48 new-build studios and apartments starting below AED 1 million, from AED 502K in Ajman to Business Bay and JVC in Dubai.
Buying Under AED 1 Million
Dubai still has plenty of new-build homes below AED 1 million, mostly studios and 1-bedroom apartments in fast-growing communities such as JVC, JVT, Al Jaddaf, Arjan, Dubai Sports City, Downtown Jebel Ali and Dubailand, plus Ajman and Sharjah for even lower entry prices.
Smaller units like these are popular with first-time investors because they rent quickly and need less capital. Many come with easy plans, such as 1% a month or post-handover terms. Prices below are the lowest current starting prices we have, usually for a studio; ask us for live availability.

Tips for Buying Below AED 1 Million
- Look at total cost: add 4% DLD (Dubai), admin and Oqood fees, and annual service charges.
- Check the developer: a lower price is only good value if the project is delivered on time and to standard.
- Rental demand: studios near metro stations, business districts and universities tend to rent fastest.
- Payment plan: compare how much you pay before handover; some projects let you pay up to half after you get the keys.
- Golden Visa: the AED 2 million threshold can be met by combining more than one property; ask us how.
