The Springs is Emirates Living's volume townhouse market: fifteen gated enclaves of 2-, 3- and 4-bed townhouses around lakes, minutes from the Marina's employment core. It suits families upgrading from apartments and investors in Dubai's most liquid townhouse rental pool. It doesn't suit buyers wanting new-build spec, this is 2000s stock, renovated to wildly varying standards. What to watch: the registration area covers Emirates Living broadly, so we price by Springs type (4E, 3M…) against in-community comps. , Equity Edge analyst note

Questions buyers ask about The Springs
What does a villa cost in The Springs in 2026?
The median registered sale price for a The Springs villa is AED 4.36M (385 DLD-registered sales, 12 months to Sep 2026), or AED 1,675/sqft.
What do Springs type codes mean?
Emaar built standard layouts: type 3M is the 3-bed mid-unit, 4E the 2-bed end-unit, and so on, every Springs buyer and agent trades in these codes. Same type, same enclave, wildly different price depending on renovation and lake position; that’s the whole game here.
Is The Springs dated?
The bones are 2000s, but the location aged into prime, Marina-adjacent townhouses with gates and lakes can’t be rebuilt at today’s land values. Fully renovated units trade at substantial premiums to original condition; both markets are active.
Springs, Meadows or Lakes?
Same masterplan, three products: Springs is townhouses (entry point), Meadows is large standalone villas (the family upgrade), Lakes sits between with detached villas in leafier crescents. We cover each separately because they price and rent as different markets.
