The name comes from the university district, but the project is 2.4 km in a straight line from American University in The Emirates, the nearest campus on our map. What you buy here is a large house at a price close to the DLD median, and a long wait for it.

What homes cost
Off-plan villas sold most often here, at a median of AED 4,331,000 in the last 12 months.
The median is the middle price: half the homes sold for more, half for less. A sea view or a high floor can cost a lot more than the median.

Greenz by Danube starts from about AED 3.5 million, for 3- to 5-bed homes of 2,400 to 3,950 sq ft. The DLD median for off-plan 3-bed villas in Al Rowaiyah First, the DLD area that covers Academic City, was AED 3.46 million, and for 4-beds AED 4.37 million. Prices were checked in November 2026 and change as units sell.
Is Greenz inside the university district?
Not as far as our map shows. The nearest campus is American University in The Emirates, 2.4 km away in a straight line. If you plan to let to students or staff, check the drive to the campus you have in mind.
Which schools and hospitals are close?
Our map shows 9 schools and colleges within 5 km but none within 2 km. German International School Dubai is 3.3 km away in a straight line. Fakeeh University Hospital is 4.6 km away.
How do I get to the city centre?
By car, mostly on Al Ain Road. Downtown Dubai is 17.9 km away in a straight line. The nearest metro station, Centrepoint (formerly Rashidiya) on the Red Line, is 13.2 km away, so the metro is not a daily option.
What should I ask about the 2029 handover?
Greenz is due in December 2029, so you may pay instalments for years before you get the keys. Ask Danube how much of the price falls due before handover, and how far work has come.
Areas for families, near the metro, on a budget and for rent, chosen with our data on schools, stations, prices and 991 projects. Each comes with its trade-off.
