Apartments for Sale in New Cairo: Prices, Developers & Payment Plans (2026)
Description
New Cairo is Egypt’s deepest apartment market by inventory — R1’s Market DB tracks 38 compounds there, 30 of them with live developer pricing, more than any other area we cover. If you’re looking for an apartment for sale in New Cairo, that depth is the good news and the hard part: prices across those compounds span roughly EGP 4.5 million to well over EGP 130 million, and the difference usually comes down to developer, delivery date and how far along construction is, not just location. This guide breaks down what apartments actually cost in New Cairo right now, both new-build and resale, using only priced units from R1’s live database — no estimates, no invented figures.
Entry-level apartment prices in New Cairo (new build)
Of the 38 New Cairo compounds R1 tracks, 14 currently list at least one priced apartment unit type (the rest are villa/townhouse-only, sold out, or awaiting a price update). Across those 14, apartment entry prices range from EGP 4.5 million to EGP 134.1 million, with an average around EGP 14.4 million. The cheapest entry points as of R1’s most recent pricing pass (2 July–19 August 2026):
- The Square (Sabbour) — from EGP 4,500,000 (sold out at time of writing, useful as a market floor reference)
- Palm Hills Katameya (PK1), Palm Hills Developments — from EGP 5,000,000
- Creekview, Mountain View (DMG) — from EGP 5,400,000, launching, delivery 2029, 5% down over 10 years
- Hyde Park New Cairo, Hyde Park Developments — from EGP 6,500,000 (63 sqm, 1BR), delivery 2029, 5% down over 10 years
- Village Gardens Katameya, Palm Hills Developments — from EGP 6,875,000, delivered, 10% down over 8 years
- Taj City, MMHD (Madinet Masr) — from EGP 7,378,953 (98 sqm), 0% down payment, 12-year plan — the longest and lowest-entry payment structure in this list
- Palm Hills New Cairo, Palm Hills Developments — from EGP 9,857,000 (70 sqm), delivery 2028–2030, 10% down over 8 years
For buyers working with a ceiling near EGP 5–7 million, Creekview, Hyde Park New Cairo and Village Gardens Katameya are the realistic new-build options on file today. Above EGP 10 million, the field opens up considerably — SODIC’s V Residences (from EGP 7,325,000), District 5 by Marakez (from EGP 9,500,000) and El Patio Oro by La Vista (apartments from EGP 14,580,000) all add inventory in the EGP 10–20 million band.
Price per square metre
Among New Cairo apartment listings where R1 has both a price and a built-up area on file, the average works out to roughly EGP 97,100 per square metre. This figure should be read as directional rather than a strict benchmark — it blends brand-new launches (which price higher per metre for longer payment terms) with older, delivered stock, and the sample is limited to units where developers disclosed unit size alongside price. Larger units in mature compounds like Taj City and El Patio Oro tend to land below that average; smaller, newer launches like Creekview and Hyde Park New Cairo tend to sit above it because of their longer, lower-down-payment plans.
Typical payment plans
Across priced New Cairo compounds, down payments on file range from 0% (Taj City) to 10% (Palm Hills Katameya, Village Gardens Katameya, Palm Hills New Cairo, Eastshire), with installment terms most commonly running 7 to 10 years. A few outliers stretch further: Taj City’s 12-year plan and Mountain View iCity New Cairo’s 10-year, 5%-down structure are among the longest on record for the area. As a rule on this data set, the newest launches (Creekview, Hyde Park New Cairo, Mountain View iCity) offer the lowest down payments (5%) paired with the longest terms, while delivered or near-delivery stock (Village Gardens Katameya, Palm Hills New Cairo) asks for 10% up front over a shorter 8-year run.
Resale apartments in New Cairo
For buyers who don’t want to wait out a 2027–2030 delivery date, R1’s resale inventory currently carries 75 apartment listings across 9 New Cairo compounds, 73 of them with an asking price on file. Excluding a handful of placeholder/zero entries, resale apartment prices in New Cairo run from about EGP 860,860 at the low end up to EGP 130.1 million at the top, with the middle 80% of the market (10th to 90th percentile) sitting between roughly EGP 6.2 million and EGP 16.3 million, and a median asking price of about EGP 8.25 million. That median sits close to several new-build entry prices above it, which is the real trade-off in New Cairo right now: resale gets you a ready or near-ready unit at a comparable headline price, but usually without the multi-year, low-down-payment structure that new launches offer.
New build vs resale: how to decide
The short version: if a low down payment and a long installment plan matter more than moving in soon, a new launch like Creekview or Hyde Park New Cairo is the better fit. If you want a unit that’s already built (or close to it) and can pay closer to full price sooner, R1’s resale board is worth checking first, since several listings sit at or below new-build entry prices for comparable compounds. Either way, compare specific compounds side by side rather than relying on area averages — R1’s compound comparison tool lets you set two or more New Cairo projects against each other on price, price per metre, payment plan and delivery date before you commit to a viewing.
