Transport
The railway reaches Dubai at Jumeirah Golf Estates
A passenger station on the edge of Jumeirah Golf Estates, a bridge being built to the metro, and three Dubai districts whose registered record this site publishes. It also names Jumeirah Golf Estates, whose registered record is published on the community's own site and is in the table below. Here is what the announcement says, and what those homes have actually been selling and renting for.
For most of its life the Etihad Rail passenger service has been something happening somewhere else. That changes at the end of this month, on the southern edge of the city, at a station named after the district it stands in. Etihad Rail's own name for the station is different. This site calls it by the community it serves.
What follows is the announcement in the words of the people who made it, and beneath it the Land Department's own record of what homes in the districts it names have sold and let for. The two are printed side by side and nothing here joins them up. That is the reader's own judgement to make.

The middle figure is printed and the range is not. The rent register holds a small number of yearly rents that cannot be rents, and until they are dealt with a range would take its top end from one of them.

The Jumeirah Golf Estates site, community by community
The source names these communities among those near the station. Its own words are "Some of these include", so this is a list of examples and not a complete one.
The source also names Jumeirah Golf Estates. The register for that one is published on the community's own site rather than here, and the name opens its own page.
The source also names Dubai Investment Park (DIP), Green Community and Expo City Dubai. This site does not publish the register for them yet, so no figure for them appears on this page.
This section states what has been publicly announced, with the source and the date it was read, and puts the Dubai Land Department's register beside it. It does not forecast, it does not predict a price, and it does not claim that any announcement moved any figure. What to make of the two is the reader's own judgement.
