Jordan Yaffe · Villa & Townhouse Specialist
Focused. 1-1 service. No hype.
I'm Jordan Yaffe. I bring sixteen years of real estate experience and a track record of more than 400 properties sold. Over that time I have built a proven approach: helping investors exit their investments at handover, and helping home owners find a brand-new home in Dubai's most in-demand family communities.
I have followed Jebel Ali Village from Nakheel's first off-plan launch event in 2021 and been involved in its journey ever since. My mission, with the help of my clients, is to bring the village to life, filled with new families enjoying this beautiful community.
Six townhouse clusters and three villa clusters make up Jebel Ali Village. A total of 834 townhouses and just 278 villas. Understanding each of these clusters is your first step.
The largest cluster in the village. The current pricing benchmark has been set by the first set of mortgage transactions.
The smallest townhouse cluster in JAV. Fewer homes could lead to fewer listings, and low density has the potential to shape the achieved sales price.
A close split of three and four beds, it will be interesting to see which type is in more demand as the community matures.
The cluster most led by four-bedroom townhouses, nearly two for every three-bed.
The second smallest cluster in the village, with only 24 three-beds in existence.
The first of only three villa clusters, 278 villas against 834 townhouses village-wide and the closest cluster to the JAV Recreation Club.
Very similar to JAV-04, which makes cross-cluster comparables consistent, useful for both sides of a negotiation.
The only cluster where five-beds outnumber four-beds, the deepest pool of the village's largest homes.
A four-bed-weighted townhouse cluster rounding out the village. Position within the cluster will have a big influence on price.

Inside Jebel Ali Village — Nakheel's official tour of the community as 892 homes are handed over.
Jebel Ali Village sits just off Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) in southern Dubai, on the elevated, tree-lined ground of one of the city's original communities. Its neighbours are The Gardens, Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan. Ibn Battuta Mall and its Red Line metro station are around six minutes away, a connection few Dubai villa communities can offer. One direction on the E11 leads to Dubai Marina, the other to Expo City and Al Maktoum International Airport.

Snagging is the final step before you take handover. Your last chance to inspect the property and raise any final issues. Many owners attend these appointments alone, seeing their unit for the first time. That can be a costly mistake.
When I represent you, I commit to selling your property within the next 30 days. That promise is backed by five commitments — this is how your sale actually gets delivered.
Finding the right property in Jebel Ali Village comes with strategy, timing and understanding.
Tell me what your family needs. I will find the home that fits it.
Green space and family infrastructure are what hold end-user demand in a community — and end-user demand is what gives your villa resale depth. This is what the Nakheel masterplan delivers across the village.

What is selling, what the numbers say, and what owners and buyers here should know this quarter. New notes are added regularly.
A record AED 4.9M 3-bed townhouse, a second 5-bed villa sale at AED 11M, and proof the village prices plots with remarkable consistency.
Read the note →The Jebel Ali Recreation Club has been open since 1977 — through the village emptying twice, the crash and the rebuild. Nearly fifty years of history, and why it matters to buyers now.
Read the note →UK, CBSE and IB options within 15 minutes, KHDA ratings, drive times, and the questions parents actually ask.
Read the note →Based on DLD confirmed transfers from July to September 2026, 3-bed townhouses sold between AED 4.1M and 4.9M, 4-bed townhouses between AED 4.95M and 6.4M, and 4-bed villas between AED 7.5M and 9.275M. 5-bed villas have transferred at AED 11.0M and 11.6M. The sold prices on this page are what buyers actually paid. Each transaction is based on unit position, size, floor plan and seller motivation. If you want your exact price, ask me for a valuation.
Jebel Ali Village is developed by Nakheel, the master developer behind Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Islands and Dubai Islands. The village is a rebuild of one of Dubai's original 1980s communities. That is why it has mature trees and real green space most new communities cannot match. When you buy here, you are buying the developer as much as the home. Nakheel's name is part of what buyers are paying for.
Jebel Ali Recreation Club is the social heart of the village, and one of Dubai's original clubs, dating back to 1977. Inside you will find Guy Fieri's Kitchen & Bar, C House Milano, and the newly arrived Irish bar McCafferty's. The sporting facilities — the gym, pools, tennis, squash and padel courts, and the dine-in cinema — are being renovated and are returning to the community with a fresh, upgraded look. Residents have all of it on their doorstep.
Every home in the village is different, and your value comes down to the details. Floor plan type, unit position, view, plot size and timing. I build your valuation from real-time DLD transactional data, not portal asking prices. The valuation is free and there is no obligation attached.
Service charges in Jebel Ali Village are charged at around AED 4 per square foot, so the total amount depends on your property type and plot size. Rates are set annually. Ask me and I will confirm the current figure for your exact unit against the DLD's Dubai REST app.
Registered rental contracts since August 2026 show 3-bed townhouses letting between AED 185,000 and 240,000 a year, 4-bed townhouses between AED 210,000 and 310,000, 4-bed villas annualising around AED 365,000 to 400,000, and 5-bed villas at AED 400,000 to 475,000 a year. The spread is wide, and position, plot and condition decide where you land. If you are weighing up letting against selling, I will give you both numbers.
It depends on what you buy and what you pay. The fundamentals are strong. A Nakheel masterplan, 834 townhouses and just 278 villas in the entire village, highly rated schools minutes away, and genuine family demand that supports resale. Position, type and entry price will decide your outcome. My job is to make sure you get all three right.
Yes. Completed, handed-over homes are mortgageable through UAE banks in the normal way. Expat buyers can typically borrow up to 80% on a first home under AED 5M. Non-handed-over units on a payment plan work slightly differently and sometimes require a higher cash deposit. If you need advice on mortgage options, I work with a panel of mortgage advisors who can help.
The Winchester School and Delhi Private School, both rated Very Good by KHDA, are minutes from the village in The Gardens, with The Arbor School around ten minutes away in Al Furjan. Ibn Battuta Mall and its Red Line metro station are around six minutes from your door. Very few villa communities in Dubai offer schools, metro and a mall this close.
Leave your details and I will keep you posted on villas worth knowing about — whether you are buying, selling, or just keeping an eye. Straight updates, nothing else.
