All vikisWadeem Gardens vs Al Naseem Community
On Modon's own figures a 5-bedroom villa at Al Naseem Community is bigger, AED 1.2M cheaper and due more than three years sooner than one at Wadeem Gardens, while Wadeem Gardens asks AED 1,050,000 less before handover and comes with bank finance. We think Al Naseem is the better house and Wadeem Gardens the easier purchase.
We think Al Naseem Community is the better buy for anyone who can fund 40% during construction, and Wadeem Gardens the right choice only for a buyer who needs the lower deposit or the bank. Both are Modon communities of 4 to 6 bedroom standalone villas on Hudayriyat Island, both are freehold for all nationalities, and every figure below is from Modon's pages for Wadeem Gardens and Al Naseem Community as read on Nov 12, 2026.
Side by side
| Wadeem Gardens | Al Naseem Community | |
|---|---|---|
| 4-bedroom from | AED 8.7M | AED 7.8M |
| 5-bedroom from | AED 10.2M | AED 9M |
| 6-bedroom from | AED 11.6M | AED 10M |
| 5-bedroom size | 630 sq m "Size" | 587 sq m internal and 195 sq m external built-up area |
| Payment plan | 25/75 | 40/60 |
| Handover | Q2 2031 | Q4 2027, first phase |
| Exterior styles | Modern, Arabian | South Californian, Modern Contemporary |
| Developer's bank finance | Up to 75% through ADIB | Not mentioned on its page |
| Where on the island | Eastern tip | Central cluster, by Modon's map |
Wadeem Gardens is dearer for every size: by AED 900,000 for 4 bedrooms, AED 1,200,000 for 5 and AED 1,600,000 for 6, which is 12%, 13% and 16% more. The gap widens as the villa grows.
More house for less at Al Naseem
The 5-bedroom villa is the only type for which Modon gives both communities a size. Al Naseem's is 587 sq m inside plus 195 sq m of external built-up area, 782 sq m together. Wadeem Gardens' is 630 sq m of "Size", which Modon does not define (Prices and Villa Types).
By our division, Al Naseem's 5-bedroom villa starts at about AED 11,509 per sq m of total built-up area, or about AED 15,332 per sq m counting the interior alone. Wadeem Gardens' starts at about AED 16,190 per sq m of its stated size. On either reading Al Naseem is cheaper per square meter, and if Wadeem Gardens' figure turns out to be a plot size the gap is wider still.
Less cash up front at Wadeem Gardens
The payment plans reverse the result. Our arithmetic on the starting prices:
| Due before handover | Wadeem Gardens (25%) | Al Naseem (40%) | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-bedroom | AED 2,175,000 | AED 3,120,000 | AED 945,000 less |
| 5-bedroom | AED 2,550,000 | AED 3,600,000 | AED 1,050,000 less |
| 6-bedroom | AED 2,900,000 | AED 4,000,000 | AED 1,100,000 less |
Al Naseem's 40% also falls due faster, because its handover is about a year away, not four and a half. And only Wadeem Gardens was launched with ADIB's off-plan finance; the bank agreement of July 2026 covers "future Modon developments", and Al Naseem's page does not mention it (ADIB Off-Plan Finance).
Three and a half years apart
Al Naseem's first phase is due in Q4 2027 and Wadeem Gardens in Q2 2031. A buyer choosing Wadeem Gardens waits about 42 months longer for the keys. Over that time an Al Naseem owner can live in the house or let it.
Location cuts both ways. Al Naseem's page puts it a short drive from Surf Abu Dhabi, 321 Sports and Marsana, all open today. Wadeem Gardens is at the far end of the island beside a tunnel that is drawn but not dated (Location and Drive Times), with a spine, an arena and schools that are planned but not dated either (Masterplan and Amenities).
What Al Naseem cannot offer
Availability is the catch. Al Naseem is the earlier release, and Modon's page does not say what remains; a starting price on a page is not a villa you can still buy. Wadeem Gardens is a release that opened on Sep 30, 2026 with no sell-out announced, so choice of position and type is likely to be wider there.
And against a Dubai launch of the same season
Nakheel's Palm Springs in Jebel Ali, launched on Nov 9, 2026, lists a 4-bedroom villa of 4,041 sq ft from AED 7.0M and a 5-bedroom of 4,921 sq ft from AED 8.9M on a 60/40 plan, due October 2030 (our Palm Springs price page, from Nakheel's factsheet). Those sizes are sellable areas, about AED 1,732 and AED 1,809 per sq ft. Wadeem Gardens' about AED 1,500 per sq ft of stated size looks cheaper, but only if its size is built-up area. This is the comparison that most needs Modon's missing number.
Our verdict
We think the order is clear on the published figures: Al Naseem for value, if a villa is still available and 40% is affordable; Wadeem Gardens for buyers who need 25% and a bank. We do not think Wadeem Gardens is overpriced for what it is, a newer district with a larger plan around it. We think it is priced for its financing, and buyers who do not need the financing are paying for something they will not use. None of this is investment advice.

Launch and How to RegisterModon launched phase one of Wadeem Gardens on Sep 30, 2026 and was still taking registrations on Nov 12, 2026, through its website, 800 MODON and its sales center on Hudayriyat Island. No sell-out, villa count, brochure or floor plan has been published.
- Payment PlanModon lists Wadeem Gardens on a 25/75 payment plan with handover in Q2 2031 and has not published the installment dates. In dirhams, 25% of a 4-bedroom villa is AED 2,175,000 and the remaining 75% is AED 6,525,000.

Hudayriyat Island CommunitiesModon lists seven communities on Hudayriyat Island, from AED 2M apartments at Nawayef Park Views to AED 35.8M golf mansions. Wadeem Gardens has the lowest share due before handover and the latest handover, and is the only recent launch with no sell-out announced.
- Wadeem PlotsBefore Wadeem Gardens there was Wadeem, more than 1,700 villa plots that Modon launched on Jul 1, 2025 and sold out in 72 hours for AED 5.5 billion, an average of about AED 3.2M a plot by Vi.ki's working. Wadeem Gardens is the built-villa release in the same district.
- ModonModon Holding PSC, the developer of Wadeem Gardens, is 84.76% owned by the Abu Dhabi government's L'imad Holding and is master developer of Hudayriyat Island. It reported AED 26 billion of property sales in the first half of 2026, but no community on its island page has yet reached its handover date.
-
PredictionsWe think Modon releases a second phase of Wadeem Gardens with smaller homes by the end of 2027, and that the tunnel its drive times depend on is not open when the first villas are handed over. Vi.ki's own predictions, each with a date it can be checked by.
