12 homes under one name, from AED 720,000
Homes for sale in Zayed City, Abu Dhabi
Every home our list records under that name today sits inside one master community, Bloom Living, and so do all three projects still selling there. That is what the name buys at the moment: AED 720,000 for 401 square feet at one end, AED 5,700,000 for 4,843 at the other, and one stretch of AED 1,349,999 in between where no finished home is listed at all.
What the name holds
These come off our own feed and our own catalogue rather than a portal, so they change as homes sell. The second line is the one that decides everything else on this page.
The name, and the map
Ask ten people in Abu Dhabi where Zayed City starts and stops and you will get several answers, most of them confident. This page does not settle the map. It settles the part you can act on, which is what carries the name on our list and what each of those homes costs.
Twelve homes are recorded under Zayed City on our list, and the sub community on every one of the twelve reads Bloom Living. All three launches still selling under the name are in Bloom Living as well, and all three come from the same developer. So a search for the district is, at this moment, a search of one master community.
12 homes out of 12, one master community
The two names sit beside each other on the mainland and on top of each other in a search box, and our own guide to the neighbour marks Bloom Living as adjacent to it rather than inside it, because it is a separate master community. Both districts are worth buying in. They are simply not the same shortlist, and a Saturday of viewings booked on the wrong one is a wasted Saturday.
Two districts, two shortlists, one search box
AED 720,000 buys 401 square feet. AED 5,700,000 buys 4,843. The biggest home of the twelve is neither of those, it is the villa at AED 4,799,999 with 5,870 square feet, more than fourteen times the studio's floor for under seven times its price. Across the whole list price multiplies by close to eight and floor area by more than fourteen, which is why the rate falls from AED 1,796 a square foot on the smallest home to AED 818 on the largest. Read floor area first here and price second.
AED 1,796 a foot at one end, AED 818 at the other
The first is narrow, AED 290,000, and it is really a change of building: the apartments stop at AED 2,060,000 and the first townhouse arrives at AED 2,350,000. The second is a genuine hole. After AED 3,450,000 the finished list goes quiet until AED 4,799,999, so a buyer holding four million has no completed home to walk through. Marbella, still building, is the only thing standing in that stretch.
AED 1,349,999 of the range with no listing in it
Slide the ceiling
Slide through the money and watch the third number. On most pages the count of areas climbs as the budget does. Here it cannot, because there is only ever one.
BudgetAED 750,000
One home, the 401 square foot studio at AED 720,000, and one launch, Granada 2, which opens AED 30,000 underneath it.
BudgetAED 1,500,000
Another AED 750,000 adds exactly one home, the 1,027 square foot one bedroom at AED 1,250,000. There is nothing between the two.
BudgetAED 2,500,000
The two bedrooms arrive, two of them apartments and the third a townhouse at AED 2,350,000. This is where a front door of your own becomes possible.
BudgetAED 3,500,000
Four three bedroom townhouses between AED 2,750,000 and AED 3,450,000 join, and three quarters of everything listed under the name is now in reach.
BudgetAED 4,000,000
The step that buys nothing. Half a million more and the count of finished homes does not move. Only Marbella appears, from AED 3,876,000, and it is still being built.
BudgetAED 5,700,000
The three villas land together, AED 4,799,999 to AED 5,700,000, six bathrooms apiece. Almeria stays outside the page: it opens at AED 6,481,000.
Nine homes at AED 3,500,000, nine at AED 4,000,000. The extra half million adds no listing, no second neighbourhood and no wider choice of bedrooms, because the next finished home under this name is priced at AED 4,799,999. A buyer stuck in that stretch has three honest options: take the AED 3,450,000 townhouse and keep the difference, wait for a villa to list, or buy the launch that sits in the gap.
Move the money across a single community
Six stops, counted off the same twelve listings and three launches, so the slider can only show you what the name genuinely holds today.
The three villas land together, AED 4,799,999 to AED 5,700,000, six bathrooms apiece. Almeria stays outside the page: it opens at AED 6,481,000.
Counts come from our own listings and catalogue, so they move as homes sell.
Inside one master plan
Every row below sits within the first one. That is not a tidy way of presenting the market, it is the market: the name currently carries a single community, and what varies inside it is the kind of home and the street it stands on.
