What the price gap means

AL QUSAIS runs 2% above Al-Safiyyah on median AED/sqm (5,786 AED/sqm in AL QUSAIS against 5,678 AED/sqm in Al-Safiyyah). 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 QUSAIS is anchored by Airport Free Zone metro, City Centre Mirdif, Dubai International Airport, while Al-Safiyyah has no listed metro, mall, or landmark anchor in this dataset.
