Dubai’s property market has seen strong growth in recent years. Buyers are interested in suburban communities like Furjan which are well-connected and with a thriving community life. Developers are taking notice of this trend and launching new projects catering to buyers who prefer these areas.
This not only offers buyers new options in emerging areas at affordable prices, but also offering them access to locations that will soon become popular locations for both homeowners and tenants in the coming years.
