An Ending Note on Prime Spots in Dubai Marina 

The two locations under discussion above, that is, the Al Yelayiss 2, and the Nad Al Sheba 1st combined with properties in the Valley, and the DAMAC Lagoon III are the hottest for 2023. 

As people are rushing to buy them off the market, it signals a buoyant environment for real estate engagement in the future. Of the four locations, the two discussed in this article are the most affordable and as such, the fastest selling out. By the time the units are completed in 2024/2026, the value of the properties is likely to increase on its own. Meaning that you could buy now and sell later in about 12 months or more. Units in the areas are sold for about 2 million AED upwards and will not require physical presence for the next few years – making them a good option for travelers and tourists.
