Jumeirah Village Triangle Area Guide: Villas, Rent and Map

About JVT

JVT is a freehold residential community by Nakheel in Al Barsha South, in the new suburbs of west Dubai. It sits between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Khail Road (E44), next to Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), and is about 27 km by road from Downtown Dubai.

Whether you want to rent a flat in JVT, buy one of its villas or simply understand what it is like, this JVT area guide covers its districts and buildings, real rents and prices, daily life and whether it suits you. To compare it with other communities, see all our Dubai area guides.

JVT Highlights

Here is what you will want to know first, from homes and schools to shops and the drive out.

JVT Districts and Popular Buildings

JVT is split into nine numbered districts. The district tells you what kind of home you will find: some are mostly towers of flats, others are only villas and townhouses.

The districts of JVT

These are the six districts people search for most. Each card shows how many homes were rented and sold there in the last three months*, unless it says otherwise.

The other three districts are smaller in the records:

• District 3: flats, such as FH Residency and the Terhab towers, and JVT's two hotels.
• District 6: townhouses, such as Al Burooj Residence, and the site of the mall that is being built.
• District 7: flats, such as Maya 1 and Zazen One.

Popular buildings in JVT

Each card shows the middle figure of what new tenants paid and what flats sold for in the last 12 months*: half of the homes cost more, and half cost less.

Rent in JVT

A studio in JVT rents for about AED 44,000 a year, and a one-bedroom flat for about AED 68,500 ($18,700 · £14,100). A small Nakheel townhouse costs about AED 120,000, and a Nakheel villa about AED 212,500. These are what new tenants paid, from the Land Department's records, not asking prices.

Apartments for rent in JVT

You have plenty of choice: about 990 flats were up for rent when this guide was last updated*, mostly in Districts 1 to 5. A tenant who renews usually pays less, so do not expect the rent the last tenant paid.

Furnished and monthly flats are easy to find here. About 530 furnished flats were advertised, and 35 by the month. A monthly flat is a good way to stay in JVT while you look for a yearly home.

Studios for rent in JVT

Most new studio contracts in JVT were between AED 36,000 and AED 55,000 a year. Older blocks cost less than the new towers, so compare buildings before you compare flats. Al Jawhara Residences is a whole tower of studios, so it is a good first place to look.

Ask whether parking and the chiller (air conditioning) are included in the rent.

One- and two-bedroom flats for rent in JVT

Most new tenants paid between AED 53,000 and AED 87,000 a year for a one-bedroom flat, and between AED 78,000 and AED 135,000 for a two-bedroom flat. Ask how many cheques the landlord accepts, because one or two cheques can get you a lower rent.

Villas for rent in JVT

JVT's villas are Nakheel's original houses, built in Arabian and Mediterranean styles on plots of about 7,000 sq ft. The Land Department lists almost all of them as two-bedroom villas of 2,691 sq ft. Many owners have since added bedrooms, which is why adverts offer three-, four- and five-bedroom villas in JVT.

That is also why villa rents vary so much. Most new tenants paid between AED 180,000 and AED 425,000 a year in the last 12 months*. A villa in its first shape rents near the bottom of that range, and an extended villa with a pool near the top. District 9 has only villas and townhouses, and no blocks of flats.

Few villas are free at a time: about 85 were up for rent when this guide was last updated*.

• Dubizzle: all homes for rent in JVT

Townhouses for rent in JVT

There are three kinds of townhouse in JVT:

• Nakheel's small townhouses (1,636 sq ft): the records list them as one-bedroom homes. They are the cheapest house you can rent here.
• Nakheel's larger townhouses (2,992 sq ft): mostly in District 9 and District 6.
• Newer three- and four-bedroom townhouses by other developers: such as Al Burooj Residence in District 6. They rent for about the same as a villa.

Only about 30 townhouses were up for rent when this guide was last updated*. Agents often list them as villas, so search both.

Rooms, partitions and bed spaces in JVT

Rooms and bed spaces are hard to find in JVT: only one room was advertised when this guide was last updated*, a private room in a villa at AED 4,950 a month. Most homes are let whole, and sharing a home needs a permit under Dubai's shared housing law. See rooms for rent in JVT on Dubizzle.

