A technology free zone where people have lived for years. The DLD register lists dozens of finished projects here, the first promised in 2008, and the new towers fill the gaps between them.

Two parks, schools, a hospital and the Silicon Central mall are all within about a kilometre of the centre. Ready flats sell for much less than new ones: in the year to September 2026, the DLD median for a ready 1-bed was AED 730,000, against AED 1,187,000 off-plan. There is no metro yet, so plan on a car.

The listings mention a pool but rarely say where it is or how big it is. Ask to see it on the amenity plan before you pay a deposit.

What homes cost
Ready apartments sold most often here, at a median of AED 757,000 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.

What will a 1-bed off-plan flat cost in Dubai Silicon Oasis?
In the projects we list, flats that start at one bedroom, Aura Elegance and Aura Elite, are priced from about AED 800,000 to AED 940,000. Studios start from about AED 645,000. The Hillgate, with flats up to 4 beds and duplexes, starts from about AED 1.28 million. Prices were checked in November 2026. For context, DLD recorded a median of AED 1,187,000 for off-plan 1-beds and AED 730,000 for ready 1-beds in the year to September 2026.
Is there a metro in Dubai Silicon Oasis?
Not yet. The nearest stations are Creek on the Green Line, 11.8 km away in a straight line, and Centrepoint (formerly Rashidiya) on the Red Line, 12.4 km away. The Blue Line is planned to pass through the area; check the RTA's route and dates before you count on it. For now you drive, using Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and the Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66).
When will the new towers be finished?
Most of the projects we list are due in 2027 and 2028. Aura Elegance and Oasis Lofts had dates in 2025 and early 2026 that have passed, so those dates may be out of date: ask the developer. The DLD register for the area also shows projects under way at about 40% complete and others not yet started, so expect building work nearby for some years. The schools, parks and Silicon Central are already open.
Is Dubai Silicon Oasis good for renting out?
There is a deep resale and rental market: more ready flats sold here than off-plan ones in the year to September 2026. DLD and Ejari figures for the year to March 2026 put gross yields at 9.7% for studios, 8.6% for 1-beds and 7.1% for 2-beds. Those yields use ready-flat prices, which are far below off-plan prices here, so expect a lower yield on a new flat bought at today's price.
