Al Qusais
القصيصAl Qusais is a rental district. 10,362 rent contracts were recorded here in the last year, and no apartment, villa or townhouse sale is on record: almost none of the 18,880 units on record here is freehold, so homes rarely sell on the open market and there is no typical sale price to show.
Every rent figure below comes from Ejari rent contracts — the rent tenants agreed to pay, not the rent advertised.

Why no price-change figure?
Too few sales for a comparison. This area's recorded sales are too few, or too uneven, to show honestly which way prices have moved. Any figure we printed would be month-to-month noise, not a trend.
What exists here, and who may own it
Most figures on this page are about sales and rents. This one counts what exists, not what sold: the units on the Land Department’s register.