FromAED 720,000All 12 homes
The whole page. Apartments, townhouses and villas inside one master plan, AED 720,000 to AED 5,700,000, the studio and the largest villa filed under the same community. Nothing else under the name reaches our list today.
FromAED 690,0003 of the 4 apartments
Granada 2 is still selling off plan from AED 690,000. Three of the four resale apartments name Granada or Granada 2 in their own listing, running AED 1,250,000 to AED 2,060,000 across 1,027 to 1,499 square feet. The fourth, the studio, names no address at all.
FromAED 2,350,0005 townhouses
The middle of the page and the widest choice on it. One two bedroom and four three bedrooms, AED 2,350,000 to AED 3,450,000, floor areas from 1,851 to 3,315 square feet. Three of the five are described as near handover or not yet finished.
FromAED 4,799,9993 villas
Four bedrooms and six bathrooms in every one, 3,401 to 5,870 square feet, and one of the three names Toledo in its listing. They sit above a long quiet stretch of the price list rather than at the end of a gentle climb.
FromAED 3,876,000Off plan, 3 to 6 bedrooms
The two launches that reach past the finished list. Marbella opens at AED 3,876,000, inside the gap the resale market leaves empty, and Almeria at AED 6,481,000, which is AED 781,000 above the dearest home anyone can walk through here today.
One community, five rows, because the rows after the first are the streets inside it. Our feed files each of these twelve homes with Zayed City as the community and Bloom Living as the sub community, which is the record this page is built on. If you meant Mohammed Bin Zayed City, the large mainland district next to it, that is a separate page and a separate list, and the link to it is at the bottom.
Rooms decide the building
In most of Abu Dhabi you choose the number of rooms and then the type of home. Under this name the two decisions are the same decision. Every three bedroom listed is a townhouse and every four bedroom is a villa, so the moment you settle the rooms, you have settled whether you are buying a floor or a plot.
1 homeOn the list
Entry priceAED 720,000
Floor area401 sq ft
The smallest home under the name and the dearest square foot on it, at AED 1,796. One bathroom, mid floor, and the only way into the community below a million.
1 homeOn the list
Entry priceAED 1,250,000
Floor area1,027 sq ft
A single listing, with two bathrooms and a terrace, charged at AED 1,217 a square foot. One bedroom is the thinnest part of this market, so it is worth asking us before it lists rather than after.
3 homesOn the list
Entry priceAED 1,725,000
Floor area1,127 to 2,463 sq ft
Two apartments and one townhouse, and the townhouse is the interesting line: AED 625,000 more than the entry apartment buys 1,336 extra square feet and your own front door.
4 homesOn the list
Entry priceAED 2,750,000
Floor area1,851 to 3,315 sq ft
All four are townhouses. No apartment and no villa on the list has three bedrooms, so the choice is not what kind of home, it is how much floor: two of the four carry 3,315 square feet, 1,464 more than the smallest, and they are listed at AED 3,299,999 and AED 3,450,000, the same floor area AED 150,001 apart.
3 homesOn the list
Entry priceAED 4,799,999
Floor area3,401 to 5,870 sq ft
All three are villas with six bathrooms each, and price tells you very little about size among them: the one that opens the band is also the biggest, at 5,870 square feet and AED 818 a foot.
None finishedOn the list
Floor areaBeing built
Nothing completed under the name reaches five bedrooms. Marbella and Almeria both run to six, so a family that needs the extra rooms is buying a plan and a date rather than a house they can walk through.
What carries the name today
A sample of what answers to the name. Each card carries the floor area beside the price, which on this page is the more useful of the two numbers.
Three launches
Everything still selling under this name comes from one developer inside Bloom Living. Granada 2 opens at AED 690,000 and runs from studios to three bedrooms. Marbella starts at AED 3,876,000 and Almeria at AED 6,481,000, and both of those reach six bedrooms, which no finished home here does.
Resale against launch
This is not the usual argument about payment terms. Under this name the two routes barely overlap: they open within AED 30,000 of each other, then go separate ways, and the launches own the exact stretch the resale market leaves empty.
