Any property type, anywhere in Dubai
Find your kind of home
Whether it's a family villa, a trophy mansion, a skyline penthouse or an off-plan investment, explore the guide, the pricing and the best communities for each.
Choosing the right property type in Dubai
The right home depends on how you'll use it. Families gravitate to villas and townhouses in gated communities; investors often prefer apartments and off-plan for yield and a lower entry price; buyers after a trophy asset look to mansions, penthouses and branded residences. Foreign nationals can own any of these outright in Dubai's freehold areas. Explore each type above, then speak with an EQT advisor to match a property to your budget, timeline and goals.
