Dubai and Property – FAQs
Is Meydan too far from the city center and business areas?
Meydan is about 15-20 minutes drive from Downtown Dubai and 20-25 minutes from Business Bay and DIFC during normal traffic. While it’s not central like Business Bay, it’s not very far either. The location offers a good balance – close enough for work commutes but far enough to feel spacious and quiet. If you work in central Dubai and drive, the commute is reasonable. However, there’s no Metro nearby, so you must have a car if you live in Meydan.
What makes Meydan special compared to other villa communities?
Meydan is unique because it’s built around the world-famous Meydan Racecourse. The community has a special focus on equestrian (horse) culture and sports. If you love horse racing or horseback riding, Meydan is perfect. The area also has larger plot sizes and more exclusive properties compared to other communities. Properties often have views of the racecourse, and you can access championship facilities like Meydan Golf and the 5-star Meydan Hotel. It’s more exclusive and prestigious than typical villa communities.
Are there good schools near Meydan for families?
Yes, there are several good international schools within 15-20 minutes drive from Meydan. These include Horizon English School, GEMS Metropole School, Dubai International Academy, and Raffles International School. Many families in Meydan use school bus services. While schools aren’t within walking distance like in some villa communities, the area is popular with families who prioritize space and exclusivity over immediate school proximity. Most Meydan residents are comfortable with 15-20 minute school runs.
Can I keep horses if I buy a villa in Meydan?
It depends on the specific development within Meydan. Some exclusive parts of Meydan allow private stables for horses, but most standard villas and apartments do not have this option. However, Meydan has professional stable facilities nearby where you can board horses and access riding facilities. The Meydan Equestrian Club and Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club are close by. If horse ownership is important to you, ask specifically about properties that allow private stables or communities with dedicated equestrian facilities.
What are the approximate prices for properties in Meydan?
Property prices in Meydan vary significantly by development. Standard townhouses start from around AED 2.5-3.5 million. Larger villas range from AED 4 million to AED 15 million depending on size and location. Ultra-luxury properties in District One (part of greater Meydan area) can cost AED 20-80 million. Apartments near the racecourse start from around AED 1-1.5 million. Meydan is positioned as a premium community, so prices are higher than average Dubai communities but offer more exclusivity and space.
