The yield case
Studios in Barsha Heights carry the lowest entry price and the highest yield per dirham invested, letting quickly to single professionals and performing strongly on short-let where the nightly rate holds up better than the size suggests.
The risk
Studios are the first to soften in an oversupplied cycle and the last to appreciate. Buy studios in towers with genuine amenity and walkability to Dubai Internet City Metro, not in commodity blocks.
