Arjan is a district of flats in Al Barsha South, next to Dubai Miracle Garden. Almost every project we list is by a different developer. Schools, a hospital and a mall are close; the metro and the beach are not.

Three schools lie within about 1 km of the middle of Arjan: AIS Dubai, Safa Community School and Nord Anglia. Mediclinic Parkview Hospital is 1.5 km away and City Centre Al Barsha 1 km, both in a straight line. The trade-offs: the metro is 7.6 km away, the sea about 9.5 km, and many buildings are still under construction, so you will need a car.
