Of every community Propick tracks through Dubai Land Department (DLD) data, Remraam posts the highest gross rental yield, the lowest price per square metre, and the only 0% off-plan share in the entire set. It is, in other words, the purest cash-flow play in this comparison, and also, honestly, one of the quietest and hardest to reach without a car. This guide uses Propick's own DLD transaction and rent-contract analysis to lay out what a unit costs, what it yields, and where the real trade-offs sit.
Figures below are Propick's own computation from DLD Open Data: ready-resale transactions grouped by master project, with gross yield checked against matched new rental contracts, data as of July 2026.
Overview: Who Remraam Suits
Remraam is a freehold apartment community built by Dubai Properties, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate. The company traces its own history back to 2002, when it began operations as Estithmaar Realty with a single project, Jumeirah Beach Residence, before becoming part of the newly formed Dubai Holding group in 2005 (Dubai Properties, About Us). Today its portfolio spans from JBR and Business Bay to a cluster of family-oriented communities across Dubailand, including The Villa, Serena, Mudon, Al Waha, Villanova, and Remraam (Dubai Properties, Dubailand).
The developer's own description of Remraam is unpretentious: "a choice of spacious 2 and 2+ bedroom apartments" with "state-of-the-art facilities and vast leisure activities," aimed squarely at residents who want space and community amenities over a marquee address (Dubai Properties, Remraam). It is simply a finished, low-rise residential neighborhood, not a community built around a signature attraction.
That combination points to a fairly narrow buyer profile:
- Yield-first investors who want the highest cash return per dirham of any community in Propick's comparison set.
- Budget owner-occupiers who need genuine space (a real two-bedroom, not a compact studio) at the lowest entry price on the market and are comfortable driving everywhere.
- Buyers who value certainty over upside, since the community is fully delivered with a known service-charge and management history, not a construction bet.
It suits far fewer people looking for walkability, nightlife, a metro connection, or a community built around a landmark. Remraam is remote relative to the coast and Downtown, low on retail and dining beyond what is built into the project itself, and entirely car-dependent. That is the honest trade for the numbers below.
Price per Square Metre and Realistic Unit Budgets
According to DLD transaction data, the median price for ready resale apartments in Remraam is 9,957 AED per square metre, based on a full sample of 1,000 tracked transactions. That is the single lowest price per square metre of any community in Propick's comparison set, edging out even Dubai Sports City (10,117 AED/sqm) and Discovery Gardens (10,369 AED/sqm). The median unit price is AED 800,000.
Dividing those two figures implies a typical unit size of roughly 80 square metres, about 865 square feet, which lines up with the developer's own description of "2 and 2+ bedroom apartments" rather than studios. That is real space for the money: the same AED 800,000 stretches to only about 58 sqm in JVC (13,697 AED/sqm), 55 sqm in Al Furjan (14,446 AED/sqm), and just 30 sqm in Downtown Dubai (26,478 AED/sqm). Few communities in Dubai offer a genuine two-bedroom apartment at this price point.
On top of the purchase price, budget for the DLD transfer fee of 4% of the sale price, paid in practice by the buyer on the secondary market, roughly AED 32,000 on the median unit, plus a trustee registration fee and title deed issuance charge. Since Remraam has no active off-plan inventory, every purchase here goes through this standard resale process rather than a developer payment plan.
Rental Yield and the Investor Case
Remraam's gross rental yield stands at 8.9%, based on DLD sale and rent-contract data, the highest of any community Propick tracks, ahead of Dubai Sports City (8.7%) and Discovery Gardens (8.6%), and more than 60% higher than Downtown Dubai (5.1%) or Palm Jumeirah (5.4%).
The arithmetic is straightforward: at 9,957 AED/sqm, achievable rent represents a far larger share of the purchase price than in a 20,000-plus AED/sqm community. Applying the 8.9% yield to the AED 800,000 median unit implies roughly AED 71,200 a year in gross rent, about AED 5,900 a month, for a two-bedroom apartment. That is a meaningfully different underwriting exercise than chasing capital appreciation in a newer, pricier district.
Three caveats apply. First, on sample size: the 9,957 AED/sqm price median above rests on the full 1,000-transaction sample, but the 8.9% yield is a separate calculation, sale prices matched against registered DLD rent contracts for the same 2BR/2+BR unit type, and Propick does not have a disclosed count for that narrower matched-rent sample. Treat the 8.9% figure as directional rather than a large-sample statistic, and verify achieved rents building by building before underwriting. Second, gross yield ignores service charges, void periods, and building-specific condition, and Remraam's stock is older low-rise construction, so maintenance and service-charge history should be checked building by building against DLD's own rent-contract data. And on the UAE Golden Visa route, the threshold is a certified DLD value of at least AED 2,000,000. At Remraam's price levels that implies roughly 201 sqm, well over twice the median unit size, so a single Remraam apartment will not qualify a buyer on its own; reaching the threshold means combining multiple units or looking to a pricier community instead.
