This page lists apartments for sale in Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The guide explains how the community is laid out, which buildings to look at, how buying works step by step, and what to check before you commit.
MBR City is a large master development beside Downtown Dubai, divided into districts that different developers deliver. For apartment buyers, the two districts that matter most are Sobha Hartland, built by Sobha Realty, and District One, whose residences face lagoon and skyline views. Our guide to buying in Mohammed Bin Rashid City and the Meydan and MBR City area guide cover the wider picture.
Both are freehold areas of the kind open to foreign buyers. Read buying property in Dubai as a foreigner and freehold property in Dubai for the rules on ownership.
| District or building | Home types | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Sobha Hartland | Apartments, townhouses, villas | Landscaped community by Sobha Realty with towers such as Creek Vistas and The Crest |
| Sobha Creek Vistas | 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments | Community, lagoon and pool views; units from about 600 to 1,400 square feet in the listings we show |
| District One | Larger apartments and villas | Lagoon-facing residences, many with maid's rooms |
| Sobha Hartland II | Newer off-plan phase | See Sobha Hartland 2 properties |
| MAG City | Apartments | A further district listed on the community page |
Sizes are from the listings we show today and change as homes sell. Always check whether a size is built-up area or suite area, as explained in BUA and suite area on a Dubai floor plan.
A ready apartment lets you inspect the unit, see the view and move in or rent it out quickly. An off-plan home is bought from the developer on a payment plan and handed over later. MBR City has many projects of both types. Our page shows ready resale apartments, and our off-plan projects in Mohammed Bin Rashid City page lists new launches. If you are weighing the second route, read how off-plan payment plans work in Dubai and how to check a developer before buying off-plan.
Our guide to how long it takes to buy a property in Dubai gives the usual timeline. The Dubai Land Department states the 4% fee on its sale registration service page, and our Dubai Land Department fees in 2026 guide lists the other costs.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Service charges | They differ by building. See the Dubai service charge index and understanding service charges. |
| Tenant in place | A rented unit may not be vacant on transfer. See buying a Dubai property with a tenant in it. |
| Mortgage on the unit | The seller's mortgage must be settled at transfer. See buying a property that has a mortgage on it. |
| Valuation | A bank valuation can come in below the price. See bank valuations explained. |
Three types of buyer search this area. Owner-occupiers want a quiet, planned community close to the city centre and are happy to pay for views and space. Investors look at one bedroom and studio units in Sobha Hartland because they are easy to rent out. Families look at larger District One residences and the townhouses and villas in the same community. Decide which of the three you are before you shortlist, because the right building, floor and size differ for each.
| Cost | What to know |
|---|---|
| Dubai Land Department fee | 4% of the sale value on registration, as stated on the Dubai Land Department sale service page. Buyer and seller can agree who pays. |
| Agency fee | Agree it in writing. See agency commission in Dubai: what it covers. |
| Mortgage costs | Arrangement, valuation and registration fees vary by bank. Ask for a written list. |
| Service charges | Paid every year by the owner and set per building. |
| Deposit | See how much deposit to buy property in Dubai. |
Put the asking price of each unit next to its size, floor, view, service charge and whether it is vacant. Divide the price by the size to compare value per square foot, and compare like with like: a ready resale unit is not the same as an off-plan unit. Look at how long the unit has been on the market, and ask what similar units in the same tower sold for. Our team can pull recent transaction prices for the building you like, so you negotiate from facts and not from the asking price alone.
