Apartments in Dubai Under 600k AED: Three Current Options
Three current apartment releases publish starting prices under AED 600,000: Hadley Heights from AED 559,000, Astra Residences from AED 579,000, and South Haven from AED 599,000.
Three current apartment releases in Dubai publish a starting price under AED 600,000. Hadley Heights, in Jumeirah Village Circle, starts from AED 559,000. Astra Residences, in Dubai South, starts from AED 579,000. South Haven, also in Dubai South, starts from AED 599,000. All three are studios at their entry price point.
Three options under the 600k threshold
| Project | District | Starting price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hadley Heights | Jumeirah Village Circle | From AED 559,000 | Ready |
| Astra Residences | Dubai South | From AED 579,000 | Off-plan, Q3 2027 |
| South Haven | Dubai South | From AED 599,000 | Off-plan, Q2 2029 |
Hadley Heights: the cheapest of the three, and already ready
Hadley Heights is the debut Dubai project of LEOS Developments, a UK-rooted developer new to the JVC market, offering studio apartments from 458 sq ft. Its original handover target of Q4 2025 means the building is effectively delivered at the time of this guide's verification, making it the only ready option among the three.
Astra Residences: a low-rise building with a confirmed plan
Astra Residences is a 108-apartment, ground-plus-four building by Dugasta Properties in Dubai South, with studios, one and two bedroom homes above a pool, gym and landscaped gardens. The published plan is 40/60, with handover targeted for Q3 2027.
South Haven: the longest payment terms of the three
South Haven is a SAMANA development in Dubai South built around flexible long-term payment terms. The G+6 building holds studio, one and two bedroom apartments from 354 sq ft. Two payment options are published: a PDC option with 10% down, 5% at month 4, 10% at month 12, then 1% per month over 75 months, or a non-PDC option with 15% down and 1% monthly over 70 months. Handover is targeted for Q2 2029.
Why these three, and not others, sit under the threshold
Many Dubai releases publish studio entry prices above AED 600,000; these three are among the current exceptions at the time of verification. Any other project you may see advertised under this figure should be checked against its own official source before you treat the number as current.
Why unit size matters as much as price under this budget
At this entry price point, square footage varies meaningfully: Hadley Heights' studios start from 458 sq ft, while South Haven's start from a smaller 354 sq ft. A lower price per unit does not always mean a better deal once you compare price against actual floor area, so ask your adviser for the exact size of any specific unit before comparing these three on price alone.

What a long post-handover payment plan means for your cash flow
South Haven's post-handover instalments extend to 70 or 75 months after the down payment, meaning a buyer continues paying in small monthly amounts well after the Q2 2029 handover rather than owing the full balance at completion. This can suit a buyer who wants to spread cost over many years, but it also means the unit is not fully paid off, and therefore not fully unencumbered, for a long period after you can already move in or rent it out.
What none of the three confirms about rental return
No rental yield, rent projection or capital appreciation figure is available in the verified sources for any of these three projects. Treat any return estimate seen elsewhere as an unverified commercial projection, confirmed separately with your adviser.
Costs on top of any of these starting prices
Dubai Land Department registration fees run at 4% of the sale price for a completed transaction, with a fixed Oqood fee for an off-plan registration confirmed in the contract. Neither figure is included in the starting prices above.
Financing a budget studio purchase
Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's own approval. No interest rate or specific bank is confirmed here for any of these three projects.
Next step
Tell your adviser whether you want a ready unit or are comfortable with South Haven's longer construction and payment horizon, and they will confirm current availability.
