Dubai South prices: what homes by the new airport actually registered
This page is for owners and buyers in Dubai South. It explains what the Dubai Land Department's register of completed sales says about prices here, in plain words, and every figure in it comes from that register.
See what homes like yours really sold for, in your building and your community, from the Land Department's own record.
Dubai South is a young, fast-growing part of the city built around Al Maktoum International Airport, and its register reads like a place that is still filling up. The Land Department registered its first resale here in 2011, and there are 3,454 registered resales in total.
In the twelve months to 3 September 2026, the Dubai Land Department registered 1,004 resales across Dubai South, spread over 46 buildings and projects that changed hands in that year. The busiest was Mag 5 Boulevard with 102 registered resales at a middle price of AED 655,000; then Rr Residence (88 resales, middle price AED 776,196) and Celestia (72 resales, middle price AED 550,000).
One place, two names in the register
The Land Department writes this district under two names, Dubai South Residential District and Dubai World Central, and to anyone living here they are the same place. The Desk publishes both together and says so, because both are the register's own words. Expo City sits in the same stretch of the map and is a separate name in the register, so its sales are counted separately and never added to a Dubai South price.
Why the building matters more than the district
The prices above are all in Dubai South and they are far apart. Apartment blocks, townhouses and detached villas were finished in different years to different specifications, and one district-wide figure would sit between them and describe none of them. The Desk prints the figure building by building and project by project, with the count of registered sales beside it so you can see how much each one rests on.
How to read a young register
The Desk prints a middle price where a building registered at least eight resales in the year, a range where it registered three to seven, and only a count below that. That bar matters more here than in a settled district: somewhere handed over recently may have registered a handful of resales, and a handful is a fact about a few homes rather than a price for the building.
The free desk page carries every building with its twelve-month count, middle price, range and rate per square foot. The paid record carries the year-by-year history and every registered sale, one row at a time.
Questions people ask
How many properties sold in Dubai South in the last year?
The Dubai Land Department registered 1,004 resales across Dubai South in the twelve months to 3 September 2026.
What is the median price in Dubai South?
It depends where: Mag 5 Boulevard registered a middle price of AED 655,000 and Celestia one of AED 550,000 in the twelve months to 3 September 2026. The Desk does not print one district-wide figure, because it would hide that spread.
Is Expo City part of Dubai South on this desk?
No. The Land Department records Expo City under its own name, so its registrations are counted separately and are never part of a Dubai South figure.
