Browsing 2 Bedroom Apartments for sale Arjan listings, you'll notice a specific layout coming up again and again: "2BR + Study" or "2BR + Store." This extra room has become a genuine selling point across several of Arjan's newer developments, and it's worth understanding exactly what it adds, what it costs, and how the two terms actually differ before you factor it into your decision.
Takween Aldar is a RERA-registered real estate agency in Dubai with 12+ years of market experience, and our brokers regularly help buyers compare standard 2-bedroom layouts against these study and store room variants across Arjan's current inventory.
Why a Study or Store Room Matters for 2 Bedroom Buyers
For end users, an extra room, even a small one, solves a genuinely common problem: where to put a home office, a child's study corner, or overflow storage without sacrificing a bedroom. This has become more relevant since remote and hybrid work became standard for many Dubai professionals, and a dedicated study space is now a meaningful differentiator rather than a nice-to-have.
For investors, "2BR + study" layouts have also shown resale and rental appeal beyond what a standard 2-bedroom unit offers, since the extra room broadens the pool of interested tenants and buyers, from small families needing a home office to professionals wanting extra storage without renting a larger unit.
Difference Between a Study Room and a Store Room
These two terms get used inconsistently across listings, so it's worth being precise. A study room is generally a small but usable enclosed space, often with a window or at least a door, big enough for a desk and chair, sometimes marketed as suitable for a home office or even a child's bedroom in a pinch. A store room is typically a smaller, often windowless space intended purely for storage, luggage, seasonal items, or household equipment, and isn't generally suitable as a livable room.
Both add genuine value over a standard 2-bedroom layout, but they serve different purposes, and it's worth confirming which one a specific listing actually offers rather than assuming from the description alone, since "study" and "store" are sometimes used loosely or interchangeably by agents.
Which Arjan Buildings Currently Offer 2BR + Study/Store Layouts
Marquis Elegance has consistently offered both variants, with listings for 2-bedroom-plus-study units around 1,257 to 1,324 sq ft, as well as 2-bedroom-plus-store configurations closer to 1,289 sq ft. 48 Parkside also has multiple current 2BR-plus-study listings, generally around 1,215 to 1,244 sq ft, including units with park and community views.
Floarea Grande offers a 2BR-plus-study layout with smart home features at around 1,311 sq ft, while Adhara Star has listed a similar configuration at 1,153 sq ft. Avelon Boulevard and The Central Downtown have also featured 2-bedroom-plus-study units with brand new, vacant stock in the 1,297 to 1,324 sq ft range. Availability across these buildings shifts frequently, so it's worth checking current stock in your target size and budget directly rather than assuming a specific unit is still available.
Current Prices for 2 BHK Units with Study/Store Rooms in Arjan
Standard 2-bedroom apartments in Arjan currently average around AED 1.68 million to AED 1.84 million based on recent DLD transaction data, with sizes typically in the 1,000 to 1,200 sq ft range. Units with an added study or store room generally command a premium over this baseline, reflecting both the extra floor area and the added functionality.
Current listings for 2BR-plus-study units range broadly from around AED 1,690,000 to AED 2,150,000, with sizes between roughly 1,153 and 1,324 sq ft. A 2BR-plus-store unit in Marquis Elegance at 1,289 sq ft has listed at AED 1,899,999, while a 2BR-plus-store unit in the same building at a similar size range has listed near AED 1,999,999. These figures put the study or store room premium at roughly AED 100,000 to AED 300,000 over a comparable standard 2-bedroom unit, though this varies by building, floor, and view.
Is the Extra Room Worth the Price Premium?
For end users planning to use the space as a genuine home office or child's study area, the premium is often worth it, particularly compared to the alternative of buying a full 3-bedroom unit, which typically costs significantly more than a 2-bedroom-plus-study equivalent while offering only marginally more functional space for most households.
For investors, the calculation depends on your target tenant. If you're targeting small families or remote-working professionals, the extra room can support a meaningfully higher rent than a standard 2-bedroom unit, helping offset the purchase premium. If your target tenant is more price-sensitive and less likely to need the extra space, a standard 2-bedroom unit at a lower entry price may deliver a more efficient yield. It's worth discussing your specific target tenant profile with a broker before assuming the study or store room automatically pays for itself in rental terms.
What to Check Before Buying a 2BR + Study/Store Unit
A few things are worth verifying carefully. Confirm how the extra room is officially registered in the unit's floor plan and title documents, since a room described as a "study" in marketing materials should ideally be reflected accurately in the official layout, particularly if you're relying on it for a home office or considering future conversion. Visit the unit in person or review the floor plan closely to assess whether the room has a window and natural light, since this significantly affects its usability and appeal to future tenants or buyers, and store rooms in particular are sometimes windowless by design.
It's also worth being realistic about size. Some "study rooms" are genuinely small, more suited to a desk and shelving than a true workspace, so checking the exact dimensions rather than relying on the label alone will help you assess whether it meets your actual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a study room and a store room in a 2 BHK? A study room is generally a small but usable enclosed space suited to a desk or light home office use, often with a window. A store room is typically smaller and intended purely for storage, often without natural light. It's worth confirming which one a specific listing actually offers, since the terms are sometimes used inconsistently.
Does a study room add resale value to a 2 bedroom apartment in Arjan? Generally, yes. 2BR-plus-study units in Arjan have shown strong buyer and tenant interest, particularly given rising demand for home office space, and typically command a premium of roughly AED 100,000 to AED 300,000 over a comparable standard 2-bedroom unit.
What's the price difference for a 2 BHK with a study room in Arjan? Standard 2-bedroom units in Arjan currently average around AED 1.68 million to AED 1.84 million, while comparable 2BR-plus-study or 2BR-plus-store units typically list from around AED 1.69 million to AED 2.15 million, depending on the building, size, and view.
Can a study room be converted into a third bedroom? It depends on the specific room's size, whether it has a window, and the building's regulations around layout changes. Some study rooms are genuinely large enough to function as a small bedroom, while others are too compact. It's worth checking the exact dimensions and any building restrictions before assuming a conversion is possible or permitted.
Are 2BR-plus-study units in Arjan good for investors? They can be, particularly if you're targeting small families or remote-working professional tenants who value the extra space.
