International City Phase 2

International City Phase 2 is a residential expansion of the original International City master community, located in the Warsan area of east Dubai. It continues the low-to-mid-rise apartment format of the parent community, targeting budget-conscious buyers and investors seeking high rental yields.

Location & connectivity

The community sits off Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), providing direct access toward Dubai Silicon Oasis, Al Warsan, and the Nad Al Sheba corridor. There is no metro station within walking distance; residents rely on personal vehicles or the RTA bus routes that serve the broader International City area. Key drive times: approximately 20 minutes to DIFC, 15 minutes to Dubai Silicon Oasis, and 25 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB).

Property mix

The community is dominated by apartment buildings arranged in clusters, broadly following the country-themed naming convention of Phase 1. Specific confirmed sub-clusters include:

• •Apartments: Mid-rise residential blocks across various clusters (exact building names should be verified against developer/DLD records)
• •Studios and 1-bedroom units make up the majority of the stock
• •Larger 2-bedroom units are available but less common

Schools

There are no schools located inside International City Phase 2 itself. Nearby options include:

• •Gems Winchester School, Nad Al Sheba — approximately 15-min drive, British curriculum
• •Dubai International School, Al Quoz — approximately 20-min drive
• •GEMS Modern Academy, Nad Al Sheba — approximately 15-min drive, CBSE curriculum

Healthcare

Dedicated hospitals are not within the community. Nearby facilities include:

• •Aster Hospital, Al Qusais — approximately 15-min drive
• •NMC Royal Hospital, Al Warsan — approximately 10-min drive
• •Mediclinic Welcare Hospital, Garhoud — approximately 20-min drive

Shopping & dining

Dragon Mart 1 and Dragon Mart 2 are the dominant retail destinations, sitting adjacent to International City and reachable in under 5 minutes by car. They cover household goods, electronics, and a wide range of dining options. For mainstream supermarkets, Carrefour and Lulu Hypermarket branches in the Silicon Oasis and Al Warsan areas are within a 10–15 minute drive.

Parks & leisure

Formatted green space within Phase 2 is limited; the community has pedestrian pathways and small open areas between clusters but no large public parks. The nearest significant green space is Mushrif Park, approximately 15 minutes by car. Dragon Mart's retail and F&B offering serves as the primary leisure outlet for most residents.

Things to consider

International City Phase 2 is one of Dubai's most affordable ownership markets, which attracts high tenant demand but also means density, aging infrastructure in some buildings, and limited on-site amenities. Buyers should factor in the distance from the beach (30-plus minutes to Jumeirah) and the near-total reliance on a car for daily errands.
