Dubai Science Park is a TECOM business district on the Al Barsha South fringe, set between Umm Suqeim Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road with Arjan on one side and Dubai Hills Estate across the road. It was established as a cluster for life sciences, pharmaceuticals and environmental companies.
The residential half is newer and is what most buyers are looking at: mid-rise and high-rise apartment blocks on plots along the district's edges, studios through three-bedrooms, built by a range of mid-market developers over the last decade. There are no villas within the district itself.
It suits an investor or an end user who wants a new apartment on the good side of Al Barsha, minutes from Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Hills, at a price well below either. It suits less well anyone who wants a self-contained community with its own centre: this is a business park with residential blocks around it, not a village.

Living in Dubai Science Park
Everyday life is a short drive rather than a walk. Umm Suqeim Road puts Al Barsha, Mall of the Emirates and the Jumeirah coast within ten to twenty minutes outside peak, which is why the location is the district's strongest card. Within the district there are supermarkets, clinics, pharmacies and cafes at ground level, but no promenade, park or high street to walk to in the evening.
Service charges are low to moderate and the buildings are recent, so maintenance backlogs have not yet appeared, though the developer's reputation matters because standards vary building by building. Construction remains active on several residential plots and on the Arjan side, so views and quiet are both worth verifying against approved plans before you buy.

Who buys in Dubai Science Park
Buyers here are a mix of yield investors and pragmatic end users. The investors are largely Indian, Pakistani, Russian, CIS and European, buying one and two-bedroom units off-plan or on completion, attracted by new stock at a materially lower price than Al Barsha or Dubai Hills for what is a very similar commute. The end users are couples and small families who work in Barsha, Media City, Internet City or the healthcare cluster, and who want a modern apartment within striking distance of Mall of the Emirates.
The tenant market is the district's real strength: proximity to Al Barsha and Dubai Hills means demand comes from people who would rent there if it were cheaper, so occupancy is high. Resale competes directly with Arjan and Al Barsha South, both of which keep adding supply, so pricing has to be argued from current comparables.

What does a typical unit in Dubai Science Park sell for?+
The median registered price over the last three complete months is AED 1.00M, across 9,248 registered sales in three years. The register is as of 2 September 2026.
How many off-plan projects are there in Dubai Science Park?+
13 off-plan projects from 10 developers are catalogued in Dubai Science Park, priced from AED 650K, with handovers from 2018 to 2027. 4 are complete and 9 are under construction.
Is Dubai Science Park freehold?+
Yes. The residential plots in Dubai Science Park are designated freehold, so buyers of any nationality can own apartments outright with a title deed registered at the Dubai Land Department. The district sits within a TECOM free zone framework, and each building has an owners' association levying an annual service charge on every unit.
What is the trade-off compared with Dubai Hills Estate?+
Dubai Hills gives you a finished master community with a park, a golf course, a mall and schools, and it charges for all of it. Dubai Science Park sits minutes away with none of that inside its boundary, but with new apartments at a much lower entry price and the same road network. You are paying less and driving to the amenity rather than living in it.
Is it a business park or a place to live?+
Both, unevenly. The commercial core is genuinely a working science and pharmaceutical cluster, quiet outside office hours, while the residential blocks sit around its edges and function as ordinary apartment living. There is no community centre or promenade, so the district works best for people whose social life happens in Al Barsha, Dubai Hills or the coast rather than at home.
