Oxford Gardens, Arjan
Oxford Gardens rises eleven storeys and was completed in 2025, which makes it one of the newer buildings you can book in Arjan. Iman Developers is the company behind it. Most buildings in this district are low to mid-rise. Eleven floors put you higher above the street than the blocks around you, with a lift to get you there.
The homes are studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments, which is a wider spread than most Arjan buildings offer. A roof or deck area sits at the top of the building, and landscaped gardens sit at the bottom. Between the two you get a building that has outdoor space at both ends rather than only a pool deck.

What eleven floors change about a stay
Eleven floors of apartments mean more neighbours than a low-rise block has, and a building of that size comes with security and CCTV cover, which Oxford Gardens has. Parking is reserved for residents, which counts for something in a district where parking is a major concern and permits are paid.
Cafes or restaurants sit on site. The first coffee needs no trip. Maintenance services are provided at the building too. That is the line to look for in a month-long booking.
Green space, schools and the clinic list
Arjan Community Park and Diamond Park have playgrounds and pet areas, and a central park stays open around the clock. Arjan Central Park is a named park serving the community as well.
Safa Community School is British and IB. Nord Anglia International School is British. Next Generation School teaches the American curriculum, and GEMS New Millennium School follows the CBSE. Happy Bees Early Learning Centre and Chubby Cheeks Nursery are the early-years centres named for Arjan.
Medcare Medical Centre operates inside Arjan and offers outpatient and family medical services. Arjan has no major hospital of its own, while neighbouring Al Barsha has several that people use.
An evening on the boulevard
Zest Restaurant and Grill Master are among the dining options named for Arjan, with Desert Wok and Shakespeare and Co close behind. My Govindas and Pitfire Pizza are restaurants here too. When you would rather stay in, Talabat and Careem deliver to the community.
Noodle House, Khaana Badosh, Bao Kitchen and Drip Burgers are restaurants listed for Arjan, and Tim Hortons and House of Monte Cristo are the cafes. A slow morning after a late landing has more than one place to go.
Arjan Mosque is the main community mosque, and Al Karmastaji Mosque and Aamina Moossa Geepas Masjid are also named for the area.
Arjan was inaugurated in 2006 as part of the Dubailand master community. Dubai Properties Group developed it as a mixed-use area of mid-rise buildings. It is freehold, so foreigners can buy and own property. Burj View Arjan and Samana Park Views are two other Arjan buildings with guides on this site, and either gives you a comparison point if Oxford Gardens does not fit your dates.
Flowers, butterflies and a day at the beach
Dubai Miracle Garden covers 72,000 square metres outdoors and shows more than 200 million flowers, with displays such as a floral Emirates A380 and Heart Tunnel. Dubai Floral Clock and Smurfs Village are two further attractions listed beside the gardens close to Arjan. Together they fill a weekend afternoon for a family.
Miracle Garden is a cool-season attraction, closed through the summer months. It reopens in October. Dubai Butterfly Garden stays open all year, with its butterflies kept in climate-controlled domes, which makes it the indoor option when the heat arrives.
Kite Beach is a drive. So is Jumeirah Beach, and both are the public beaches that people in Arjan head to by car, which makes a beach day a half-day outing rather than a stroll.
Landing, keys and the first two days
Arjan sits at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Street (D63). A taxi from Dubai International (DXB) reaches it in one leg. A reception desk for residents is the first face you meet, so keys and building questions go through one place.
For the first evening, Lifco Supermarket is in Platinum One Tower and Al Wafa Supermarket is in Miraclz Tower by Danube, both inside Arjan. Carrefour and Grandiose are the larger brands named for the district, with Nesto and Viva as the neighbourhood options. Life Pharmacy and Aster Pharmacy cover the medicine cabinet, alongside Rx Now Pharmacy.
The weekly trolley is a drive. Arjan has little supermarket and retail choice compared with its neighbours, so larger shops mean a trip to a nearby community. First Avenue Mall in Motor City, Circle Mall in JVC and Galleria Mall Al Barsha are among the places people go.
Couple, family, laptop: who uses which floor
A couple gets the most from the residents' lounge or function room and the on-site cafes, with the gardens for a slow walk afterwards. Together they make an evening that never leaves the building. It is a quiet way to spend a night when the city outside is hot and busy, and because the whole evening costs one lift ride and one table, you can decide at six o'clock whether to go out at all.
A family starts with the children's play area and the swimming pool, which are both in the building. Beyond the gate, Arjan has basketball and football courts, padel courts and open grassy areas, so a second outing is easy once the first one has worn everybody out.
If you are working from the apartment, the gym inside the building gives the day a hard edge, one workout before the first call and another after the last. The residents' lounge gives you a second room to open a laptop in when the flat feels small, and the cafes on site mean the coffee that goes with a long afternoon of calls never needs a trip across the district. It suits you less if you need a busy co-working scene, because Arjan is a calm residential district with tree-lined streets.
The road, the bus and the Red Line
Al Khail Road and Hessa Street are also reachable from Arjan, giving drivers three major highway options toward Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. Traffic builds at peak hours, and the drive to Jumeirah Village Circle loops around and slows then, because the two have little direct road connection.
There is no metro station inside Arjan. Al Furjan Metro Station is the closest Red Line stop named for the community, reached by road. RTA bus F36 runs from inside Arjan to Mall of the Emirates Bus Station, but bus stops are few, so public transport is thin and most people use a car or taxi for daily trips.
If you own here
Parking in Arjan is tight, and some owners pay for an annual parking permit on top of the space that comes with the unit. Royale Stays manages homes for owners from a management fee of 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communication and maintenance. Our guide to Arjan for owners sets out the permit steps. To see how the work is split, read what Royale Stays handles for an owner day to day.
