Highlights
About Reem
Reem is a gated, family-focused freehold community developed by Emaar Properties, launched in 2013 in the south-east of Arabian Ranches 2, close to Al Qudra Road. It was the first residential community in Dubai to feature a large dedicated central park, and its architecture draws on Mediterranean and Arabic design themes with modern interiors across low-rise villas and townhouses. Note the naming: this is distinct from “Reem Townhouses” at Town Square, a separate Emaar-adjacent development elsewhere in Dubai.
Reem in a nutshell
Reem suits families wanting an established, park-centred, low-rise townhouse and villa community within the wider, well-regarded Arabian Ranches masterplan, at a price point generally below Arabian Ranches’ own original phase. It is a genuinely suburban address: Dubai Internet City Metro Station is around 20 minutes by car, and Al Qudra Road runs close by, giving access toward central Dubai.
Neighbourhood
Property types and sub-communities
Stock is 3- and 4-bedroom townhouses and villas, designed in a Mediterranean and Arabic architectural style with modern interiors. Reem Townhouses proper range from around AED 1.8M to AED 3M. Mira Oasis, Emaar’s own sub-project within Reem Community, adds a further 2,354 units across three phases (Mira Oasis 1, 2 and 3) — 1,350 townhouses across 7 three-bedroom and 3 four-bedroom layouts, organised around a central community centre and amenities podium.
Freehold status — who can buy
Reem is freehold, part of the wider Arabian Ranches 2 masterplan, open to all nationalities. Like several other newer, master-developer-led communities, its freehold designation was added after the original schedule to Regulation No. 3 of 2006. As with any Dubai freehold purchase, confirm a specific unit’s registration status via DLD or the Dubai REST app before signing.
Golden Visa eligibility
The property-investor Golden Visa requires a Dubai Land Department valuation of at least AED 2,000,000. On Reem’s own townhouse pricing (roughly AED 1.8M to AED 3M), the upper end of the range clears the threshold, and Mira Oasis stock — averaging AED 3.68M on Bayut’s own listings — clears it comfortably. Confirm a specific unit’s DLD valuation rather than assuming eligibility from an asking price.
Handover and completion status
Reem is a mature, largely delivered community, launched in 2013 and now well-established within the wider Arabian Ranches 2 masterplan. Supply here is settled rather than expanding — buyers get a finished community rather than a building site.
Sales trends and price per square foot
Reem Townhouses proper are priced roughly AED 1.8M to AED 3M. Bayut’s own listings for Mira Oasis specifically — a named Reem sub-project, not a separate community — put residential sale prices between AED 2,800,000 and AED 5,500,000, averaging AED 3,679,982 over the trailing six months.
Rental trends and demand drivers
Bayut’s own listings for Mira Oasis put villa rents between AED 150,000 and AED 240,000 a year, averaging AED 180,818; townhouses in the neighbouring Mira sub-project average AED 201,097. General coverage separately notes Reem has historically been cited among the top areas to rent affordable villas and townhouses in Dubai, per Bayut and Dubizzle’s rental reporting. Demand is driven by families wanting an established, park-centred community within the well-regarded Arabian Ranches masterplan at a lower price than the original Arabian Ranches phase.
Gross rental yield
Bayut’s own figures put villa ROI in Mira Oasis at 5.62% — a directly Bayut-sourced figure for a named Reem sub-project, not a general-market estimate. Dividing Bayut’s own Mira Oasis average rent (AED 180,818) by its own average sale price (AED 3,679,982) gives a broadly consistent Fidu-calculated figure of roughly 4.9%. Both point to a steady, mid-single-digit yield typical of an established family villa and townhouse community.
Service charges — what you’ll actually pay
Service charges vary by cluster and are published per property on Mollak, RERA’s official service-charge platform — your Fidu agent will confirm the exact figure for any unit you are considering.
Transport, Metro and parking
Dubai Internet City Metro Station is the nearest, roughly 20 minutes away by car. Al Qudra Road runs close to the community, giving access toward central Dubai. Private driveway parking is standard across the community’s townhouses and villas.
Schools and nurseries near Reem
Reem is served by schools and nurseries in the surrounding Arabian Ranches masterplan: Raffles Nursery in Arabian Ranches 2, and Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) roughly 6 to 7 minutes away in Arabian Ranches — a short school run by Dubai standards. Nursery fees in this general area typically run AED 30,000 to AED 45,000 annually, per general published coverage.
Amenities, healthcare and everyday services
Reem’s own community amenities include a football field, basketball and volleyball courts, a skate park, restaurants and cafés, children’s play areas and an open-air amphitheatre cinema. For larger everyday needs, the wider Arabian Ranches masterplan’s own retail is close at hand.
Lifestyle
Dining, retail and leisure
Reem’s own retail outlets, cafés and fitness centres cover day-to-day needs within the community. The open-air amphitheatre cinema is a distinctive community-level leisure amenity.
Landmarks and things to do
Reem’s large central park — the first of its kind in a Dubai residential community when the project launched — is the community’s defining landmark, alongside its skate park and sports courts.
Outdoor space
Reem’s central park is genuinely central to the community’s identity and design, alongside sports courts, play areas and green landscaping throughout — a strong outdoor-space offering relative to most communities in this guide series.
What to know before you commit
Reem is best suited to families who want a settled, park-centred community inside the Arabian Ranches masterplan and are happy to drive — Al Qudra Road runs close by, giving access toward central Dubai, and Dubai Internet City Metro Station is around 20 minutes away. Bayut’s strongest figures here are published at sub-project level, Mira Oasis in particular, which gives a precise read on a specific cluster: your Fidu agent will confirm which sub-project a listing belongs to, and that you are looking at Emaar’s Reem Community at Arabian Ranches 2 rather than the similarly named Reem Townhouses at Town Square.
Location
How Reem compares to Arabian Ranches and Mudon
Arabian Ranches, the original phase of the wider masterplan Reem sits within, offers a more established, higher-priced villa community with a longer track record, at a premium to Reem’s own townhouse pricing. Mudon offers a similarly affordable, family-focused, park-centred townhouse and villa alternative under a different developer, roughly comparable in price and profile to Reem. Choose Reem for Emaar’s Arabian Ranches masterplan pedigree and its distinctive central park at a lower price than the original Ranches phase; choose Arabian Ranches for a more established, premium alternative; choose Mudon for a similarly priced neighbour under a different developer.
Getting to and from Reem
Al Qudra Road runs close to Reem, giving access toward central Dubai. Dubai Internet City Metro Station, roughly 20 minutes away by car, is the nearest fixed-schedule public transport option.
Is Reem a good investment?
The case rests on Emaar’s Arabian Ranches masterplan pedigree and a genuinely distinctive central-park amenity, at a lower entry price than the original Arabian Ranches phase. Bayut’s own directly sourced figures for Mira Oasis — 5.62% villa ROI, an average sale price of AED 3.68M — point to a steady yield typical of an established family community, consistent with Reem’s settled, mature character. Your Fidu agent will get you current, DLD-verified pricing, confirm the specific sub-project (Reem Townhouses, Mira, or Mira Oasis), and confirm you are looking at this community rather than a similarly named one elsewhere.
