Who lives in Jumeirah?

How far is Jumeirah from Downtown Dubai?

Jumeirah 1 is approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai. Jumeirah 2 and 3 are 20 to 25 minutes. The beachside location and relative proximity to the city centre are key advantages.

Is Jumeirah a good area for rental investment?

Jumeirah suits investors seeking stable, long-term villa tenants from the diplomatic and senior executive community. Yields are moderate at 4 to 6 percent but vacancy is low and tenant quality is high.

Jumeirah is Dubai's original luxury residential suburb, a beachfront district of villas, low-rise apartment buildings, and boutique hotels stretching 15 kilometres along the Arabian Gulf coast. The Jumeirah district encompasses Kite Beach, Jumeirah Beach Road's boutique retail scene, and a density of international schools, embassies, and community facilities. Villa yields of 4 to 6 percent reflect the capital value intensity, but the Jumeirah address commands premium tenant quality and short void periods.