Off-Plan Share: What 0% Means
0% of tracked Remraam transactions are off-plan. It is the only community in Propick's comparison set at zero, a sharp contrast to Dubai South (76%), JVT (83%), or Meydan (93%). Every unit that trades here today is a completed, previously handed-over apartment.
That cuts both ways. On the upside, buying in Remraam carries none of the construction-delay or handover risk of an off-plan purchase elsewhere in Dubailand: rental income starts immediately, and the building's age and service-charge history are known quantities, not assumptions. On the downside, zero off-plan share also means no active development pipeline feeding future price growth in Remraam itself. Unlike Villanova or Mudon, where Dubai Properties keeps launching new phases nearby, Remraam is a finished, fixed-size neighborhood. Future appreciation depends on organic resale demand, not a developer bringing fresh product and marketing spend to the area.
Lifestyle, Connectivity and Schools
Remraam sits within Dubai Properties' wider Dubailand portfolio, which the developer describes as delivering "an exceptional combination of world-class leisure, entertainment and sports attractions and family friendly residential communities" across the district as a whole, with individual communities offering "schools, nurseries, medical clinics, and shopping centres" (Dubai Properties, Dubailand). That description covers Dubailand broadly, spanning The Villa, Serena, Mudon, Al Waha and Villanova alongside Remraam; it is not a claim about any specific attraction on Remraam's own doorstep.
That distinction matters for an honest read of the community. Remraam has no golf course of its own the way Dubai Sports City does, no racetrack the way neighboring Motor City does, and no film-studio backlot the way Dubai Studio City does. Its own marketing describes on-site "state-of-the-art facilities and vast leisure activities," low-rise blocks arranged around landscaped courtyards and pools, but it is not built around a destination that draws outside visitors.
On transport, Remraam is not served by a Dubai Metro station; the nearest lines run well to the north and east, and residents rely on the surrounding road network rather than rail (see the RTA's Dubai Metro page for the current network, including the Red and Green lines). This is, plainly, a car-dependent community. Anyone buying here should plan on driving for daily errands, schools, and any evening entertainment, since none of that sits within walking distance the way it might in JLT or Business Bay.

Source: DLD community medians for ready apartments, July 2026 (DLD Open Data - Real Estate Data). Propick computes these figures from the DLD open datasets by grouping ready-resale transactions by master project and taking the median.
The pattern across this table runs in one clear direction: as price per square metre falls, gross yield tends to rise. Remraam sits at the very end of that curve, the cheapest community Propick tracks and correspondingly the highest-yielding. What sets it apart from the other cheap, high-yield communities, Dubai South, JVT, Dubai Sports City, all still carrying substantial off-plan exposure, is that Remraam carries none. It is a finished product with a known yield, not a growth story.
FAQ
Is Remraam a good investment in 2026? For a specific type of buyer, yes. DLD data shows the lowest price per square metre (9,957 AED/sqm) and the highest gross yield (8.9%) of any community Propick tracks, with zero off-plan or construction risk since the community is fully delivered. It suits yield-focused investors and budget owner-occupiers, not buyers seeking capital appreciation, walkability, or a landmark address.
What is the average price per square metre in Remraam? AED 9,957 per square metre for ready apartments, per DLD data as of July 2026, the lowest figure among the roughly two dozen communities in Propick's comparison set. The median ready unit price is AED 800,000.
What rental yield can I expect in Remraam? A gross yield of 8.9%, the highest in this comparison. Applied to the AED 800,000 median unit, that implies roughly AED 71,200 a year in gross rent. Gross yield excludes service charges and vacancy, so verify achieved rents for the specific building before committing.
Is Remraam off-plan or ready property? Entirely ready. 0% of tracked transactions are off-plan, the only community in this comparison at zero. There is no active Dubai Properties development pipeline in Remraam itself, so buying here means buying a completed, previously handed-over apartment.
Does a Remraam apartment qualify for the UAE Golden Visa? Not on its own. The threshold is a certified DLD value of AED 2,000,000, which at Remraam's price levels implies roughly 201 sqm, more than double the median unit size. Buyers would need to combine several units or purchase in a pricier community to qualify.
How much are DLD fees when buying in Remraam? The DLD transfer fee is 4% of the sale price, paid in practice by the buyer, roughly AED 32,000 on the median AED 800,000 unit, plus a trustee registration fee and title deed issuance charge. There is no separate off-plan Oqood process since no off-plan inventory exists here.
