Dubai: As real estate prices surge across the UAE, investors looking to maximise return on investment (ROI) in 2025 may want to look beyond the usual hotspots.

According to Bloom Holding’s UAE Property Market Report 2025, several areas across the country have recorded massive five-year growth, particularly in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai.

Here are the top five locations that saw the highest property price appreciation between 2020 and 2025:

Naseem Villas, Sharjah
- Price appreciation: +243.27% growth
- Top reason for purchase: Affordable and family-focused, this villa community leads the UAE in price gains.
Remah, Al Ain, Abu Dhabi
- Price appreciation: +241.62% growth
- Top reason for purchase: One of Al Ain’s top freehold zones, Remah is popular among end-users and investors alike.
Zone 12, Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Abu Dhabi
- Price appreciation: +237.90% growth
- Top reason for purchase: A quiet residential enclave seeing strong demand due to infrastructure upgrades.
Meydan Avenue, Dubai
- Price appreciation: +204.47% growth
- Top reason for purchase: A promising off-plan hotspot close to Downtown, offering lifestyle and accessibility.
Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai
