Apartments for sale in City Walk

According to our community guide, City Walk opened to the public in February 2016, covers more than 900,000 square metres and was built in two phases, commercial and residential. It is a walkable district with tree-lined streets, shops and restaurants. Meraas's page also lists Central Park with an outdoor gym and running track, the Green Planet bio-dome, Roxy Cinema and the 17,000-capacity Coca-Cola Arena. The Canadian University of Dubai is inside City Walk. Read our City Walk community guide for the background.

The homes themselves are low and mid-rise apartments, from one-bedroom homes to large four-bedroom apartments with a maid's room. The ready resale homes we see are mostly in Central Park at City Walk.

Sold out on the developer's page means the developer has no more units, so homes in those projects come from owners on the resale market. For new launches in the district, see our off-plan projects in City Walk.

Prices depend on the project, size, floor and view, so use the live results above this guide for current asking prices. The one published figure we can give is the developer's: Crestlane from AED 2.70 million. We do not quote a resale average, because we could not verify a recent published report for City Walk.

The Dubai Land Department charges a 4% transfer fee on the purchase price. The table uses the worked totals in our Dubai Land Department fees guide, current as of August 2026, for a cash resale purchase.

These include the transfer fee, agency commission on a resale, trustee fee and title deed costs. A mortgage adds registration at 0.25% of the loan plus bank charges. Confirm current fees with the Dubai Land Department.

Our guides on how off-plan payment plans work and how to check a developer cover the off-plan side.

Because every area has its own service charges and rent levels, compare the cost of owning each, not only the purchase price.

Buyers tend to fall into three groups. Owner-occupiers want a central address where they can walk to cafes, a cinema and a park, and reach Downtown in minutes. Families choose the larger three and four-bedroom apartments, which include a maid's room. Investors look at ready homes that can be let, and should compare the rent on 1 bedroom apartments for rent in City Walk with the purchase price. We do not quote a yield, because it depends on the exact price and rent.

• Service charge: ask for the current charge per sq ft and whether any is unpaid. See how to check service charges before you buy.
• Tenancy: if the unit is let, check the contract end date and rent. See buying with a tenant in it.
• Mortgage on the unit: the seller's bank must be repaid at transfer. See buying a property that has a mortgage on it.
• Size and layout: compare built-up area, maid's room and parking, not just the bedroom count.
• Event days: visit when Coca-Cola Arena has an event to judge traffic and noise.

1. Decide on cash or a mortgage, and get pre-approval if you borrow.
2. Shortlist projects and view the exact unit.
3. Agree the price and sign the sale agreement with the deposit held by a regulated party.
4. Get the developer's no objection certificate and check service charges are paid.
5. Complete the transfer at a Dubai Land Department trustee office and receive the title deed.

Read buying property in Dubai as a foreigner and freehold property in Dubai for the rules. If you would rather rent first, see apartments for rent in City Walk, or compare apartments for sale in Downtown Dubai.
