Al Meydan Street (D77) runs past the Grandstand and Meydan One, with the Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66), Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Al Khail Road a short drive away. There is no Metro station today; RTA's Gold Line, approved in 2026, plans a Meydan station in future. No bus route serving the community directly was identified, so a car is useful.

THAT FITS YOUR LIFE. 03 / PROPERTY TYPES & CLUSTERS
Homes range from studios to three-bedroom apartments in Meydan One and Meydan Avenue to larger townhouses and villas in gated neighbourhoods.

HOME / CLUSTER
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Meydan One (Azizi Riviera)
A large apartment district of mid-rise buildings with studios to three bedrooms. Buildings, views and phases differ.
Meydan Avenue
Low-rise apartments such as Polo Residence near the Grandstand. Outlooks vary, and race nights bring traffic.
Gated villas
Polo Townhouses, Grand Views and Millennium Estates. Plots, layouts and privacy vary.
District 11
Newer villas and townhouses including Opal Gardens. Handover status and snagging vary.
New projects
Further towers and villas are being delivered. Handover timings vary by project; we can share the latest progress.
Neighbours
Sobha Hartland, District One and Nad Al Sheba are separate communities. Worth confirming which one a listing is in.
The exact address matters: Meydan covers several distinct neighbourhoods around the racecourse. Neighbourhood, building, distance to the Grandstand and nearby construction can make a substantial difference to daily life.

A CENTRAL ADDRESS. A CONSIDERED CHOICE. 07 / BUYING & INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE
DEMAND, SUPPLY & THE LONGER VIEW Demand comes from residents seeking apartments or villas close to Downtown with more space and greenery. Meydan One adds a large supply of apartments, while the gated villa areas are more limited. For off-plan or recently handed-over homes, handover timings vary by project. Rental returns and future price growth are not assured.
PRACTICAL COSTS & COMMUNITY RULES Service charges, DEWA bills and cooling costs vary by building and community; we can share current details for any home you shortlist. Cooling providers and billing vary by building. Parking, visitor access, pet rules, moving permits and alteration approvals are set by Dubai Holding Community Management.