Buy finished if you want the floor area measured and the rate checked before a dirham moves, which on a page with this much variation in size is worth more than it sounds. Buy off plan if your number lands in the quiet stretch around four million, if you need a fifth or sixth bedroom, or if the entry price below a million is what brought you here.
The same percentages, twice
Nothing here is a fee for choosing one street over another, because there is only one community. Everything is a percentage of the price, and the price range under this name is nearly eight times wide, so the same rules produce two completely different days.
| Cost | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The four percent, on the day | 4 percent of the price, half to the municipality and half to the agency | AED 28,800 on the studio and AED 228,000 on the villa at the top of the list. Neither figure is negotiable with us, and both are due on the day rather than spread. |
| Down Payment | A fifth of the price, or 15 percent if you are a UAE national and this is a first home | AED 144,000 at the entry price, AED 580,000 in the middle of the list, AED 1,140,000 at the top. The bank lends against the home as well as against you, so ask early rather than late. |
| Service charge | Billed on floor area, which here runs from 401 to 5,870 sq ft | A rate we have not read is not a rate we will print. Ask the seller for the last invoice issued on that exact home, because the largest home on this page carries more than fourteen times the floor of the smallest. |
Take the two ends of one community. On the studio at AED 720,000 you need about AED 28,800 in fees and AED 144,000 as a Down Payment, so roughly AED 172,800 has to be ready on the day. On the villa at AED 5,700,000 the same percentages produce about AED 228,000 and AED 1,140,000, so AED 1,368,000. Same streets, same rules, and AED 1,195,200 between the two cheques.
These are the standard Abu Dhabi percentages and none of them belongs to us. We keep the full list in one place so it can only ever say one thing, on the apartments under AED 5 million page, and before you commit we put those same percentages beside the exact home you are buying, in writing.
Two prices, one master plan
Put AED 720,000 into the box, then AED 5,700,000. The difference between those two monthly figures is not the price of a better address, because both homes stand in the same master plan. It is the price of 4,442 extra square feet.
Monthly repaymentAED 13,543
Four boxes, one sum, and no lender anywhere near it. What a bank finally offers turns on your income, your residency and the building it is lending against, so use this to weigh two homes on this page against each other rather than to plan around a monthly number.
Four people, one name
It is an easy search to get wrong. You want the large mainland neighbourhood with the villa streets and you have typed the shorter name. Our page for Mohammed Bin Zayed City is linked at the bottom, and the honest thing to know first is that the homes on this page are in a separate master community beside it.
One name sitting inside another, two different shortlists
You are looking at the one stretch of this market with nothing in it. After AED 3,450,000 the finished list stops until AED 4,799,999, so the real choice is to spend less on a townhouse, wait for a villa to come up, or take Marbella at AED 3,876,000 and accept a build.
AED 1,349,999 of empty range
One studio, 401 square feet, the dearest square foot on the page at AED 1,796, and a launch selling underneath it at AED 690,000. That is the whole entry level. The next home up the list is AED 1,250,000, so there is nothing in between to weigh it against, which is the argument for asking what is coming rather than choosing from what is listed.
AED 690,000 off plan, AED 720,000 finished
There is nothing finished for you here. The resale list stops at four bedrooms and the two launches that go past it, Marbella and Almeria, are the only route to five or six, which means a drawing, a deposit and a date instead of a viewing. Worth knowing before you plan a school year around it.
0 finished homes above four bedrooms
Start with the name
A list of twelve homes in one community is a short shortlist, which means the work is in the questions rather than the searching.
Zayed City or Mohammed Bin Zayed City. They are neighbours, they share most of a name, and they do not share a shortlist. Settling it in one sentence at the start saves a viewing day, and if you want both we will book them as two.
On this page it already has. Studios and one bedrooms are apartments, three bedrooms are townhouses, four bedrooms are villas, and only at two bedrooms do you get a genuine choice between a floor and a front door. Decide the rooms and most of the list falls away by itself.
The homes here run from 401 to 5,870 square feet and the rate from AED 818 to AED 1,796 a square foot, which is why two prices that look close can describe very different homes. Ask us for the rate on any home you are weighing and we will put it beside the others.