Property for Sale in JVT

A one-bedroom flat in JVT sells for about AED 1.15 million ($313,000 · £236,000), and a Nakheel villa for about AED 5.6 million. Flats earn their owners about 7.4% of the price in rent each year, more than the Dubai average for flats of 6.1%. Most flats sold are not built yet: three in four sales in the last three months* were off-plan.

*This guide was last updated on 16 October 2026, using Dubai Land Department records up to 15 October 2026. Dollar ($) and pound (£) amounts use AED 3.6725 to the US dollar and AED 4.8733 to the British pound (XE mid-market rate, 15 October 2026); your bank's rate will differ.

Apartments for sale in JVT

A ready flat costs much less than a new one. In the last three months*, ready studios sold for about AED 570,000, and studios bought off-plan for about AED 779,000. For one-bedroom flats, the gap was about AED 930,000 against AED 1.16 million. New towers such as Binghatti Luxuria, Elar1s Sky and Sol Levante pull the averages up.

Off-plan means you buy from the developer before the building is finished and pay in instalments. You get no rent until the handover. Read our guide to off-plan or ready property before you choose.

About 1,900 flats were for sale when this guide was last updated*, and two in three of them were off-plan. Maya 1 and Maya 4 had no sales in 12 months: you can rent there but not buy. Before you make an offer, compare the asking price with the last sales in the same building.

Villas and townhouses for sale in JVT

Most Nakheel villas in JVT sold for between AED 4.9 million and AED 7.65 million. What you pay for is mostly the land: a plot of about 7,000 sq ft, 11 km by road from Dubai Marina. District 8 sells for the most (about AED 6.5 million). Districts 3, 4 and 9 sell for about AED 5 million to AED 5.5 million.

The price of a villa depends a lot on what has been done to it. Sales in the last 12 months* ran from AED 4.7 million to over AED 10 million, and a villa with extra bedrooms, a pool and a new kitchen sells near the top. Townhouses are the cheaper way in: most small Nakheel townhouses sold for between AED 2.48 million and AED 3 million.

Villas earn less than flats: about 3.8% of the price in rent each year on our sums, against 4.2% for villas across Dubai. About 125 villas and 68 townhouses were for sale when this guide was last updated*.

Before you buy a villa, check three things:

• The extension. Ask for the approval for any added rooms. The Land Department records still show most villas at their first size, so a bank or a later buyer may ask about the extra space.
• The plot. Ask for the plot size on the title deed.
• The last sales. Ask the agent for recent sales in the same district, and check them with our guide on how to check property value in Dubai.

Restaurants in JVT

JVT has no restaurant street: the places to eat inside are in its two hotels on Joory Road, in District 3. They are good for breakfast, a buffet or a coffee. For more choice, you drive a few minutes to Jumeirah Park, The Meadows or City Centre Me'aisem.

Good to know:

• Late at night: KFC at Jumeirah Park Pavilion stays open after midnight. Check the hours on its map listing before you go.
• A drink with dinner: we found no bar inside JVT. Ask the hotels before you book, or go to the pub on the Circle Mall card.

The "JVT mall" people search for has not opened yet. Nakheel has been building Al Khail Avenue, a big mall on Al Khail Road in District 6. In October 2026, Dubai Retail announced Skylight Mall on Al Khail Road, with more than 360 shops. It is due to open in 2027 for people in JVT and the areas next to it, and no shops have been named yet.

Supermarkets, Clinics, Mosques and Gyms in JVT

For daily basics you shop in JVT. For a big shop, a clinic or a gym, you drive to Jumeirah Park, The Meadows or City Centre Me'aisem.

Supermarkets in JVT

JVT has small supermarkets, not a big one. Inside JVT:

• FMart.
• Safestway Supermarket.

For a bigger weekly shop, by road:

• Carrefour Market: Jumeirah Park East Pavilion, 4 km.
• Spinneys: Meadows Town Centre, 5.3 km.
• Carrefour: City Centre Me'aisem, 5.8 km.

