Factors influencing price

Several factors influence the price of a villa in Dubai, particularly in the Damac Lagoons district. Firstly, the size of the house. A 2 or 3-bedroom villa will be less expensive than a townhouse or a 5 or even 6-bedroom villa! Then there's the question of the neighborhood. A semi-detached house generally costs less than a completely independent villa. Finally, there's the question of ancillary services.
