One-bedroom apartments are one of the most popular types of real estate in Dubai, both among buyers looking for a home for themselves and among investors. They are the “golden mean” between compact studios and more expensive multi-room apartments. Most often, such an object has a separate bedroom, a living room with a kitchen (open space), a bathroom and a balcony. Some options include a guest bathroom, a laundry room, a dressing room or even a small pantry.
The main advantage of a one-bedroom apartment is functionality and affordability. It is comfortable for independent living, ideal for a couple or for renting out to young professionals, IT professionals, entrepreneurs and digital nomads. Many investors choose this format, as it combines good liquidity, an affordable entry threshold and stable rental demand.
The rental yield of such apartments is usually from 6% to 9% per annum, and under the condition of short-term rental (via Airbnb or Booking) it can be even higher. Many management companies in Dubai offer a turnkey service - including booking, cleaning, guest check-in and reporting. This makes one-room apartments an attractive tool for passive income https://goldenbee.estate/category/1-bedroom-apartment-in-dubai
Another important detail is convenient registration. Real estate is purchased as full ownership, a foreigner can register it for himself, a company or a family member. Some developers offer installments - for example, 10-20% of the initial payment, and the rest during construction or after completion. This opens up the opportunity to invest even without the full amount in hand.
