About The Community, JVT
The Community is a freehold, 30-storey residential tower (plus one basement parking level) in JVT District 3, Jumeirah Village Triangle, Dubai, developed by Aqua Properties through its subsidiary Aqua Developments. Construction ran from October 2014, and Dubai Land Department-linked registry data places construction as finished by January 2025, though Aqua Developments’ own marketing has at times cited an earlier 2023 completion date.
The building is built around a co-living, hotel-apartment concept: 261 individually owned freehold units across studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, marketed toward young professionals, entrepreneurs and investors seeking a fully furnished, sociable living arrangement with shared communal spaces. Dubai Land Department transaction records for this project are registered as hotel-room units, reflecting this shared-management operating model, while ownership itself is freehold and openly traded on the resale market.
Not to be confused with two other, separate Aqua Properties developments that also carry the "Community" name: The Community Sports Arena and The Community, Motor City, both different projects in different parts of Dubai.
The Community JVT Location and Nearby Landmarks
The Community sits in JVT District 3, recorded on Dubai Land Department records under the community name Al Barsha South Fifth, on the edge of Jumeirah Village Triangle, Dubai. The location places residents within easy reach of several of Dubai’s major leisure and business districts by car.
Nearby landmarks and drive times include Dubai Mall in around 25 minutes, Palm Jumeirah in around 17 minutes, Burj Al Arab in around 23 minutes and The Walk JBR in around 17 minutes. The nearest schools are Arcadia British School, about 0.6 km away, and Sunmarke School, about 1.1 km away. Nearby neighbourhoods include Dubai Production City, Midtown by Deyaar, The Springs, Victory Heights, Jumeirah Golf Estates and Jumeirah Village Circle. The Community joins Royale Stays’ other standalone Jumeirah Village Triangle building guides, including Terhab Hotel & Towers, JVT and Taraf 2 Residence, JVT.
The Community JVT Unit Types
The Community offers 261 units across three layouts. Studios range from 272 to 454 sq ft, one-bedroom apartments range from 377 to 712 sq ft, and two-bedroom apartments are sized around 748 sq ft. Every unit is designed as a fully furnished hotel apartment with a private bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom, while a range of communal facilities are shared across the building.
Interiors are finished to a co-living, hospitality-style standard with quality fixtures and the option of designer furniture packages, and the building includes co-working floors with flexible workspace for residents working from home.
Amenities at The Community, JVT
The Community packs an unusually wide amenity set into roughly 22,000 sq ft of shared space: a cinema, a bowling lane, a golf simulator, a gaming hub, a social lounge, a fully equipped gymnasium, a spa, a yoga club, a swimming pool, a food court, an on-site convenience store, a library, co-working areas, a barbecue area, and a steam room and sauna.
PropahTea, the building’s own cafe and restaurant, sits alongside the food court, and meeting lounges are set within a quadruple-height lobby designed to encourage residents to socialise and connect, consistent with the building’s co-living concept.
Transportation and Access from The Community, JVT
The Community sits on the edge of Jumeirah Village Triangle, giving residents direct road access toward Dubai’s major business and tourism districts. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 33 minutes’ drive, and Al Maktoum International Airport is roughly 29 minutes’ drive.
Reaching Dubai Marina, JBR and the wider western Dubai corridor from the building typically takes 15 to 20 minutes by car, with Downtown Dubai a similar distance in the opposite direction. The location suits residents and guests who want reasonably central access to Dubai’s key districts while staying in a quieter, more residential part of the city.
The Community JVT Price Guide
Dubai Land Department resale transaction data gives the clearest current picture of pricing at The Community. A 279 sq ft studio sold for AED 589,038 in late August 2026, in line with other recent studio sales ranging from around AED 460,888 to AED 470,000 for similarly sized units.
One-bedroom units have recently traded from around AED 435,990 up to AED 605,888 depending on size (371 to 509 sq ft), while a two-bedroom unit of 757 sq ft sold for AED 1,000,000. Reported launch prices from portal listings varied between roughly AED 299,000 and AED 494,000 depending on the source and unit type, so current resale data is the more reliable guide to today’s market.
Airbnb and Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Jumeirah Village Triangle sits outside Royale Stays’ current core managed areas of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay, so there is no existing Royale Stays listing or earnings track record to share for The Community specifically.
Because The Community operates on a hotel-apartment, co-living model, a short-term rental permit for an individual unit here is typically arranged through the building’s own management company rather than as a standalone owner application to Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, the same routing that applies to other hotel and serviced-apartment buildings across Dubai. Owners considering The Community for short-term letting should confirm current permit and management terms directly with the building before listing.
Royale Stays manages short-term rental properties across Dubai for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communication and maintenance. Owners in Jumeirah Village Triangle who want to explore management options are welcome to reach out directly to discuss whether a listing at The Community could be supported.
