Property price growth by area in Abu Dhabi
Capital appreciation across 21 Abu Dhabi areas: residential median AED per sqft over the last 12 complete months against the 12 months before. Both windows need at least 30 residential sales — a ratio of two noisy medians would paint confident numbers out of nothing.
Data through Sep 2026. Same figures, same thresholds as the Esto app’s map — this page is the crawlable twin of the growth lens.
