The guide

Living in Wasl Gate

Wasl Gate is a community of townhouses and apartment buildings on Sheikh Zayed Road at the Jebel Ali end of the city, built by the government's own developer around a retail centre with a furniture store the whole city drives to. It has a Metro station at its gate, Ibn Battuta Mall beside it, and prices that belong to the far suburbs.

The place

The community lies on Sheikh Zayed Road between Ibn Battuta Mall and the free zone, with the Metro station on the highway edge, Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan behind and the Marina a short drive. Its townhouse quarter sits on quiet loops around parks; its apartment buildings, mid-rise, line the community's main roads; and the retail centre at its heart carries the supermarket, the cafes and the store. Some phases are still handing over.

What you get

Townhouses in the developer's standard layouts, and apartments from studios to family layouts in mid-rise buildings, all recent and consistent in finish. The townhouses are the community's settled end; the apartments its volume.

Who it suits

Families who want a townhouse near the Marina end of the city with a Metro station in walking distance, at a price the Springs cannot match. Tenants and buyers of apartments for the same reasons. People who work at the port, the free zone or Expo City.

It suits people less well who want an established neighbourhood or a quiet distance from the highway.

Buying and renting here

The community's uniform stock gives the register a clean record, and the tables on this page show what each layout has actually fetched; each project and building has its own page. Off-plan resales in the later phases are kept apart from finished sales. The register files a townhouse 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.

What it costs to buy

What Wasl Gate sells for

Completed resales over the last three years, by layout — the registered price and the registered floor area. Off-plan launches are counted separately and never folded in.

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. Sales through 6 Oct 2026.
