Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) Area Guide 2026: Prices, Yields & Community

Dubai Silicon Oasis is a working technology free zone with real housing built around it — apartments priced closer to International City than Downtown, villas gated inside Cedre and Semmer, and yields that still lead much of mainstream Dubai even as prices correct in 2026. This guide sets out current prices, rents and real yields by property type, explains what freehold actually means on DSOA-governed land, and covers schools, service charges, connectivity and the metro station RTA has confirmed for 2029.
