Town Square Dubai: Prices, Rents & Yields (2026 Guide)
By Marcus Thorne, Licensed Agent, First Call Real Estate | Last updated: September 19, 2026
Quick answer: Town Square Dubai is a 750-acre freehold community by Nshama in Dubailand, on Al Qudra Road not Dubai South. As of September 2026, studio apartments start at AED 607,000 on Bayut, with gross yields ranging from 5.7% for townhouses to 7.45% for mid-tier apartments. The community has no metro access and remains under active construction.
When you’re weighing a community like this, you deserve clarity, not a sales pitch. You deserve verified numbers, not speculative forecasts.
Town Square Dubai sits in Dubailand, directly on Al Qudra Road (D63), next to established neighborhoods like DAMAC Hills and Remraam. It is not located in Dubai South. Getting this geography right is the first step toward properly underwriting the community, and it’s where too many overviews go wrong.
This guide corrects the record. You’ll find dated asking-versus-sold prices, a cluster-by-cluster breakdown that goes deeper than most competing pages, an honest read on build-out status, and a straight answer on real rental yield. Town Square appeals to mid-market families and yield-focused investors alike, but it carries two trade-offs worth naming upfront: it’s car-dependent, and parts of it are still under construction. Once you understand those realities, you can evaluate the numbers on their own terms.

What Is Town Square Dubai?
Nshama launched Town Square Dubai in March 2015. It’s a 750-acre master-planned community in Dubailand, built along Al Qudra Road, positioned as a park-led, family-first entry point into the Dubai real estate market.
The masterplan is large by any measure. Reported completion figures vary depending on the source, but the total build-out targets roughly 18,000 apartments and 3,000 to 3,500 townhouses. Town Square Dubai properties are aimed primarily at families and young professionals who want green space and community retail at a price point well below Dubai’s coastal neighborhoods. Given the volume of units delivered and still to come it stands as one of the highest-density suburban developments in the Dubai property market.
Where Is Town Square Dubai, and How Do You Get Around?
Town Square Dubai sits directly on Al Qudra Road (D63), which connects to Emirates Road (E611) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). For a closer look at how it compares with neighboring communities along the same corridor, see our Al Qudra corridor comparison.
Here’s the fact buyers need before anything else: there is no metro station inside or near the community. Residents rely on private vehicles, RTA feeder buses, and taxis.
That makes Town Square distinctly car-dependent. Under normal traffic, expect roughly 25 minutes to Downtown Dubai, 25 minutes to Dubai Marina, and 25 to 30 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB). This commute is the trade-off you accept in exchange for the community’s affordability and its scale of green space not a downside to gloss over, but a factor to price into your decision.
What Are the Apartment and Townhouse Clusters in Town Square Dubai?
Navigating Nshama Town Square’s sub-developments takes some unpacking. The community splits cleanly into apartment blocks and townhouse enclaves, each with its own character.
Which apartment clusters are in Town Square Dubai?
Town Square’s apartment clusters vary by launch year, finish quality, and proximity to the central park:
- Rawda and Una: Known for modern layouts. Una specifically introduced a co-living and co-working concept aimed at young professionals.
- Jenna and Warda: Positioned directly overlooking the central park and retail plaza.
- Hayat Boulevard, Zahra Breeze, Safi, and Zahra: Earlier-phase deliveries offering an established community feel and, in many cases, larger floor plans.
Which townhouse clusters are in Town Square Dubai?
For buyers who want land, Town Square townhouses offer private gardens across a range of layouts. Our Nakheel townhouse guide provides useful context on this asset class more broadly.
The verified townhouse clusters are Sama, Safi, Naseem, Noor, Hayat, and Zahra, ranging from three to four bedrooms. “Reem” occasionally appears on third-party portal listings, but confirm the exact cluster name against the DLD title deed before you commit naming conventions get confused between brokers more often than you’d expect.
We’re publishing a dedicated comparison of these townhouse clusters in the coming weeks.
What Does an Apartment or Townhouse Cost in Town Square Dubai in 2026?
The most costly mistake an investor can make here is confusing a portal asking price with a registered DLD transaction value. Current 2026 listings frequently sit above what properties actually transfer for sometimes by 8% to 12%.
The table below separates Bayut asking prices from 12-month DLD sold averages, so your underwriting starts from reality rather than a listing price.
Table 1 — Price, Rent and Yield (Verified September 2026)
| Type | Asking Price (Bayut) | DLD Sold Avg (12mo) | Avg Asking Rent | Gross Yield (Asking/Asking) |
| Studio | AED 607,000 | AED 550,000 | AED 47,000 | 7.74% |
| 1BR Apartment | AED 1,005,000 | AED 900,000 | AED 67,000 | 6.66% |
| 2BR Apartment | AED 1,500,000 | AED 1,256,000 | AED 103,000 | 6.86% |
| 3BR Apartment | AED 2,278,000 | AED 2,050,000 | AED 140,000 | 6.14% |
| 3BR Townhouse | AED 2,960,000 | AED 2,600,000 | AED 175,000 | 5.91% |
| 4BR Townhouse | AED 3,671,000 | AED 3,200,000 | AED 210,000 | 5.72% |