One of the three villas is listed with a tenant in it, and three other homes describe themselves as near handover or nearly ready. Ask for the tenancy end date, or the handover date, as a written line in the offer. Notice on the place you live now should follow that date rather than lead it.
Nearby and next
If the district was not what you meant, start with the first group. If it was, the rest of this is the list.
About the name
No. They are two separate districts on the Abu Dhabi mainland that sit beside each other and share most of a name, which is why a search for one so often returns the other. Our own guide to Mohammed Bin Zayed City treats Bloom Living as adjacent to it rather than part of it, for exactly that reason. Everything on this page is recorded under Zayed City, and all 12 homes are inside Bloom Living.
Twelve are listed today. The lowest is AED 720,000, the highest AED 5,700,000, and AED 2,900,000 sits in the middle. Apartments cover AED 720,000 to AED 2,060,000, townhouses AED 2,350,000 to AED 3,450,000, and villas AED 4,799,999 to AED 5,700,000. Per square foot that is AED 818 at the lowest and AED 1,796 at the highest.
AED 720,000 for a 401 square foot studio, which is the only home on the list below a million. Granada 2 is still selling off plan from AED 690,000, so the launch opens AED 30,000 under the finished list. Note that the studio is the dearest square foot under the name, at AED 1,796, which is normal for the smallest home in any community.
On our list today, yes. All 12 homes carry Zayed City as the community and Bloom Living as the sub community, and all three projects still selling are inside the same master plan from the same developer. Stock changes, so this is a statement about what we hold now rather than a claim about the whole district.
Three are listed, at AED 4,799,999, AED 5,100,000 and AED 5,700,000. Each has four bedrooms and six bathrooms, and their floor areas are 5,870, 3,401 and 4,843 square feet in that order, so the one that opens the band is also the largest of the three. Price is a poor guide to size among them, which is why we quote the rate per square foot on every villa we send.
Not finished, no. The list goes quiet after AED 3,450,000 and does not start again until AED 4,799,999, so AED 1,349,999 of the range holds no completed home at all. The only thing standing in that stretch is Marbella at Bloom Living, which is still being built and opens at AED 3,876,000.
A four bedroom villa of 5,870 square feet at AED 4,799,999, which works out at AED 818 a square foot, the lowest rate on the page. It is more than fourteen times the floor area of the studio at the other end of the list for under seven times the money, and it is not the dearest home here: two smaller villas are listed above it.
Four of the twelve are apartments: a studio at AED 720,000, a one bedroom at AED 1,250,000 and two bedroom homes at AED 1,725,000 and AED 2,060,000. Three of the four name Granada or Granada 2 in their listings. Above AED 2,060,000 there are no apartments under this name, so the market changes shape rather than simply getting dearer.
Three projects, all inside Bloom Living and all from the same developer. Granada 2 covers studios to three bedrooms from AED 690,000, Marbella covers three to six bedrooms from AED 3,876,000, and Almeria also runs three to six bedrooms from AED 6,481,000. Ask us for the current handover date and payment schedule on any of the three and we will send them in writing, because both move between phases.
Not on the finished list. Everything completed stops at four bedrooms, and the only route to five or six is Marbella or Almeria, both still under construction. If the extra rooms are the reason you are moving, say so early and we will tell you what stage each of the two has reached.
Between AED 2,750,000 and AED 3,450,000, and all four of them are townhouses rather than apartments or villas. Their floor areas are 1,851, 1,859, 3,315 and 3,315 square feet, so the same bedroom count covers a range of 1,464 square feet. Ask which of the bathrooms belongs to a staff room before comparing two of them on the count alone.
Take the middle of the list, AED 2,900,000. A fifth down leaves AED 2,320,000 on the loan, and twenty five years at an illustrative 4.25 percent puts that near AED 12,570 a month with the service charge still to come. Day one wants about AED 696,000, once the Down Payment and the 4 percent are added together. No two lenders read the same file the same way, and a rate quoted this month may not survive to the next, so put your own figures into the calculator above.

Tell us the name you searched and the number you have in mind. We will send back what is genuinely listed under it, each home with its floor area, its rate per square foot and the date it can be handed over.
