Dubai's cheapest active apartment market
Dubai Studio City is where the lowest entry prices in an active district sit: 1,125 sales in the last twelve months at an average of AED 787,690 — the only community in this group averaging under a million. Studios make up 671 of those sales and one-bedrooms a further 385. There is also an unusual hotel-room component, 168 sales, reflecting the district's media-production origins. At AED 1,824 per square foot the rate is not low; the prices are low because the units are small.

Why invest in Dubai Studio City
Low ticket does not mean low rate: AED 1,824 per square foot is above several mid-market districts. What you are buying is a small unit at an accessible total price, so the yield case rests on rent per unit against a low purchase price rather than on cheap square footage.
