Living Legends Phase 5, Dubai
Phase 5 is the latest addition to the Living Legends community, built by Amer Alghurair Development. Living Legends is a self-contained gated neighborhood in Dubai, positioned away from the commercial density of the city center. That geography shapes the buyer profile for this project more than any other single factor.
A Quieter District, Accessible but Not Central
Living Legends sits in one of Dubai's inland residential districts, connected to Emirates Road. For buyers prioritizing space, greenery, and a lower-density daily environment, that is the appeal. Residents commuting to Downtown Dubai or Business Bay are looking at roughly 25 to 35 minutes in normal conditions. For those working in Mirdif, Al Barsha, or along the airport corridor, the commute is shorter. This community suits buyers who have already decided that walkability and proximity to commercial strips are not what they are optimizing for.
What AED 693K to AED 2.4M Buys You Here
The price range across this phase is notably wide. AED 693,725 is the entry point. AED 2,393,304 is the ceiling. For a project selling only apartments, a spread of this size reflects a range of unit sizes and floor positions rather than different product tiers.
The buyer at the lower end is likely purchasing a compact apartment, either as a first investment or a starter home. The buyer at the upper end is looking for substantially more space and comparing this against larger alternatives at similar price points in the area. Both buyer types fit this location. The low end and the high end serve very different needs.
Apartments for Families and Investors
Living Legends Phase 5 offers apartments across the full price range. The community context and amenity set point toward families as the target resident. For investors, the rental case rests on demand from families who want a gated, green environment with quality shared facilities.
What the Amenity Set Tells You
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Social | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
The indoor pool is the standout here. In Dubai, outdoor pools become uncomfortably warm for months at a stretch. An indoor pool extends usable hours year-round. The barbecue area and children's play space reinforce the family orientation of the project. Having restaurants within the community reduces the need to leave for casual meals, which carries real weight in a district where a car is needed for most external errands.
Where the Project Stands Today
Construction started in January 2024. The expected completion date was March 2025, which has passed. Buyers looking at this project are dealing with a completed or near-final-delivery building rather than a conventional off-plan commitment.
Getting In at 20% Down
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 10% |
| Post-handover | 30% |
The 20% down payment is standard for Dubai off-plan. The more significant feature is the 30% post-handover component. Buyers take keys having paid 70% of the total price, with the remainder spread after possession. For an end-user, this eases cash flow after moving in. For an investor, rental income starts before the purchase is fully settled. The 10% due at handover is low, which reduces the financial pressure at the moment of taking keys.
