A waterfront community with views of Downtown
Dubai Creek Harbour is taking shape on the banks of Dubai Creek, as a single, coherent master community by Emaar. The layout is built around residential towers, waterside promenades, a marina and parks.
Opposite lies the Ras Al Khor nature reserve, known for its flamingos, giving the community a contact with nature that is rare in Dubai. From many apartments you can see the Downtown skyline and Burj Khalifa across the water.
What you buy here
The market splits between apartments in towers already handed over and off-plan units in further phases. Ready addresses include Creek Beach, Harbour Views, Address Harbour Point, Creek Gate and Dubai Creek Residences.
We help you compare ready homes with off-plan, weigh them against your budget and timeline, and then carry out the purchase, including for units bought during construction.
- Ready-to-move apartments in handed-over waterside towers
- Off-plan units in new Emaar phases, with payment plans spread across stages
- Studios and one and two-bedroom apartments to start your presence in the community
- Larger family units and penthouses with views over the water and Downtown
Who Dubai Creek Harbour suits
It is a choice for those who want to live in, or buy an apartment in, a new waterfront part of Dubai, close to the centre but with its own promenade and marina.
It works well for buyers after fresh floor space, an open view and a calmer setting than dense Downtown, while keeping a short run into it.
What to look out for
With off-plan units, the build stage, the stated handover date and the payment plan tied to progress all matter. It is also worth checking the floor number and aspect, since views over the water and Burj Khalifa set apartments apart.
Added to the bill is the service charge for the tower and common areas, and on purchase the DLD registration fee of 4%. Off-plan is registered in the Oqood system. We work this through with you before you decide.
- Build stage and stated handover date for off-plan
- Payment plan spread across construction milestones
- Floor and direction of the view, water versus the Downtown skyline
- The level of service charge in a given tower
We verify the developer's documents and the terms of the contract before you sign.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I buy a ready apartment in Dubai Creek Harbour, or only off-plan?
Both are available. Some towers are handed over and you can move in straight away, while Emaar is selling off-plan units in new phases alongside them. We show both so you can compare timelines and prices.
What do the off-plan payment plans look like in this community?
The developer spreads payment across stages tied to construction progress, in practice often close to 60/40 or 70/30, with the balance on handover. The exact schedule depends on the phase, and we check it for the chosen unit.
Can a foreigner buy property here on full ownership?
Yes, Dubai Creek Harbour is a freehold zone, so an overseas buyer takes full ownership. On purchase there is the DLD registration fee of 4%, and off-plan units are registered in the Oqood system.
What does being next to the Ras Al Khor sanctuary bring?
The reserve lies opposite the community, across the water, and is home to flamingos. For residents that means an open view onto nature and less building on that side, which is rare so close to the centre of Dubai.
