About The Pulse Residence
The Pulse Residence is a three-building residential complex in The Pulse, Dubai South Residential District, part of Dubai South. The development comprises The Pulse Residence 1, The Pulse Residence 2 and The Pulse Residence 3, each rising 11 storeys, with a combined total of 239 units. It was developed by Dubai South Properties, registered in September 2016, with construction starting in December 2016 and completing in February 2020.
The Pulse Residence is a distinct development within the wider Pulse community and should not be confused with the separately-numbered "The Pulse Residence Park" (Park B3 and Park B4, a 190-unit complex nearby), "The Pulse Boulevard Apartments" (a separate C1-C3 block series) or "The Pulse Residence Plaza" (a separate B8-B9 block series). Each is its own named, independently DLD-registered project within The Pulse master community, developed by the same Dubai South Properties.
Developer, building count, storeys, total units and construction timeline confirmed via propsearch.ae and dxboffplan.com, both checked independently. Disambiguation from sibling Pulse developments confirmed via both portals' own separate listings for each named project, and matches the disambiguation already published on the live The Pulse Residence Park guide.

Unit Types
The Pulse Residence offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments across its 229 residential units, plus 10 ground-floor commercial shops. The residential breakdown is 27 studios, 74 one-bedroom units, 103 two-bedroom units and 25 three-bedroom units.
Unit-mix breakdown sourced from dxboffplan.com's project fact sheet (Commercial 10, Residential 229: Studio 27, 1BR 74, 2BR 103, 3BR 25). Propsearch.ae's own DLD-sourced transaction records independently show recurring studio, 1-bed, 2-bed and 3-bed flat sales and mortgages across the three buildings, consistent with (though not an independent count-level confirmation of) this exact breakdown.
Amenities
The Pulse Residence’s residents share The Pulse community’s lifestyle facilities: swimming pools, children's play areas, fitness facilities, sports facilities, landscaped parks and open green spaces, and community retail and lifestyle conveniences within the ground-floor commercial units.
Amenities confirmed via propsearch.ae's building guide (parks and community facilities) and dxboffplan.com's own building/community amenities listing for The Pulse Residence.
Transportation & Access
From The Pulse Residence it takes roughly 34 minutes to drive to Dubai Mall, 34 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 31 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 34 minutes to The Walk JBR. Al Maktoum International Airport is roughly 18 minutes' drive, while Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 35 minutes' drive. As with most of Dubai South, day-to-day travel relies on a car; there is no metro station directly serving The Pulse community.

Sale Price & Market Trends
Recent Dubai Land Department-registered transactions for The Pulse Residence range roughly from around AED 650,000 for a smaller one-bedroom resale up to around AED 1,515,000 for a larger three-bedroom unit, per propsearch.ae’s most recent sample. A wider sample of 121 tracked transactions on dxboffplan.com shows a similar overall range, from AED 500,000 for a studio up to AED 1,645,000 for a three-bedroom unit, with an average sale price of AED 795,205 and a current resale asking price starting from AED 1,425,000.
Price ranges sourced from propsearch.ae's and dxboffplan.com's own Dubai Land Department-linked transaction tables, both checked independently. Two outlier transactions were excluded as unrepresentative of market pricing: a studio Grant (gift) transfer at AED 171,978 and a 1-bed transaction at AED 8,923 (both non-arm's-length or partial-payment records, not open-market sales). The two remaining ranges overlap and most likely reflect different transaction-date snapshots and unit-size mixes rather than a data conflict.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai South is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide does not claim a Royale Stays management track record at The Pulse Residence specifically. Dubai South Properties is a private real estate developer rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home in the building.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Royale Stays can arrange the permit application and manage the day-to-day operation, including for owners based overseas, for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for the current permit process.