What Is the Rental Yield in Town Square Dubai?
According to Bayut’s H1 2026 market report, Town Square achieves up to 7.45% gross yield on mid-tier apartments. Different calculation methods produce different numbers, and it matters which one you’re reading.
Calculated as current asking rent over current asking price, one- and two-bedroom apartments generate 6.7% to 6.9% gross. Townhouse yields sit lower, typically 5.7% to 5.9% gross, because the capital entry point is substantially higher relative to rent.
What does yield actually net an investor?
Gross yield tells you what a property earns before costs. Net yield tells you what it actually pays you. Here’s a worked example on a two-bedroom apartment:
- Purchase Price: AED 1,256,000 (DLD average)
- Gross Rent: AED 103,000
- Service charges (approx. AED 15/sq ft on a 900 sq ft unit): AED 13,500
- Property management fee (5% of rent): AED 5,150
- Vacancy and maintenance allowance: AED 4,000
- Net Income: AED 80,350
- Net Yield: 6.39%
Choose gross yield if you’re comparing communities at a glance. Choose net yield if you’re deciding whether the investment actually clears your target return. For a fuller breakdown of valuation and ROI mechanics, see our property valuation guide.
Is Town Square Dubai Still Under Construction?
Yes. The masterplan remains active. Kaya, Lexington, and Elaya are currently under construction, targeting handovers through Q3 and Q4 of 2026, subject to final confirmation from Nshama.
The practical consequence is straightforward: continued handovers mean continued rental supply entering the micro-market. That gives tenants leverage and can press rents downward in the short term a factor worth weighing before you underwrite future rent growth.
Off-plan payment plans, such as 50/50 splits, are available on primary inventory, but verify the specific schedule for each building release directly with the developer before you commit. Our off-plan payment plans guide walks through how these structures typically work.
What Amenities Does Town Square Dubai Offer?
The community’s identity rests on its outdoor space. The central park anchors daily life here, and it’s the social hub for most residents.
Confirmed amenities include the Wave Rider surf simulator, a skate park, a trampoline park, a children’s carousel, a fenced dog park, and a growing retail promenade with supermarkets, cafes, and pharmacies. An extensive trail network draws runners and cyclists throughout the year. These amenities matter, but they’re not the differentiator the price point at which you access them is.
What Schools and Nurseries Serve Town Square Dubai?
Family infrastructure is maturing steadily. Dubai International Academy (DIA) Town Square, an IB curriculum school, reportedly opened for the August 2026 academic year confirm current KHDA inspection status before enrolling.
For an established, rated option, GEMS Metropole School – Al Waha sits roughly 3.6 km away and holds a KHDA “Good” rating. For early years, Numu and Maple Bear nurseries operate inside the community.
One note on ongoing costs: service charges are not a flat community rate. RERA publishes them per property on the Mollak system. Verify the exact AED/sq ft rate for your specific building or cluster before you buy.

How Does Town Square Compare With DAMAC Hills 2 and Mudon?
Buyers evaluating the Al Qudra corridor often weigh Town Square against these two alternatives.
Table 2 — Town Square vs. DAMAC Hills 2 vs. Mudon

Choose Town Square if you want the widest mix of unit types at the lowest entry price. Choose DAMAC Hills 2 if townhouse affordability is your top priority. Choose Mudon if you want a more established community and can absorb a higher entry cost. For a deeper look at the most affordable option on this list, read our DAMAC Hills 2 guide.
Golden Visa Eligibility and Buying Costs
Investors purchasing property in Town Square have a direct route to the UAE Golden Visa once their total real estate investment reaches AED 2,000,000. In this community, that threshold is easily achievable through a three- or four-bedroom townhouse, or by combining the value of multiple apartment units.
Budget for standard Dubai transaction costs: the 4% DLD transfer fee, agency commissions, and trustee registration fees. As a designated freehold zone, foreign expats can buy here with full ownership rights. For the complete legal and financial process, see our buying costs guide and freehold ownership guide.
The Bottom Line on Town Square Dubai
Town Square Dubai is an accessible, park-centered family community. It also carries real trade-offs: it’s car-dependent, sections remain under construction, and incoming supply will keep testing the rental market. Your return depends on which cluster you buy into and the entry price you secure not on the community name alone.
