Properties include primarily 1 to 3-bedroom units ranging from AED 90,000 to AED 165,000 annually. A typical 681 sq ft one-bedroom with canal views rents for approximately AED 100,000, while 2-bedroom apartments averaging 1,071 sq ft list for AED 165,000.

Jogging tracks and retail line the canal, creating an active social scene. The location suits young professionals and couples who value walkability and proximity to dining options. Water's Edge residents access the boardwalk for morning runs and evening strolls without leaving the community.

Ansam

Located on the west side of Yas Island, Ansam showcases Andalusian-style architecture with direct views of Yas Links Golf Course. The resort-style atmosphere attracts those seeking a quieter, greener environment compared to the island's busier sections.

Spacious layouts and high-end finishes define the inventory here. Studios start above AED 80,000, with golf-facing units reaching AED 99,999 annually for roughly 490 sq ft. Three-bedroom apartments with 2,492 sq ft command AED 290,000 per year. The community averages 15-20% higher than Water's Edge pricing.

Families and golf enthusiasts appreciate the peaceful surroundings and quality finishes. The architecture creates a Mediterranean vacation feel while maintaining modern Abu Dhabi standards. Ansam suits those willing to pay premium rates for aesthetic appeal and golf course access.

Mayan represents exclusive waterfront living designed to maximize mangrove and sea views. This master-planned community appeals to tenants wanting a beach house atmosphere within an urban setting.

The inventory includes unique configurations like large 4-bedroom apartments with private pools. A massive 6,580 sq ft residence lists for AED 450,000 annually, while standard 2-bedroom units with 1,434 sq ft and partial sea views rent for AED 200,000. Properties here average among the island's highest prices.

The community attracts affluent families and executives seeking privacy combined with waterfront access. The serene environment and exclusive feel set Mayan apart from busier developments. Those prioritizing space, views, and luxury amenities find Mayan matches their expectations.

Yas Golf Collection

This newer development offers furnished apartments with views of the souq and golf course. Contemporary design and smart home technology throughout appeal to tech-savvy tenants and those wanting move-in ready homes.

Primarily featuring studios and 1-bedroom units, prices range from competitive to premium. A fully furnished 806 sq ft one-bedroom typically rents for AED 150,000 annually. The newer construction commands slightly higher rates than Water's Edge but includes modern conveniences.

Young professionals, short-term relocations, and those avoiding furniture shopping favor Yas Golf Collection. The furnished aspect eliminates setup hassles while smart features provide convenience. The location suits tenants wanting brand-new construction without waiting for completion.
