Should You Buy in Reem?
An honest guide to buying property in Reem, Dubai — including the renovation costs nobody tells you about.
Quick Facts
The Community
Part of the Town Square development by Nshama and adjacent communities, Reem offers affordable family-friendly townhouse living with parks, retail, and community facilities. Compact but well-designed units that attract first-time villa buyers and young families looking for more space than an apartment.
Renovation Reality Check
Reem townhouses offer great value but compact spaces need smart design. Budget AED 80K-300K for renovations that maximise every square foot.
Based on our experience working in Reem, here are the most common renovation needs:
Small kitchen upgrades
Compact kitchens with limited counter space. Clever design with pull-out storage, wall-mounted racks, and multi-function islands can transform usability.
Bathroom refresh
Standard developer bathrooms with basic tiles and chrome fixtures. A focused refresh with statement tiles, modern fixtures, and glass enclosures makes a big impact.
Storage solutions
Townhouses lack built-in storage. Custom under-stair cabinets, bedroom wardrobes, and garage organisation systems are essential additions.
Garden and patio design
Small gardens with potential. Artificial grass, compact pools or plunge pools, and vertical planting create outdoor living spaces.
What We'd Budget
For a typical villa in Reem, renovation costs range from AED 80,000–300,000 depending on scope. Kitchen-only renovations start lower, while full villa transformations with pool and landscaping sit at the top end.
