Arjan is a new district located in Dubailand which is on the outskirts of Dubai. The area owes its fame to its 2 gorgeous parks, which are Dubai Miracle Garden and the Dubai Butterfly Garden. The Arjan district is a development of Dubai Holding and mainly consists of residential apartment buildings. The community is new (construction works started in 2006) and many buildings are still under construction or are just finished. Therefore there is little traffic congestion and low levels of noise, except for when you live near a construction site. Due to the calm peaceful location, the abundance of parks and greenery and the wide range of affordable apartments, this a popular area among young professionals and families with children.
Arjan is located not far from Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Motor City and Al Barsha South and is part of the greater Dubailand community. It is also located along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, making it easy to reach other parts of Dubai. The masterplan of Arjan consists of 10 development zones that make up a total of 157 plots. It is a mixed-development area, meaning that there will not only be residential buildings, but also offices, retail, and hotels.
