Apartment or villa? They are not the same price
Villas and townhouses in Manara 1 register about 115% above apartments, per square foot. Most places publish one blended figure, which is nobody’s actual market.
Apartments
AED 724/sqft
Median AED 615,000 · 46 registered sales
Villas and townhouses
AED 1,558/sqft
Median AED 1.6M · 11 registered sales
Blended, the way it is usually published: AED 748/sqft across all 57 registered sales. Useful for a trend, misleading for a purchase.
Price per square foot is not the whole story between the two: a villa buys land and a flat buys a share of a building, so the same rate buys very different things.

Rents are registered Ejari contracts in the same building over the last 24 months, matched to each bedroom count by floor area, because Ejari records size rather than bedrooms. A yield is shown only where both sides have a real sample.

What rental yield does Manara 1 give?+

Is Manara 1 a good investment?+
We do not give investment advice, and we will not guess. What the registered record shows for Manara 1 is 22 registered sales on file, 22 of them in the last 12 months, and a gross yield of about 5.8%. Transaction volume matters as much as price, because it tells you how easily you could sell again.
