Nara Phase 2 by Emaar: Townhouses in The Valley from AED 1.34M
Emaar Properties is behind this second phase of Nara, a townhouse community within The Valley on Dubai's Al Ain Road corridor. If you know Emaar's master-planned communities, the format is familiar: mid-scale family housing with a defined amenity set and a structured payment plan.
The Valley: Distance from the Centre, Gain in Space
The Valley sits roughly 35 kilometres east of Downtown Dubai along the Al Ain Road (E66). Buyers choosing this address are trading central access for more space and lower per-square-foot pricing. The community connects directly to the E66, which is the main artery toward the city core. Academic City and Dubai Silicon Oasis are to the north.
For daily commuters, the distance to the CBD is the defining trade-off at this address. For households that don't commute to the centre every day, it's a reasonable exchange for what the pricing delivers at this level.
3 and 4-Bedroom Townhouses: Two Entry Points
Nara Phase 2 offers two configurations:
- 3-bedroom townhouses: Type A and Type B layouts, from 2,057 to 2,081 sq ft, starting at AED 1,340,000
- 4-bedroom townhouses: Type A and Type B layouts, from 2,322 to 2,325 sq ft, starting at AED 1,840,000
The size gap between the two tiers is modest, around 265 sq ft. The price gap is AED 500,000. That differential is about the bedroom more than the raw square footage.
At roughly AED 651 per sq ft on the 3-bedroom and AED 791 per sq ft on the 4-bedroom, these numbers are accessible for Emaar product in Dubai. Buyers at the low end are smaller households or investors seeking lower capital commitment. The 4-bedroom suits growing families willing to stretch on capital.
Getting In for 10%
The payment structure is the standout feature of this project:
| Milestone | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Post handover | 40% |
10% down is the headline figure. On the 3-bedroom entry price of AED 1.34M, that's AED 134,000 upfront to secure the unit. On the 4-bedroom at AED 1.84M, it's AED 184,000. Both are low entry barriers relative to typical Dubai off-plan norms.
The 40% post-handover tranche is the more meaningful benefit. Nearly half the total cost comes after you receive keys. For buyers who can service payments incrementally rather than deploying large lump sums upfront, this structure significantly reduces the immediate cash requirement. The mid-phase 50% is spread across construction milestones.
Amenities: Community Basics
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Shared Pool, Barbecue Area, Community Park |
| Lifestyle | Well-being and Fitness, Retail Facilities, Mosque |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Seven amenities covering the core suburban family checklist: a pool, a park, fitness, on-site retail, and a mosque. No sports courts or extended lifestyle facilities are listed.
The amenity set is functional rather than resort-level. That fits the price point and signals the project's target: families looking for space and basic community infrastructure rather than high-end lifestyle facilities. Service charge expectations should reflect the lean facility list.
Construction Began February 2023
Construction on Nara Phase 2 started in February 2023. The original expected completion was December 2023, a date that has now passed. Depending on actual delivery progress, units may already be handed over or close to it. Buyers entering now are likely looking at a near-complete or completed product rather than a long off-plan wait.
