In a testament to Dubai’s thriving real estate market, the Palm Jumeirah neighborhood has emerged as the frontrunner in rental price surges, witnessing an unprecedented 63% increase in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year.
According to the latest Espace Real Estate Q1 2024 Market Report, the average rent for villas and townhouses in Palm Jumeirah skyrocketed from AED 656,114 in Q1 2023 to approximately AED 1.07 million in Q1 2024. This remarkable surge underscores the enduring allure and premium status of this iconic community.
The surge in rental prices isn’t confined to Palm Jumeirah alone; several key Dubai neighborhoods experienced substantial increases, reflecting the city’s status as a global hub for business, tourism, and luxury living.
Dubai Hills secured the second spot with a remarkable 36% year-on-year increase, witnessing average rental prices climbing from AED 238,626 to AED 325,130. Following closely, The Meadows experienced a significant 35% hike, with rates escalating from AED 252,867 to AED 341,524.

Other notable increases were observed in Jumeirah Golf Estates (24% increase), Damac Hills (21% increase), and Mudon (20% increase). The Springs, Jumeirah Park, Arabian Ranches, and Lakes also experienced significant rental price growth, ranging from 15% to 19%.
While most communities witnessed double-digit increases, some areas saw more moderate growth. Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches 2, Town Square, Al Furjan, and Mira/Reem recorded increases between 11% and 12%, while Victory Heights and Arabian Ranches 3 saw the smallest increases of 5% and 4%, respectively.
The robust performance of Dubai’s rental market underscores the city’s enduring appeal as a destination for high-quality residential properties, attracting both investors and tenants alike. As demand remains robust, landlords have adjusted rental rates to capitalize on this trend, further solidifying Dubai’s position as a global real estate hotspot.
