The guide
Living in Barsha Heights (Tecom)
Barsha Heights is the dense district behind Media City that the city still calls by its old free-zone name, a grid of mid-rise and high-rise buildings, hotels and offices with a Metro station at its edge and the Mall of the Emirates, the Marina and the free zones all within minutes. Most of its flats are let; a few of its buildings are for sale, and they trade as some of the best-placed affordable homes in the city. Tecom is not a place name but a company's: Technology, Electronic Commerce and Media, the free-zone group that built the district.
The place
The district lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Barsha, with Media City and Internet City on one side, the mall on another and the Marina a short run. Its buildings stand close together on a grid with retail and restaurants at street level; the Metro station on the highway edge is a walk from most of them, and the district's own cafes and supermarkets carry the everyday.
What you get
Apartments from studios to family layouts in a small number of freehold buildings among a district of rented ones, most of them mid-rise, plainly built and well let. Hotel apartments sit among them.
Who it suits
Tenants and buyers who work in the free zones, the mall or the Marina and want to walk to the desk and the train at a modest rent. Investors, whose yields here have been among the stronger near the Marina.
It suits people less well who want green, quiet, space, or a building with a pool of its own.
Buying and renting here
The freehold buildings are few enough that each trades on its own record, and the tables on this page should be read building by building; every building has its own page with what its layouts actually fetched. There is little off-plan here. For tenants, the official index caps a renewal while a new lease follows the market.

New to renting or buying here? Ejari, the RERA rental index and the cost of buying, explained.
Where these numbers come from. Sale prices are the Dubai Land Department’s transaction register, read from the Dubai Data Exchange — what buyers actually paid, recorded at transfer. Mortgage registrations, gifts and developers’ own filings are excluded, and medians are used so one unusual sale cannot move the number. Rents are Ejari contracts from the same department, read from the community’s DLD area, new leases and renewals never blended. Sales through 19 Oct 2026 · Rents through 21 Oct 2026.
