Studio Apartment Investment in Jumeirah

Why studios in Jumeirah often out-yield larger units, and where the risk sits.

Price per sqft

AED 2,700 per sqft

1-bed rent

AED 150,000/yr

Gross yield

5–6%

Short-let occupancy

74%

The yield case

Studios in Jumeirah 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 Kite Beach, not in commodity blocks.
