Pros of Living in Al Jazzat Sharjah
Al Jazzat is an established residential community in the Al Riqqa suburb of Sharjah. The streets follow a neat grid of low-rise villas, many hidden behind high walls and mature trees, with a small cluster of shops, cafeterias and services in the middle. It is not a gated community, yet it feels quiet once you turn off the main roads.
Here’s why many families choose to settle in Jazzat Sharjah.
Central Location
First of all, Al Jazzat sits close to the heart of Sharjah. Cultural Square, home to the Sharjah Science Museum and Sharjah Archaeology Museum, is right on its southern edge. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Saqr Al Qasimi Street runs along the western side of the neighbourhood, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi Street along the east, and Sheikh Khalid Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Street along the north, so you can reach the city’s main roads within minutes.
As for its neighbours, Al Hazana and Al Sabkha are to the north, Al Falaj and Al Azra are to the east, and Al Ramla and Al Abar, both part of Halwan, are to the west and south. Here are some typical drive times from Al Jazzat:
- Al Montazah Parks: 13 minutes
- Al Majaz Waterfront: 14 minutes
- Sharjah International Airport: 15 minutes
- Al Khan Beach: 18 minutes
- University City Sharjah: 20 minutes
Spacious Villas
Villas are the main property type here. You will find stand-alone and semi-attached homes, usually with 3 to 5 bedrooms, while some of the larger plots hold 6 and 7-bedroom villas. Most come with a majlis, a maid’s room, covered parking and a private garden. Apartments are rare, so the area mainly suits families who want room to spread out.
For buyers, Property Finder’s Area Insights shows villa asking prices in Al Jazzat ranging from about AED 2 million to AED 3 million, with a median of around AED 2.6 million.

Nearby Options in Al Khezamia
If you can’t find the right home in Al Jazzat itself, take a look at Al Khezamia, a short drive south in Halwan. It offers the same kind of large family villas. Most villas for rent in Al Khezamia are advertised at about AED 110,000 to AED 150,000 a year, with 3 to 5 bedrooms. Smaller families can start with the 3-bedroom villas for rent in Al Khezamia, or browse all rental properties in Al Khezamia.
Buyers have choices here as well. There are villas for sale in Al Khezamia with 3 to 7+ bedrooms, and you can widen the search to every property for sale in Al Khezamia or across the wider Halwan suburb, which also includes Al Ramla, Al Abar and Al Ghubaiba.
Family-Friendly Setting
Furthermore, daily life here is built around family. The villas have their own parking spaces, the inner streets are calm, and there is a park and a football ground in the centre. Schools, a health centre, mosques and a 24-hour supermarket are all inside the community, so most errands don’t involve a long drive.

Cons of Living in Al Jazzat
On the other hand, living in Al Jazzat does come with a few drawbacks. Keep the following in mind before you make the move.
Limited Apartment Options
For starters, the neighbourhood is almost entirely made up of villas. If you are a single professional or a couple looking for a studio or a one-bedroom flat, you will have very little to choose from here.
Limited Public Transport
Sharjah has no metro network, and bus stops are mostly along the main roads around the edge of the neighbourhood. Taxis and ride-hailing apps help, but owning a car makes daily life here much easier.
Peak-Hour Traffic
The main roads around the neighbourhood get busy during the morning and evening rush, especially if you commute to Dubai. Leave extra time on school and work runs.
Little Greenery on the Streets
Lastly, most of the trees are inside private gardens rather than along the streets. Outside Al Jazzat Park and the nearby Green Belt Ladies Park, the neighbourhood can feel quite built-up.
