Apartments for rent in Al Furjan

Al Furjan apartments for rent suit tenants who want a quieter, more residential part of Dubai with a metro station on the doorstep. The community sits off Sheikh Zayed Road, between Dubai Marina and Expo 2020, and mixes apartment towers with townhouses. This guide covers rents, home types, transport, costs and how to rent here.

What is Al Furjan like to live in?

Al Furjan is a master community that was planned around townhouses and villas. Apartment towers have since been added, so you now find studios, one bedroom and two bedroom flats next to family streets. Our Al Furjan guide and Al Furjan community page describe the area in detail. The mix means quiet streets in the townhouse clusters and busier roads near the towers and the station.

How much is rent in Al Furjan?

Savills reported that Al Furjan apartment rents fell 7.5% year on year in Q3 2026, one of the larger falls among the communities it listed (Khaleej Times, 13 October 2026). Neither Savills nor dubizzle's H1 2026 report publishes a rent figure per bedroom count for Al Furjan that we could verify, so use the cards above for live asking rents. When you compare, divide the annual rent by the size in square feet and use that figure across buildings. A falling market also gives you room to ask for fewer cheques or a lower renewal rent.

Which buildings and clusters are there?

Tenants often search by building name. Two names with community pages are PG One, an apartment building, and Murooj Al Furjan, which has townhouses. Searches also use developer names such as Azizi, which has projects in Al Furjan. Whichever building you search for, ask the agent for the exact building, the floor and the view, because rents in one community can differ widely.

Studio, 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom: how to choose

Choose by how you will use the home, not only by the monthly rent. A studio keeps the rent lowest and works well for one person who is out most of the day. A one bedroom adds a door between the bed and the living area, which matters if you work from home or share with a partner. A two bedroom suits two sharers, who can split the rent, or a family that needs a second room. Compare the cost per person and per square foot before you decide, and check that the building has parking, because spaces can be short in towers added to a community planned for houses.

Renting before you buy in Al Furjan

Many tenants rent here first to learn the streets, the traffic at school times and the building management. If you later buy, you already know which cluster or tower you prefer. Our Al Furjan guide lists checks for buyers, including the service charge in writing and how many other buildings complete in the same year, because new supply can affect rents and resale values. If you want to see homes under construction in the community, the community page lists the off plan projects on sale. Ask any agent for the handover schedule in writing, because it is the developer who sets the date.

How to rent an apartment in Al Furjan

  1. Decide your annual budget, including the housing fee and commission.

  3. Check the metro walk and the parking arrangements.
  4. Agree the rent, cheques and notice terms in the contract.
  5. Register the lease, then connect water and electricity.

When the contract renews, use the rent increase calculator and read how Dubai rent increases are calculated. For comparison, see Dubai Marina rentals and Jumeirah Village Circle rentals.
