.

Transport and main roads

The park is connected to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Jebel Ali – Lehbab Road, and is served by the metro and feeder bus lines.

Advantages and challenges at a glance:

Can foreigners own property in Dubai Investments Park?

Yes, foreigners can purchase residential units in the park, but the nature of the legal right is not the same in all projects, and it must be verified for each property individually.

• Long-term lease model: The developer defines its business model in the park as based on long-term land lease contracts (a main contract for 99 years and sub-contracts for 30 years).

• Usufruct rights for previous projects: Previous residential projects in the park were offered to foreigners with long-term lease rights of up to 85 and 95 years.

• Freehold: Some new projects are marketed as freehold, which must be confirmed in the title deed.

Before buying: Check the type of right registered in the title deed or the registration certificate with the Dubai Land Department (freehold, usufruct, or long-term lease) and its remaining period, as this affects resale value and mortgage eligibility.

Is real estate investment in Dubai Investments Park a good option?

The park is suitable for investors focused on rental income rather than rapid capital appreciation, especially in the studio and one-bedroom segment.

Factors supporting demand:

• A population base exceeding 150,000 residents, many of whom work within the park.

• Proximity to JAFZA, Expo City, and Al Maktoum Airport, which is undergoing phased expansion.

Entry prices are lower than most areas of properties for sale in Dubai.

Illustrative example of gross yield calculation:

Figures are illustrative and do not represent a guaranteed yield. The calculation does not include registration or maintenance fees or vacancy periods.

Apartments or villas? Small apartments usually achieve a higher gross yield with a lower budget, while villas require more capital and achieve a relatively lower yield, but attract family tenants for longer periods.

Risks to consider:

• New supply: Thousands of units being delivered until 2029 may put pressure on rents for older buildings.

• Price fluctuations: Price per sq. ft. index declined by 6.75% over the year.

• Service charges: These vary from building to building and can be checked via the service charge index at the Land Department.

• Type of legal right: Affects liquidity and resale value.
