Cheapest 3BR Apartments in Dubai 2026

DLD data for July 2026 shows a substantial price range for three-bedroom apartments across Dubai’s more affordable districts. International City leads the ranking with a median price of AED 1,362,000, while eighth-ranked Jebel Ali stands at AED 2,384,000. For family buyers, affordability is not just about the entry price: the total cost should be considered alongside price per square foot and transaction count. The supplied yield figure is 0.0% for every area, so it cannot support a meaningful investment conclusion.

International City ranks first with a median price of AED 1,362,000, AED 610 per sq ft and 85 transactions. It offers both the lowest entry price and the lowest PSF in the ranking; the trade-off is a relatively limited evidence base, making close comparison with recent comparable units particularly important. Motor City is second at AED 1,523,000, AED 777 per sq ft and 59 transactions. Buyers pay more than in the leading district and face the smallest transaction sample within the top five. Dubai Production City (IMPZ) ranks third with a median of AED 1,903,000, AED 1,083 per sq ft and 90 transactions. It remains near the affordable end of the table, although the price gap from the first two areas is already clear. Town Square is fourth at AED 1,914,000, AED 1,128 per sq ft and 321 transactions. Its trade-off is the highest PSF in the top five, balanced by the largest transaction count in this group. Al Furjan completes the top five with a median of AED 1,953,000, AED 1,080 per sq ft and 107 transactions. Its total price is above Town Square’s, while its PSF is slightly lower—an useful reminder to assess the ticket price and unit-area cost together. The supplied DLD figures do not explain the causes of these price differences, so attributing them to infrastructure, building age or project quality would require additional evidence.

Compare each unit against both the district median and PSF: a low total price may reflect the unit’s size or property-specific characteristics. Before paying, verify the documents, apartment condition, mandatory charges and transaction terms. Do not treat the 0.0% yield shown here as a usable return estimate; an investment calculation requires verified rental and cost data.
