Should You Buy in Living Legends?
An honest guide to buying property in Living Legends, Dubai — including the renovation costs nobody tells you about.
Quick Facts
The Community
A boutique villa community adjacent to Dubai Land with spacious plots and a quieter, more exclusive feel than neighbouring developments. Freehold ownership available for all nationalities. The community features a central park, mosque, and community centre, with easy access to Academic City and Silicon Oasis.
Renovation Reality Check
Living Legends offers large plots at great prices. Budget AED 80K-400K for renovation to unlock the full potential.
Based on our experience working in Living Legends, here are the most common renovation needs:
Developer finish upgrades
Standard finishes from Tanmiyat are functional but plain. Kitchen, bathroom, and flooring upgrades bring the interiors in line with the generous plot sizes.
Landscaping and outdoor areas
Large plots with basic or incomplete landscaping. Professional garden design, pool installation, and outdoor entertainment areas add significant value.
Glass and aluminium upgrades
Standard window and door systems can be upgraded to floor-to-ceiling glass, bifolding doors, and aluminium pergolas.
Villa extension potential
Generous plot ratios allow for ground-floor extensions, covered parking additions, and maid's room builds where not already included.
What We'd Budget
For a typical villa in Living Legends, renovation costs range from AED 80,000–400,000 depending on scope. Kitchen-only renovations start lower, while full villa transformations with pool and landscaping sit at the top end.
