The southern portion of any city is always more urbanized with modern facilities and social amenities. Dubai South is no exception. It is being developed and shaped to be the more glamorized version of what Dubai is already famous for worldwide. Dubai South is righteously termed by market experts as the future of Dubai.

From excellent road, rail, and air connectivity to the easy availability of world-class urban lifestyle amenities in the lavish communities here, all are available here.
Dubai South isn't a mere development, but a Centropolis. is witnessing a massive influx of investors, entrepreneurs, businesses over time. It is steadily continuing as Dubai South Free-zone also happens to be the best yet most cost-efficient freezones amongst all the other 30 free zones in the country.
Dubai South is one multifaceted development under the government’s flagship project that integrates eight districts dedicated to-
Spanning around 145 sq. km, 7 sq. km. space out if this area is dedicated for the aerospace hub and 18 sq. km. to the logistics hub.
Traders, Entrepreneurs, Investors are not thinking twice before starting their ambitious business ventures in this 145 sq kms integrated ecosystem in Dubai increasingly.
For a super high-end lifestyle, all sorts of social facilities like sophisticated office & commercial spaces, eateries of all ranges including gourmet fine dining choices, ultra-luxurious shopping venues, hi-tech healthcare facilities, daily necessary services like beauty salons & spas and more are being set up here in a planned way.
Multinational companies and Greenfield investment companies are making their way here. Dubai South is a city in itself that will also feature Two-tier and Three-tier market set up. The region’s largest sea port, Jebel Ali Port, is located just 20 minutes away from Dubai South (better to say Al Maktoum International Airport). This short distance time between Airport and Seaport is a boon to the commercial sector in every possible way. Established infrastructure, business parks, expensive residential and commercial real estates will mark the area.
Who can ignore the advantageous Trade route benefits for businesses in various sectors here like import-export, logistics and aviation?
Who wouldn't love to stay here amidst so many social facilities and communal amenities?
This largest urban master development is the home to several premium properties by the best real estate developers of Dubai. CEOs of large organizations who will be looking for lavish villas inside gated master planned communities. Professionals and staff members employed in all the companies being set up here would be interested to check the diverse range of residential choices here like luxury apartments (for example, Dubai South Living), townhouses, penthouses and villas.
They wouldn't mind paying handsomely according to their financial freedom level for their choiceable residences by real estate developers who already have a distinguished identity in the Dubai property market. Homebuyers can expect greater resale value and investors are sure to allure high-paying tenants here in Dubai South.
It is a posh and also a highly prestigious elite part of Dubai city. Staying here is a boost to one's social status. And, to many it does matter. You have premium choices of elite master-planned communities (villas and townhouses mainly) here like Fairway Villas, Expo Golf Villas and Golf Links from Emaar South by Emaar Properties. Most popular off-plan projects here are The Pulse Beachfront, Greenway, South Bay 6 and Expo Golf Villas 6.
Dubai South villas are more popular choices for high-class residents here. But, apartments also are being set up like Dubai South Living and Azizi Venice (studios, 1-BR & 2-BR).
One of the pros of staying in Dubai South is getting the opportunity to call the residents of some mega master-planned communities by the best real estate developers across the UAE.
Dubai South is a Centropolis that is lavishly developed and planned with high-end residential choices with world-class lifestyle amenities and facilities of all types and range. This freehold community is home to Al Maktoum International Airport and 8 sub-communities. Also, it is closer to Dubai Expo City. Naturally, all these increase the demand, and thus, the market value of the region.
Prices of residences and cost of living here are bound to be a bit towards the quite expensive side. Let’s say it is exorbitantly priced for people with mediocre levels of earnings. Majority of gated residential communities have villas and townhouses to offer.
Flexible payment plans for off-plan properties will help. But, still it stresses one’s budget. Plus, mostly villas and townhouses are here for people with heavy pockets truthfully speaking.
Apartments are there but in fewer units and with a heavy starting price tag. Affordable choices are there but, fewer to be honest!
Dubai South is for those who can own and maintain an exceeding lavish lifestyle. Period.
Dubai south is being developed and engineered to be a major hub of residences, commercial spaces and logistical operations. Plus, the world's busiest airport is taking its shape there. At the top of these, the remaining 7 communities besides residential zones are to stay occupied with huge footfall and traffic for commercial activities and business operations.
Until and unless you are inside an exceptionally spacious and highly posh gated community (like Emaar South), chances are higher you won't find a quieter and secluded feel here. It is a hot-n-happening zone from all possible senses. Quieter ambience cannot be guaranteed. It is closer to an international airport, noisy and crowded it will be for sure.
Dubai South is an urban plan, judiciously designed district, positioned near the Expo City Dubai site and Al Maktoum International Airport. It is strategically located to offer excellent road, rail (etihad railway, blue line metro), air and port connectivity. Pros of staying in Dubai South will always outweigh the Cons of staying here (we literally had to scratch our heads to find more than 1-2 flip sides of staying here!).
We mentioned the luxury residence choices here but didn't talk about the amenities offered as the blog would become a novel (from the length viewpoint). Only high-end urban lifestyle amenities and facilities of top-notch quality are to be here.
