Calculate 1-bedroom rental income for Al Barsha apartments. Mixed family and expat community with stable occupancy rates.
Well-managed 1BR units in Al Barsha achieve 72-78% annual occupancy. Winter (Dec-Feb) peaks at 82-85%, while summer (Jun-Aug) dips to 60-65%. Year-round occupancy depends on management quality and property condition.
Peak monthly income ranges from 11-14K AED during winter months. Summer months average 6-8K AED. With 72-78% average occupancy, expect ~8.5-10K AED monthly average across the year.
Key costs include: DTCM (tourism tax), DEWA (utilities), property management (8-12% of rental income), maintenance reserves (5%), and occasional furnishing replacements. Total operating costs average 30-35% of gross rental income.
Al Barsha offers solid returns (6.5-8% net yield) with lower entry costs than marina areas. Occupancy is more stable than distant communities, but 5-10% lower than ultra-prime beach locations. Best for investors prioritizing stability over peak seasons.
