The comparison
City Walk yields 6–7% at AED 3,000 per sqft. Value communities push yields higher on lower per-sqft entry; prime waterfront trades tighter on yield but stronger on appreciation and liquidity. City Walk sits where it does for a reason — a Meraas urban-luxury district of boutiques, dining and low-rise residences.
Choosing
Pick on strategy, not headline yield. Cash-flow investors chase the higher-yield end; capital-growth and Golden Visa buyers accept lower yield for prime addresses.
