About Living Legends
Living Legends sits in the Dubailand corridor, a low-rise, villa-and-townhouse community that has quietly matured into one of the more liveable addresses on Dubai's northern fringe. It isn't the flashiest postcode in the city. What it is, though, is genuinely spacious, relatively affordable per square foot, and increasingly attractive to families who want a garden, a quiet street, and a realistic commute. We think it's one of the more underrated communities in the Dubailand belt — and the two active off-plan projects in our catalogue suggest developers agree.
Frequently asked questions about Living Legends
What rental yields can I expect in Living Legends?
Our landlords in Living Legends are generally achieving gross rental yields of 5–7% annually, with larger 4-bedroom villas tending to attract long-term family tenants who renew consistently. The community's relatively affordable rents compared to Emirates Hills or Arabian Ranches draw a steady pool of tenants — typically families who want space and greenery without the premium postcode price tag. We'd recommend factoring in a 2–4 week void period when running your numbers.
Who are the main developers active in Living Legends?
The two developers we're actively working with in Living Legends right now are Amer Al Ghurair (Living Legends Phase 4) and Reportage Properties (Taormina Village 2). Amer Al Ghurair is the master developer behind the broader community, while Reportage has built a solid track record across Dubailand with consistent delivery timelines. Both offer structured payment plans, which our buyers have found useful for managing cash flow during the construction phase.
What is the commute like from Living Legends to DIFC, Marina, or Dubai Airport?
Living Legends sits off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), which gives you reasonable access across the city — though you'll be driving. In our experience, expect 30–40 minutes to DIFC or Dubai Marina during off-peak hours, and up to 55–60 minutes in morning rush traffic. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 35 minutes away. There's no metro connection directly to the community yet, so a car is essential. Many of our buyers here are two-car households.
What schools and amenities are near Living Legends?
Families we work with in Living Legends typically look at GEMS FirstPoint School (The Villa, ~10 minutes) and Dunecrest American School (~12 minutes) for British and American curricula respectively. Within the community itself there's a Spinneys supermarket, a community pool, and the Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club on the doorstep — a genuine draw for equestrian families. For larger retail, Dubai Outlet Mall and City Centre Me'aisem are both within a 15-minute drive.
Is Living Legends suitable for families or is it more of an investor community?
Honestly, it skews heavily toward owner-occupier families. The low-density layout, large plot sizes, and community park make it genuinely liveable rather than a pure investment play. That said, we do have investor clients who buy here specifically because family demand keeps occupancy rates high and tenant turnover low. If you're after a lock-up-and-leave apartment investment, this probably isn't your community — but for a long-term family home with solid capital growth potential, it's worth a serious look.
