The short answer
Compare the community, the specific property and the investment objective together. A broad Abu Dhabi story is not a substitute for evidence about the unit you are considering.
Build a community shortlist
Saadiyat, Yas, Reem, Hudayriyat and Masdar are areas to investigate against your own requirements. Before ranking them, define your budget, likely holding period, need for rental income and whether you intend to live in the property.
Use the same measuring stick
ADREC provides market data with property and community fields. Compare similar property types over the same period, and document the sample behind any price-per-area figure. Do not mix plots, villas and apartments into a single investment conclusion.
Separate delivery from the promise
For a new development, distinguish what exists today from what is planned. Ask how construction, future infrastructure and the payment timetable affect the years before occupation or rental income can begin.
