Farm Grove vs Avena 2: Two Emaar Villa Releases at The Valley
Farm Grove offers 4 and 5-bedroom villas from AED 4.3 million, 80/20 plan, Q4 2028 handover. Avena 2 offers 4-bedroom villas from AED 4.37 million, 80/20 across 9 instalments, Q3 2028 handover.
Farm Grove offers 4 and 5-bedroom villas from AED 4.3 million, on an 80/20 payment plan with handover in Q4 2028. Avena 2 offers 4-bedroom villas from AED 4.37 million, on an 80/20 plan with the 10% down payment spread across 9 instalments, handing over in Q3 2028. Both are Emaar villa releases at The Valley.
Two Emaar releases side by side
Both communities sit within The Valley and share a developer, but differ on typology range, price and the structure of the 10% down payment.
| Farm Grove | Avena 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | Emaar | Emaar |
| Typologies | 4 and 5-bedroom villas | 4-bedroom villas |
| Starting price | AED 4.3 million | AED 4.37 million |
| Payment plan | 80/20, 10% down payment | 80/20, 10% down payment across 9 instalments |
| Handover | Q4 2028 | Q3 2028 |
Why Farm Grove covers a wider typology range
Farm Grove extends to 5-bedroom villas, giving a larger household an option that Avena 2 does not currently offer on its published fact sheet, which lists 4-bedroom villas only. For a buyer who needs the extra bedroom, that typology range narrows the decision before price or handover timing come into play.
A different way of structuring the same down payment
Both releases ask for a 10% down payment within their respective 80/20 plans, but Avena 2 spreads that 10% across 9 separate instalments rather than asking for it in one transfer. In practice, a Farm Grove buyer commits the down payment earlier and in fewer steps, while an Avena 2 buyer spreads the same share into smaller, more frequent payments over roughly two and a half years.
A roughly one-quarter gap in handover timing
Avena 2 hands over in Q3 2028, around a quarter ahead of Farm Grove in Q4 2028. The gap is modest compared with some other off-plan comparisons, so handover timing alone is unlikely to be the deciding factor between the two.
What each community is built around
Farm Grove takes The Valley's nature theme toward a working-landscape concept, with villas set among farm-inspired green space across several architectural facade options. Avena 2 continues the established Avena villa line within The Valley's park-centred masterplan, offering a further release of 4-bedroom homes rather than a new landscape concept. Both share access to the community's wider parks, pools and town centre.
Comparing the two starting prices
The two starting prices, AED 4.3 million for Farm Grove and AED 4.37 million for Avena 2, sit close together. At this level, the choice is less about affordability and more about typology range, facade style and how you prefer to structure the down payment across the construction period.

Who each release suits
A buyer who wants a 5-bedroom option, or is drawn to Farm Grove's farm-inspired landscaping and facade variety, fits better with Farm Grove. A buyer who prefers spreading the down payment into smaller instalments, and is comfortable with a 4-bedroom-only typology range, fits better with Avena 2. Neither is a better choice outright.
What stays the same regardless of which you choose
Both Farm Grove and Avena 2 are off-plan purchases, so every instalment under either 80/20 plan is paid into an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, not directly to Emaar. Construction progress against either handover date, Q4 2028 or Q3 2028, can be checked at any point through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service. Dubai Land Department registration fees of 4% also apply on top of either starting price, confirmed by your adviser once your unit and final price are set.
A practical way to narrow the choice
Rather than treating this as price versus price, it helps to start with typology: if a 5-bedroom option matters, Farm Grove is the only one of the two that currently offers it. If typology is flexible and the down payment structure matters more, Avena 2's 9-instalment spread may suit a buyer managing cash flow more tightly over the construction period. From there, your adviser confirms current plot availability and facade options for whichever release fits your priority.
