Is Arjan a Good Investment in 2026?
The short answer: Yes — especially for off-plan and rental income strategies.
- Rental Yield: 7–9% gross — one of the highest in Dubai. The city average is ~6%. Studios and 1-bedrooms command the strongest yields.
- Capital Growth: +18–25% since 2022, with further upside projected as the community matures.
- ROI (5-year): Investors who bought in 2021 for AED 500,000 are seeing properties valued at AED 620,000–650,000 today, plus rental income — a combined ROI of 40–55% over 4 years.
- Liquidity: Good for mid-market price points. Studios and 1BHKs in the AED 500K–900K range sell quickly.
- Entry Price: An investor can enter Arjan from AED 450,000 — significantly below prime Dubai areas.
At Astraterra, our recommendation: Arjan is best suited for investors seeking income now + capital gain later. Off-plan units with 60/40 payment plans offer the best entry points in 2026.
