Town Square Dubai: Community Living at Its Best
Town Square Dubai by Nshama is proof that masterplanned community living does not have to come with a premium price tag. This thoughtfully designed development in the Dubailand corridor has attracted thousands of residents who want the community experience -- parks, pools, playgrounds, retail, and a real sense of neighbourhood -- without the AED 2M+ entry cost of established communities like Arabian Ranches or Dubai Hills.
At ATAM Properties, we consider Town Square one of the best value propositions in Dubai for families and community-minded investors. Here is our detailed guide.
Location and Context
Town Square is located along Al Qudra Road (D63), between Emirates Road (E611) and the Reem community. It sits in the broader Dubailand / Remraam area, approximately 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai, 30 minutes from Dubai Marina, and 25 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport.
The community is accessible via Al Qudra Road and Hessa Street, both of which connect to the main highway network. While there is no metro station nearby, the road infrastructure has improved significantly over the past few years, reducing commute times.
The Masterplan: What Makes Town Square Different
Town Square was designed from the ground up as a complete community, not just a collection of apartment buildings. Nshama's masterplan centres on a 37,000 square metre town centre and an extensive network of parks and open spaces. Key planning principles include:
- Central Town Centre: Retail, dining, cinema, supermarket, and community facilities all in one walkable hub
- Green Spine: A continuous landscaped park running through the development
- Low to mid-rise density: No towering skyscrapers -- the tallest buildings are around 10-12 storeys, giving the community a human scale
- Walkability: Pedestrian paths, cycling tracks, and shaded walkways connecting residential clusters to amenities
This approach to community planning is relatively rare in Dubai, where many developments prioritise tower density over lifestyle quality. Town Square genuinely feels like a neighbourhood.
Property Types and Pricing
Town Square offers exclusively apartment and townhouse living. There are no standalone villas, but the townhouse offerings provide a similar feel for families who want a garden and extra space.
Current Price Ranges (2025)
- Studios: AED 350K -- 550K (370-460 sq ft)
- 1-Bedroom: AED 500K -- 800K (600-850 sq ft)
- 2-Bedroom: AED 750K -- 1.2M (900-1,200 sq ft)
- 3-Bedroom: AED 1M -- 1.6M (1,300-1,700 sq ft)
- 3-4 Bed Townhouses: AED 1.3M -- 2.2M (1,800-2,500 sq ft)
These prices represent exceptional value for a masterplanned community. A two-bedroom apartment in Town Square costs roughly what a studio costs in Downtown Dubai.
Rental Yields
Town Square delivers solid rental yields, driven by strong demand from families and young professionals attracted to the community lifestyle at affordable rents:
- Studios: 7-8% gross yield
- 1-Bedroom: 6.5-7.5% gross yield
- 2-Bedroom: 6-7% gross yield
- Townhouses: 5.5-6.5% gross yield
Vacancy rates are low because Town Square caters to a deep pool of mid-income tenants -- families and professionals who are priced out of premium communities but want something better than a basic apartment tower. This consistency of demand is one of the area's underappreciated strengths.
Community Amenities
For a development at this price point, Town Square's amenity offering is impressive:
- Town Centre: Reel Cinemas, restaurants, cafes, retail shops, Vida Town Square hotel
- Supermarkets: Carrefour, multiple convenience stores
- Parks and recreation: Central Park, splash pads, skate park, landscaped jogging and cycling paths
- Swimming pools: Multiple community pools spread across residential clusters
- Fitness: Community gyms, outdoor workout stations, yoga areas
- Children's facilities: Playgrounds in every cluster, dedicated kids' areas in the town centre
- Healthcare: Pharmacy and clinics within the community; hospitals within 15-minute drive
Schools
Town Square has a school within the development -- Nibras International School. Additional schools including GEMS and Dovecote Green are within a short drive. For families, this on-site schooling is a significant convenience factor.
