1 bedroom apartments for rent: questions

How much is a 1 bedroom apartment to rent in Abu Dhabi?

ADREC's median runs from AED 34,411 a year in Al Falah to AED 116,468 in Al Maryah Island, across the 23 Abu Dhabi City areas it lists for this size (Q2 2025).

Where is a 1 bedroom apartment cheapest to rent?

On ADREC's medians the lowest are Al Falah (AED 34,411), Al Shahamah (AED 36,417), Mohammed Bin Zayed City (AED 40,081). Each figure is the middle of the leases registered there, so homes rent on both sides of it.

Is a studio or a 1 bedroom the better deal?

Compare them in the same area. In Khalifa City the gap is small, AED 53,368 for a studio against AED 55,277 for a 1 bedroom, so the larger home can be worth the difference.

Does a new lease cost more than the median?

In 21 of the 23 areas where ADREC shows both figures, the median for new leases is higher. On Al Reem Island a new 1 bedroom apartment lease had a median of AED 73,648 a year against AED 68,055 for all leases.

Yearly leases: our 4 homes in Abu Dhabi take 1 to 3 cheques. A 1 bedroom apartment runs AED 34,411 to AED 116,468 a year on ADREC's medians: about AED 2,868 to AED 9,706 a month.

Can I rent a furnished home in Abu Dhabi?

Furnished or partly furnished: 1 of our 4 homes in Abu Dhabi. Need furniture? Say so in the form and we ask owners in Abu Dhabi.

Are water, electricity and cooling included in the rent in Abu Dhabi?

Only if the contract says so. The AED 34,411 to AED 116,468 medians for a 1 bedroom apartment are the rent alone: ask who pays water, electricity and any district cooling. Tawtheeq also records who pays the municipality fee; on Al Reem and Al Maryah the lease goes on ADGM's AccessRP.
