2 Bedroom Apartments for Rent in Downtown Dubai

A 2 bedroom apartment for rent in Downtown Dubai averaged about AED 223,000 a year in dubizzle's H1 2026 report. That is roughly AED 90,000 more than a one bedroom in the same area, so the second bedroom is the single biggest jump in the Downtown rent ladder. This page shows what you pay per bedroom, who a two bedroom suits and how to compare towers.

How much is a 2 bedroom apartment in Downtown Dubai?

Dubizzle's Market Report H1 2026 (January to June 2026) gives average annual rents for Downtown apartments by size. The report says its data comes from its own dashboard and may not match registered transactions.

The last column is our own arithmetic from the averages. It shows that a two bedroom is the cheapest size per bedroom in Downtown, which is why it works well for couples with a child or two people sharing. Our 1 bedroom page and 3 bedroom page cover the sizes either side.

Who is a 2 bedroom in Downtown right for?

• Couples with a child who want a separate room and to stay near the Boulevard and Dubai Mall.
• Professionals who work from home and need a proper office.
• Two tenants who share. On the dubizzle average, an equal split is AED 111,500 each, less than the average one bedroom alone. Check that your tenancy contract allows sharing.

Which buildings have 2 bedroom flats to rent?

Downtown is a cluster of separate towers, and each has its own mix of sizes. Tenants search for the buildings that let two bedroom flats, and the honest answer changes weekly with what owners list. Look at Imperial Avenue, South Ridge, 29 Burj Boulevard and The Residences to compare how the towers feel, then ask which units are two bedroom. Do not pay for a view you cannot see: check the floor and the direction the windows face.

What should you check when viewing?

• Size on paper. Compare built-up area with suite area. Our guide to BUA and suite area explains the difference.
• Parking. Many towers give one or two bays per unit. See parking in Dubai buildings.
• Cooling charges. Read our guide to DEWA and chiller charges.
• Furnishing and the cheque plan. Ask for a signed inventory.

What does it cost to start the tenancy?

You pay the first cheque, any deposit and the Ejari fee. The Dubai Land Department lists AED 177.75 for online registration and AED 220 at a trustee centre on its Ejari page. Dubai Municipality charges a housing fee of 5% of annual rent, added to your utility bill, and some brokers charge up to 5% commission (u.ae). When you renew, use the rent increase calculator.
