Al Ghadeer Gardens 2: Townhouses and Villas from Aldar on the Abu Dhabi Border
Al Ghadeer Gardens 2 is a residential community developed by Aldar Properties PJSC. The project delivers townhouses and villas within the Al Ghadeer district, a master-planned area on the boundary between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
A Border Location With Two Cities in Range
Al Ghadeer occupies a distinctive position in the UAE. It sits on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai boundary, giving residents practical access to both cities without being anchored to either. The drive to Dubai Marina runs roughly 45 to 50 minutes. Abu Dhabi city centre sits a comparable distance in the other direction. Residents who split their work between the two emirates, or who want the quieter pace of a community setting while keeping major centres within reach, find the geography works in their favour.
This is not a city-centre address. Al Ghadeer trades walkability and urban density for space, greenery, and a contained community environment. That trade suits families who prioritise outdoor space and manageable commute times over proximity to a downtown core. Buyers looking for a high-footfall urban location will find it less relevant.
Two Property Types, Two Buyer Profiles
The project offers townhouses and villas, each suited to a distinct buyer profile.
Townhouses appeal to smaller families or couples who want private, house-format living within a managed community. The shared-wall structure keeps the footprint manageable and costs below what a standalone villa at the same address would command. For buyers who want a garden and a degree of privacy without the maintenance demands of a large detached home, a townhouse here is a practical choice.
Villas suit larger households. More floor area, more private outdoor space, and a greater degree of separation from neighbours. In a district where overall density is already low, a villa gives a family room to live and function with less compromise.
Both types benefit from the same community infrastructure. The choice between them comes down to scale and what a household needs day to day.
An Amenity Set Built Around Families
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Landscape | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining & Services | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor pool stands out. In the UAE, heat and humidity make outdoor swimming impractical for much of the year. An indoor facility extends usable access year-round. The gymnasium rounds out the fitness offer, and together they serve residents who treat these facilities as part of daily routine rather than occasional perks.
The on-site restaurant is an asset in a location away from dense retail and dining options. Driving for meals is part of life in communities like this; having a restaurant on site removes that friction for everyday convenience. The children's play area and landscaped gardens reinforce the community's family character. The amenity set is focused rather than extensive, but it is well-matched to the project's target resident: families who want reliable daily infrastructure in a managed, low-density setting.
Getting In for 5%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Handover | 45% |
A 5% down payment means buyers commit a small fraction of the total price at signing. That entry threshold suits buyers with strong income but limited liquid capital at the time of purchase.
The construction period carries 50% of the purchase price, spread across instalments as the build progresses. The remaining 45% falls at handover, making it the single largest one-time payment in the structure. Buyers who fit this plan are consistent earners who can absorb the construction payments steadily and who have the handover balance accessible at completion.
