Jumeirah Lake Towers
Lakeside apartment living beside Dubai Marina
Community guide
Jumeirah Lake Towers, or JLT, is a large mixed use community of residential and commercial towers arranged in clusters around four landscaped lakes, offering some of the best value apartments and rental yields in central Dubai.
Jumeirah Lake Towers, known to residents simply as JLT, is one of Dubai's most established apartment communities. Its towers are arranged in clusters around four landscaped lakes, with cafes, shops and everyday services at street level and two metro stations linking it to the rest of the city. Sitting directly across Sheikh Zayed Road from Dubai Marina, it offers a similar central location at more accessible prices, which has long made it a favourite with tenants, first time buyers and yield focused investors. Homes range from studios to larger three bedroom apartments, and the community is also a DMCC free zone hub, giving it a steady daytime population and reliable rental demand.
