1 Bedroom Apartments for Sale in Dubai

There is no single price, because the area decides most of it. Figures come from the Sold prices tables on our area pages, which use Dubai Land Department sales registered from 2 January to 27 October 2026 (as of November 2026). The typical price is the median: half of the sales were above it and half below. Ready means a finished home sold on, off-plan means bought before handover. The figures cover every 1 bedroom home sold in the area. Each area name links to its page, where you can see every bedroom count.

Across these 18 areas the Dubai Land Department registered 13,673 one bedroom sales in the period. The prices above are what happened, not asking prices: listings are usually higher, so use the table to judge whether an asking price is fair for the area.

The lowest typical prices in the table, January to October 2026, were:

• Town Square: typical price AED 830,000, 608 sq ft, 138 sales.
• Dubai Sports City: typical price AED 999,627, 795 sq ft, 676 sales.
• Al Furjan: typical price AED 1,080,000, 798 sq ft, 443 sales.
• Jumeirah Village Circle: typical price AED 1,090,000, 789 sq ft, 4,188 sales.
• Dubai Silicon Oasis: typical price AED 1,100,000, 790 sq ft, 228 sales.

These areas are further from the coast and the business districts, so check the commute and the building before you compare headline prices. The minimum sale price for a one bedroom depends on the building and the floor, so use the cards above for what is for sale now, and the table for the typical level in each area.

• Palm Jumeirah: typical price AED 3,137,850, 1,109 sq ft, 170 sales.
• City Walk: typical price AED 2,650,000, 1,036 sq ft, 61 sales.
• Dubai Harbour: typical price AED 2,550,000, 786 sq ft, 124 sales.
• Downtown Dubai: typical price AED 2,200,000, 873 sq ft, 616 sales.

Typical sizes in the table run from 608 to 1,109 sq ft. If you want a larger one bedroom, for example 900 sq ft or more, look at areas where the typical size is already high, such as Palm Jumeirah and City Walk, and check the built up area on each listing.

As of November 2026 the cards above show 8 one bedroom apartments for sale, from AED 1,230,000 to AED 2,299,000 and from 595 to 969 sq ft. Stock changes weekly. Always compare the built up area in square feet and the asking price per square foot with the typical size and price in the table for that area.

Sizes vary a lot between towers. Older buildings often give a larger living room and a separate kitchen. Newer towers tend to use open plan layouts that are more compact but include a balcony. Always compare the built up area in square feet, not only the price, and ask whether the area quoted includes the balcony. Our guide to apartment sizes in Dubai explains how the figures are measured.

Pick the area for the life you want, then the building. Browse the area pages for current homes:

• Jumeirah Village Circle for newer, lower priced towers and a family feel.
• Business Bay for canal views and a short drive to Downtown.
• Dubai Marina for walkable waterfront living with metro and tram access.
• Downtown Dubai for the Burj Khalifa district at a premium.

1 BHK means one bedroom, a hall and a kitchen. In Dubai listings 1 BHK, 1 BR, one bed, one bedroom flat and 1 bedroom apartment all describe the same type of home.

• With a study. Some listings say 1 bedroom plus study. Check the floor plan to see whether the study is a real room with a window or a small nook.
• Beach access. Beachfront buildings sit mainly on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Harbour and around Dubai Marina. Ask whether the beach is private to residents or open to the public, and whether it carries an extra charge.
• Furnished or semi furnished. Semi furnished usually means kitchen appliances and wardrobes are included. Ask for a written list of what stays.

Dubai prices are quoted in dirhams (AED). For a figure in pounds, convert the dirham price at the rate on the day you pay, because bank and transfer rates differ from the rate shown on search sites. Use the dirham prices in the table above as the starting point.

Budget for fees as well as the price. The Dubai Land Department lists a 2% fee for the seller and 2% for the buyer on a sale, a title deed fee of AED 250, a map fee of AED 250, AED 30 each for the innovation and knowledge fees, and a service partner fee of AED 1,000 plus VAT for deals of AED 500,000 or more (Dubai Land Department). In practice the buyer often agrees to pay the full 4%, so write the split into the sale agreement. On a flat priced at AED 1,500,000, 4% is AED 60,000. See Dubai Land Department fees explained for the full list, including the agent and mortgage costs.

1. Set a budget that includes fees and, if you borrow, the deposit. Read how much deposit you need.
2. View two or three flats in the same area and compare price per square foot.
3. Ask for the service charge per square foot in writing before you offer.
4. Sign the sale agreement, then pay the deposit into the agreed escrow or trustee route.
5. Complete the transfer at the Land Department and collect the title deed.