Clinics in JVT

We could not confirm a clinic inside JVT, but there is a pharmacy: Life Pharmacy, at The Imperial Residence in District 5. Clinics and a hospital nearby, by road:

• Fakeeh Medicentres: Jumeirah Park Pavilion, 5 km.
• Mediclinic Springs and Al Das Medical Clinic: Meadows Souk, 5.3 km.
• Mediclinic Parkview Hospital: Al Barsha South, 13 km.

Mosques in JVT

The JVT Mosque is in District 4. Nakheel lists mosques among the community's facilities, so there may be one nearer your home.

Gyms in JVT

We found no big public gym inside JVT, so ask whether your building has one. Your options:

• Courts in the parks: tennis, padel, basketball and badminton courts, and cricket pitches.
• The Warehouse Gym, Jumeirah Park (4.3 km): an outdoor Olympic-size pool, studio classes and recovery treatments.
• F45 Training, Jumeirah Park East Pavilion (4 km).
• VEO Fitness, Meadows Town Centre (5.3 km): a gym with pools.

Schools in JVT

For a family that wants a British school, JVT is well placed, with two schools rated Very good inside or on its edge. Sunmarke School is in District 5, and Arcadia British School is on Orchid Street, by District 9. KHDA's directory files them under Al Khail and JVC.

KHDA, the Dubai government office that inspects private schools, rates each one. Its top ratings are Outstanding, Very good and Good.

Fees differ by school and year group, and every school's fee sheet is on the KHDA school directory. To compare family areas on schools, safety, space and cost, read our guide to the best areas to live in Dubai for families.

Nurseries in JVT

Jumeirah International Nursery (JINS) has a branch at Sunmarke School, in District 5. It follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage. Other choices for young children:

• Sunmarke School: takes children from FS1.
• Arcadia British School: takes children from FS1.

Ask each nursery which ages it takes this year and whether it has places.

Getting Around JVT

You get around JVT by car, and almost every trip starts on one of the two main roads along its edges:

• Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) runs along the south side. It takes you north-east towards Dubai Sports City, Motor City and Sharjah, and south-west towards Jebel Ali and Abu Dhabi.
• Al Khail Road (E44) runs along the east side, past JVC. It is the fast road north to Al Barsha, Al Quoz, Business Bay and Downtown Dubai.

These are distances along the roads, not times. At school and office hours, allow more time.

Metro stations near JVT

There is no Metro in JVT: the nearest stations are about 8 km away by road. Both are on the Route 2020 branch of the Red Line:

• Al Furjan: about 7.7 km.
• Discovery Gardens: about 7.9 km.

For buses, check the RTA's S'hail app before you rely on one.

Parking in JVT

Ask how many parking spaces come with your home before you sign. Check:

• Whether the space is covered, or in a basement.
• Whether parking is in the rent, or costs extra in a new tower.
• Where your visitors can park.

Is JVT a Good Place to Live?

JVT is a good place to live if you want a flat at a fair rent, or a villa with a big garden, within 11 km of Dubai Marina, and you drive. It does not suit anyone who needs a Metro station or a mall on foot.

A one-bedroom flat here rents for about the same as in JVC and Arjan, and about AED 8,000 a year more than in Dubai Sports City. For a newer community nearby, read our Motor City area guide.

Three bills to ask about before you sign:

• Chiller: whether you pay a separate bill for air conditioning depends on the building, and we could not confirm it for JVT. Ask the agent: "Is the air conditioning included in the DEWA bill, or is there a separate chiller bill?"
• DEWA: you pay DEWA, the water and electricity bill, yourself. A villa uses much more power than a flat in summer, so ask to see last summer's bills.
• Service charges: owners pay a yearly charge to run the building or the community. If you are buying, ask the seller for the latest service charge bill, and read our guide to service charges in Dubai.

If you are thinking of buying a flat, the main risk is new supply: every new tower adds flats that compete for tenants. Villas are the opposite: there are few of them, and the new building in JVT is almost all towers of flats. To compare JVT with other areas, read our guide to rental yield by area in Dubai.
