Townhouses for Sale in Dubai & the UAE

A townhouse in Dubai gives you villa-style space (two or three floors, a private garden and parking) at a lower price than a detached villa, inside a gated community with pools, parks and schools nearby. That balance makes townhouses the most popular choice for families moving up from an apartment, and a steady performer for investors because family tenants tend to stay longer.

Asset Homez lists more than 40 off-plan and ready townhouse projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, from master developers such as Emaar, DAMAC, Aldar, Arada and Meraas.

Townhouse vs villa vs apartment

• Price: townhouses usually cost less than a detached villa in the same community.
• Space: typically 2–4 bedrooms with a private garden and parking, more than most apartments.
• Running costs: service charges are often lower than in high-rise towers.
• Rental demand: family tenants usually sign longer leases.

Off-plan or ready townhouse?

Off-plan townhouses let you pay in stages (often 10–20% down, with the balance during construction and on handover) and usually start at lower prices. Ready townhouses let you move in or rent out straight away. Our off-plan service and buying service cover both, and we can arrange mortgage advice.
