Jumeirah Village Circle—commonly abbreviated to JVC—sits inland between Al Khail Road and Hessa Street, far enough from the coast to feel like proper residential Dubai rather than a tourist zone. It's a mid-market community built around a central park and anchored by Circle Mall, with dozens of low-rise blocks spread across numbered districts. The appeal is simple: affordable family apartments, grocery stores within walking distance, and a quiet vibe that works for parents and professionals who'd rather avoid Marina traffic.
JVC is one of Dubai's largest freehold communities by area and population. It was master-planned as a laid-back, car-dependent suburb with wide streets, tree-lined paths, and minimal through traffic. The central green space hosts weekend picnics and morning jogs; Circle Mall handles everyday errands. The architecture is functional—beige and white mid-rises, mostly 4–8 storeys—rather than statement towers. You're here for value and space, not Instagram backdrops.
Mostly young families and working professionals, many of them mid-income expats. JVC attracts first-time buyers who'd be priced out of The Greens or Jumeirah Islands but want freehold ownership and decent community infrastructure. You'll also find a fair number of renters, typically South Asian and Filipino families on company packages. The population skews international, and the community is culturally diverse. It's quieter than areas closer to the beach—expect early bedtimes and school-run traffic rather than nightlife.
The vast majority of stock is one- and two-bedroom apartments in low-rise blocks. Studios exist but are less common. Current platform inventory reflects that: four apartments listed, three of which are one-beds, the other a studio. No villas or townhouses appear in our active listings, though a few scattered villa plots exist on the periphery. Prices on our platform range from AED 1.10M to AED 1.70M, averaging around AED 1.34M and 1,572 AED/sqft—well below comparable rates in Dubai Marina or Downtown. Three of the four listings are off-plan, signalling ongoing developer activity; one is ready to move in.
JVC divides into numbered districts, each with its own cluster of buildings. Districts 10, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are particularly well-established, with mature landscaping and proximity to the central park or Circle Mall. Our platform shows single listings each in Districts 13, 14, 15, and 16, indicating scattered availability rather than concentration in one pocket. Practically, differences between districts are minor—walkability to the mall or specific school gates will matter more than the district number itself. The community is compact enough that most amenities are reachable within a 10-minute drive.
Duplexes in Jumeirah Village Circle combine the convenience of a tower or building location with the floor-plan flexibility of a small house — bedrooms upstairs, living spaces downstairs, internal staircase, and (usually) a private terrace or garden zone.
Duplex layouts in Jumeirah Village Circle typically run 2–4 bedrooms with a clear separation between living and sleeping floors. Building amenities are shared with the rest of the development — pool, gym, concierge — making them a popular choice for buyers who want a townhouse feel inside a managed building.
All listings in Jumeirah Village Circle on Disruptive Real Estate are sourced directly from licensed brokerages and verified through the RERA permit system (ORN 1167819).

Duplexes are a niche format, which means lower comp data and longer time-to-sell, but they often trade at a discount per sqft to standard apartments in the same building. The value play: get more space and a better layout for less money per square foot than equivalent flat units.
Circle Mall is the anchor: supermarket, pharmacy, cafés, clinic, and a small cinema. For serious shopping you'll drive to Ibn Battuta Mall or City Centre Meaisem, both within 10 minutes. Supermarkets are plentiful—West Zone, Al Madina, and For U Mini Mart are all under 600 metres from most addresses. Schools nearby include Nord Anglia International School (1.96 km), JSS International School (2.23 km), and Australian International School Dubai (2.48 km), all within reasonable commute range. Victory Heights Primary is also close. No Metro station exists in JVC itself; the nearest is UAE Exchange on the Red Line, about 15 minutes by car. You'll need a vehicle for most errands.
JVC is a rental workhorse. Yields typically sit in the 7–8% range for well-maintained one-beds, higher than most beachfront areas. Capital appreciation has been modest but steady, particularly for completed units in established districts. Off-plan launches continue, which can create supply pressure and limit short-term price growth. The community's value proposition—affordable freehold apartments with decent amenities—keeps tenant demand stable, but don't expect explosive returns. It's a buy-and-hold play for income rather than a flip market.
Prioritise location within the community: proximity to Circle Mall, green spaces, and school gates will improve rental appeal and resale liquidity. Check service charges carefully—they can vary significantly between buildings and erode yield. For investors, one-beds in well-managed blocks near the central park tend to rent fastest. Owner-occupiers should weigh floor level (higher floors get better air circulation and less street noise) and parking allocation. Verify handover timelines and payment plans if buying off-plan; completion delays, while less common now, still happen.
