What the price gap means

Al Nahda Second runs 2% above Al Satwa on median AED/sqm (23,804 AED/sqm in Al Nahda Second against 23,278 AED/sqm in Al Satwa). There is not enough sampled data on both sides to break the gap down by property type.

Citywide medians mix property types unevenly, so a headline gap can reflect what is being sold rather than a like-for-like premium. The per-type table above compares only the property types with enough sampled sales in both areas.

Beyond price, Al Nahda Second is anchored by STADIUM Metro Station metro, City Centre Mirdif, Dubai International Airport, while Al Satwa has no listed metro, mall, or landmark anchor in this dataset.
