Yas Living by Aldar: The "Sub-1M" Asset You Can Actually Afford
While everyone else is fighting over AED 3M villas, the smart money is scooping up high-yield entry-level assets. Yas Living by Aldar is the answer to the affordability crisis on Yas Island. It is not a hyper-luxury trophy asset; it is a Cash Flow Machine. Located on the northeast side of Yas Island, this project offers Canal-Front Living at a price point that shouldn't exist in 2026.
This is for the investor who wants Yield, not ego.
