Liwan

A master-planned residential community in the heart of Dubailand offering affordable apartments, generous green spaces and strong rental yields at a fraction of prime Dubai prices.

About Liwan

Liwan is a master-planned residential district developed by Dubai Properties within the broader Dubailand mega-development. Designed as a self-contained neighbourhood, it comprises two distinct phases—Liwan 1 and the emerging Liwan 2—featuring mid-rise apartment clusters alongside Queue Point and Skycourts Towers, two of the district’s most established residential projects. The community offers a diverse mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and a selection of townhouses that attract a wide range of buyers and tenants.

Priced significantly below Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai, Liwan is one of the most accessible freehold communities in the emirate. Located just off Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Ain Road (E66), the district sits approximately 20 kilometres from the city centre. The planned extension of the Dubai Metro and the proximity to key arterials make Liwan increasingly attractive to young professionals, first-time buyers, and buy-to-let investors seeking capital growth without premium entry costs.

What Makes Liwan Special

Living in Liwan carries a sense of calm that sets it apart from Dubai’s busier districts. Mornings here start with a walk along the tree-lined Queue Point Boulevard, where residents gather around the community fountain before heading to nearby cafés. The architecture is low-rise and human in scale—wide pedestrian pathways connect residential towers to shared pools, barbecue areas and landscaped courtyards. It feels like a neighbourhood rather than a development, and that sense of community is what draws people back after considering other options.


Liwan suits young couples, expat families on mid-range budgets and investors looking for consistent returns. Daily needs are met within a short walk—supermarkets, pharmacies and salons occupy the ground-floor units of most buildings—while Dubai Silicon Oasis, a major employment hub, is just five minutes away. Rental yields of 7–9% and sustained demand from professionals in adjacent business and academic hubs make Liwan one of the most practical investment choices in outer Dubai.
