Reportage Village

Reportage Village is a townhouse community on the desert side of the city near Arabian Ranches 2, built by a developer whose communities sell on price, and one of the cheapest places in Dubai to buy a new townhouse. It is compact, young and still handing over in parts.

The place

The community lies off Al Qudra Road with Arabian Ranches 2, Serena and Rukan nearby and the desert behind. Its phases are loops of townhouses around pools and small parks, with a small centre carrying the daily shops and the neighbouring communities supplying the schools and the larger retail.

What you get

Townhouses in the developer's standard layouts, compact and consistently finished, in phases that differ by age and position; and nothing taller.

Who it suits

First-time buyers and young families who want a new townhouse with a garden at the lowest price near the Ranches' schools, and who will accept the drive. Investors in the townhouses, whose yields have been competitive.

It suits people less well who work in the centre, who need public transport, or who want an established neighbourhood today.

Buying and renting here

Two markets run at once and the register keeps them apart: finished houses trade as ordinary resales with a growing record, and the newer phases trade as off-plan resales, which this page shows separately. The register files a house sold with its plot against the plot, and this page reads those sales correctly. For tenants, the official index caps a renewal while a new lease follows the market.
