What is built in Jumeirah Islands and what is still to come

Of the 15 buildings and communities with pages on our site, 7 are completed and 8 are off-plan or under construction. Six of the completed ones are by Nakheel: Oasis Cluster, European Clusters, Cluster 48, The Mansion, Jumeirah Islands and Miami House Collection. The seventh, Villa VI, is by Segrex Development. The newer launches are Eltiera Views, Serenia District and six residences within Serenia District, with completion dates running from Q1 2027 to Q2 2030.

The sales figures say more about the homes than the building names do. Of the 653 sales, 523 were apartments, 99 were villas or townhouses and 30 were land. The bedroom breakdown covers the 523 apartment sales: one-bedroom apartments led with 277, followed by 173 two-bedroom and 69 three-bedroom apartments, and only 4 were four-bedroom. Villas and townhouses are not split by bedroom count. A buyer should expect recent apartment activity to be centred on smaller units, and most sales overall were off-plan.

Dubai Land Department sales in the latest 12 months

Dubai Land Department recorded 653 sales in Jumeirah Islands over the latest 12 months. Of these, 154 were ready homes and 499 were off-plan. The median sale price was AED 3,085,000, the median price was AED 2,504.86 per sq ft, and the most recent sale was on 2026-05-11. You can browse registered transactions on our site, and our methodology page explains how these figures are counted.

An area median sits in the middle of every sale counted. Here that mixes apartments, villas, townhouses and land, completed homes and off-plan homes, and units of very different sizes. It shows roughly where the area sits, but it does not tell you what one particular unit is worth. For that, ask for registered sales of the same type and size in the same building, with their dates.

What sellers were asking in October 2026

These are asking prices seen in listings over the latest 90 days, not sale prices, and a buyer may agree a different figure. In October 2026, one-bedroom homes were listed at typical asking prices of AED 1,940,000 to AED 2,266,000, with a median of AED 2,166,000 across 68 listings. Two-bedroom homes were listed at AED 3,137,000 to AED 3,977,000, with a median of AED 3,513,000 across 52 listings. Three-bedroom homes were listed at AED 4,583,000 to AED 6,422,000, with a median of AED 4,684,000 across 34 listings.

Four-bedroom homes sit in a different range, at typical asking prices of AED 21,375,000 to AED 29,950,000, with a median of AED 24,950,000 across 52 listings. The registered bedroom breakdown covers apartments only, so it does not show how many four-bedroom homes of other types were sold. Do not compare these asking prices directly with the area median sale price of AED 3,085,000.

Buildings and communities worth comparing

Start with the completed communities, where you can see what you are buying:

• Oasis Cluster, completed in 2006, by Nakheel
• European Clusters, completed in 2006, by Nakheel
• Cluster 48, completed in 2006, by Nakheel
• The Mansion, completed in Q1 2012, by Nakheel
• Jumeirah Islands, the community page, completed in Q1 2012, by Nakheel
• Miami House Collection, completed in Q4 2023, by Nakheel
• Villa VI, completed in 2025, by Segrex Development

Then the newer launches, which follow a developer's schedule:

• Eltiera Views, off-plan, due Q4 2029, by Ellington Properties
• Serenia District, off-plan, due Q1 2027, by Palma Homes Real Estate
• The West Residence at Serenia District, under construction, due Q4 2028, by Palma Holding
• East Residence 4 At Serenia District, under construction, due Q2 2030, by Palma Holding

Listing activity differs a lot between them. Over the latest 90 days there were 103 listings for Eltiera Views, 57 for Serenia District and 51 for Oasis Cluster, the three highest counts here.

The developers with the most projects here

Nakheel has 6 projects here on our site, all of them completed. Ellington Properties, Palma Homes Real Estate and Segrex Development have 1 each. The six residences within Serenia District are listed under Palma Holding, so check which Palma company signs your contract.

How to choose between buildings in Jumeirah Islands

Decide on ready or off-plan first, because the two are different purchases. Of the 653 registered sales, 154 were ready and 499 were off-plan. A ready home can be viewed, measured and inspected now. An off-plan home depends on a payment schedule and a handover date, and the stated dates run from Q1 2027 to Q2 2030.

Next, compare size and price per square foot on the same basis. Ask every seller for the exact internal area and for any balcony or garden area, then divide the price yourself. The area median of AED 2,504.86 per sq ft is a background figure, not a target.

Ask each owners' association or developer what the service charges are and what they cover. Ask how parking is allocated. View the actual unit rather than a similar one, check what you can see from its windows, and visit at different times of day, for example a weekday morning, the evening and a weekend, so you notice noise and traffic.

Finally, compare two or three buildings on one written list. Put the same questions to every seller or developer, note the answers with dates, and judge the differences only when the list is complete. A building that looks cheaper per square foot can carry higher service charges or a later handover, and you only see that when the answers sit side by side.

A checklist for buying in Jumeirah Islands

Most recent sales here were off-plan, but 7 of our 15 buildings are completed, so the list covers both.

1. Decide whether you are buying a completed home or an off-plan one, and use only the steps that apply.
2. Ask for the exact unit: number, floor, internal and outdoor area, and floor plan, and compare them with the listing you saw.
3. For a completed home, ask to see the title deed and confirm that the seller's name matches the owner on it.
4. Ask for the owners' association service charge budget and what it covers, and ask whether any charges are unpaid.
5. For off-plan, check that the sale is registered in Oqood, the Dubai Land Department system for off-plan contracts.
6. Ask for the escrow account details of the project and pay only into that account.
7. Get the developer's dated payment schedule and the stated handover date in writing.
8. Before accepting keys from a developer, arrange a snagging inspection and list every defect in writing.
9. If you will rent the home out, remember that the tenant's contract is registered in Ejari.
10. Complete the transfer through Dubai Land Department and check that the new title deed carries your name.
