FAQ

Where is Al Barsha South 2?

Al Barsha South 2 sits in the Barsha South belt between Al Barsha South 1 and Al Barsha South 3 (better known as Arjan), inland from Umm Suqeim Road with quick access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Dubai Science Park lies within the district.

What is the difference between Al Barsha South 2 and Arjan?

Arjan is the marketing name for Al Barsha South 3 — the neighbouring, more built-out community with Miracle Garden and most of the belt's new towers. Al Barsha South 2 is quieter, anchored by Dubai Science Park offices and labs, with a growing pipeline of mid-market apartment launches at slightly lower per-sqft pricing than Arjan.

Is Al Barsha South 2 a good place to invest?

The case is employment-anchored demand: Dubai Science Park tenants want to live near work, and the belt's typical yields around 7% are above the Dubai average. The trade-off is construction activity across the belt and heavy competing supply next door in Arjan, which caps near-term price growth.

What can foreigners buy in Al Barsha South 2?

The Barsha South belt is freehold-eligible for foreign buyers — apartments in the district's new launches can be owned 100% by any nationality, registered at the Dubai Land Department. See our guide to buying property in Dubai as a foreigner for the process and costs.
