    What is the difference between a villa and a townhouse in Dubai

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 12/28/2025
    In the Dubai market context a townhouse typically refers to a property that shares one or both side walls with a neighbor often called attached villas. A standalone villa generally has no shared walls and sits on an independent plot with a wrap around garden. Townhouses are usually more affordable and offer higher rental yields due to their lower entry price while independent villas offer more privacy and land area but come with a significantly higher price tag and lower percentage yields.
