Al Jaddaf is one of the few genuinely central Dubai districts where a one bedroom apartment still rents in the high five figures a year. It sits on the creek between Bur Dubai and Dubai Healthcare City, with Downtown a short drive up the water.

Alongside the off-plan, we are currently marketing 9 for sale from AED 715,000 and 6 to rent from AED 68,000 a year here.

What do Al Jaddaf apartments for rent cost in October 2026?

These are the figures from our own listings in October 2026. Rents change quickly, so treat them as a guide and check the live page for today's stock.

Most of the one bedroom apartments we hold are between about 666 and 727 sq ft. Several of the higher priced ones are furnished with a creek or Burj view, while the lowest is a ready to move unit. Always compare like for like: furnished or not, which floor, and how many cheques.

What you get for the money

Newer stock than Bur Dubai next door, in towers rather than low rise blocks, and often with a pool and a gym. What you do not get is a finished neighbourhood: Al Jaddaf is still being built, and the towers sit alongside older industrial plots.

The metro is at Al Jaddaf station on the Green Line, and Dubai Festival City is across the creek. For anyone working at Dubai Healthcare City or in Bur Dubai, the commute is very short.

Which buildings are the most popular for rent in Al Jaddaf?

Most of what we have to rent is in Binghatti Avenue and Binghatti Creek. People also search for the first as Jaddaf Avenue. Both are modern towers close to the water, which is why creek views are common in the listings.

Other names that come up in searches include Al Jaddaf Heights, Al Jaddaf Residence and Al Kharbash Residence. We do not hold rentals in those at the moment, but tell us the building and we will check availability. For a wider view of the district and what is being launched, read our Al Jaddaf area guide, or see the off-plan projects in Al Jaddaf.

Can you rent a studio or a two bedroom in Al Jaddaf?

Yes, they do exist in the district, but not every month. Our current rental stock is entirely one bedroom. If you need a studio or a two bedroom, send us your budget and the date you need to move in, and we will come back when one is listed.

How much does a 1 BHK cost in Al Jaddaf?

A 1 BHK is simply a one bedroom, hall and kitchen apartment, the way many renters in Dubai search for it. In October 2026 our listings run from AED 68,000 to AED 90,000 a year. The spread comes down to three things: whether it is furnished, the view, and the building. See the live one bedroom list for the current prices.

How it compares

  • Against Business Bay: meaningfully cheaper for a similar apartment, with less to walk to and a less established feel.
  • Against Bur Dubai: newer buildings, better amenities, higher rent, and less street life.
  • Against Dubai Silicon Oasis or JVC: more central, similar money, smaller units.

What to check before you sign

  • Which way the apartment faces. A creek facing unit and one looking back over the industrial side are very different at similar rents. Go and look.
  • Whether the view is protected. Vacant plots here are being built on. Ask what is consented next door.
  • Chiller charges, and whether they are included. This changes the real cost of two otherwise identical apartments more than anything else.
  • The building, not the district. Al Jaddaf towers vary a lot in management quality. Ask how quickly maintenance requests get answered.
  • Construction noise, which is the most common complaint here and is entirely predictable if you visit on a weekday morning.

What does the rental process look like?

It is the standard Dubai process. You view, agree the rent and the number of cheques, sign the tenancy contract and register it through Ejari. Our guide to Ejari and tenancy contracts explains the paperwork, and how Dubai rent increases are calculated is worth reading before you renew. If something breaks, who pays for what is covered too.

We hold stock here and we know which buildings are well run. See what is available to rent, or read the Al Jaddaf area guide. How the annual contract works covers cheques and Ejari.
