Where to live in Dubai, and what it costs

Rents by tower, deals that never reach the portals, and the fees the listing leaves out.

Join on Telegram See all of them

Dubai rents move by tower, not by district average, and the headline price is rarely the number you pay. We track asking ranges across the towers people actually search for, then flag what the listing leaves out: chiller terms, cheque count, agency commission and the deposit.

  • Asking ranges refreshed weekly, by tower not by area
  • Chiller included or not, stated up front
  • Cheque-count discounts, typically 5 to 10 percent
  • Off-plan handover and payment-plan signals

FAQ

What people ask about Dubai

Is JLT cheaper than Dubai Marina?

Yes, usually by AED 1,500 to 2,500 a month for a comparable studio, which is why JLT is the standard fallback for Marina hunters.

What does chiller not included actually cost?

For a studio, roughly AED 300 to 600 a month in summer. It quietly erases most of a cheap headline rent.

How much should I budget on top of rent?

Five percent agency commission, a five percent refundable deposit, plus DEWA connection. Ejari registration is the landlord side but confirm it in writing.
