La Mirada New Cairo: ready apartments and duplexes next to the American University

La Mirada New Cairo is a compound by Grand Plaza For Real Estate and Touristic Development in the Fifth Settlement next to the American University, on 91,658 m², about 22 feddans, and listed as finished in our catalogue. According to the project's details, about 70,000 m² of it is landscaping and water features, so most of the land is green and water. The units recorded with us are two and three-bedroom apartments of 105 to 254 m², three-bedroom duplexes of 234 to 341 m² and a 32 m² clinic, all past their handover dates. The developer has no priced units on offer now, so buying here means resale from an owner, and the resale prices are in the price table on this page.

This page covers where La Mirada is, what it offers, how to compare it with new projects, and how to buy safely. Some people search for it as "lamirda".

Not the same as La Mirada in Mostakbal City

The same developer has another project called La Mirada in Mostakbal City, about 16 km away. That is a different project in a different place, still selling from the developer. This page is about La Mirada in the Fifth Settlement next to the American University, which is finished. If someone offers you a unit in "La Mirada", ask first which one.

Apartments for sale in La Mirada New Cairo

A finished two-bedroom from 105 m² suits a young couple or small family, and the larger ones near 200 m² might take a third room if the layout allows. A three-bedroom suits a large family, though some are semi-finished, so ask. A duplex spreads over two floors, sleeping upstairs and living downstairs, and gives a family the feel of a house without villa costs.

The clinic in La Mirada

There is a finished 32 m² clinic, past handover. A clinic inside a residential compound next to the American University serves residents, students and staff. Before buying, ask whether the surrounding clinics are open and whether your medical activity is permitted in that unit.

La Mirada prices and payment plans

What are the payment plans in La Mirada? The developer has no priced units on offer in La Mirada New Cairo, so no developer price or payment plan is recorded with us. The prices owners are asking are in the resale price table on this page, updated monthly.

For comparison, the cheapest apartment's price per metre in new projects nearby: Riverton about 79,500, handover 2029; Azad Views about 123,100; AZAD about 131,100. Duplexes in Azad Views are about 114,700, and clinics in Eastshire about 171,400, handover 2027. Divide the owner's price by the area and compare, remembering that La Mirada's units are ready and mostly finished.

Ready or new? Count the rent

A ready apartment in La Mirada can be lived in this month, while a new one nearby means years of waiting, then finishing. If you rent now, multiply your rent by the months of waiting and finishing, and add the cost of the finishing itself: that sum is really part of the new unit's price, so set it against the price difference.

Living in a finished compound next to the university

A finished compound has no construction noise, neighbours who actually live there and services that already work. The American University next door brings students and staff during term, which lifts rental demand but can crowd the gates at peak times, so visit in the morning and late afternoon and see for yourself.

Renting out near the American University

If you are buying to rent out, a ready, finished apartment earns from the first month. Being next to the American University brings tenants such as faculty, staff and families whose children study there. Ask brokers in the Fifth Settlement about real rents for the same size and finishing, and subtract the service charge, before working out the return.

Duplex or apartment?

A duplex gives more space and more privacy between sleeping and living, but costs more in total and more to cool and maintain. A large single-floor apartment is easier for older people and small children. Choose for your family, not only for the area.

Before buying: ask the residents

No complaints are recorded with us, so ask yourself. Visit on an ordinary day, talk to residents and security, and ask about maintenance and its charges and how fast they rise, the lifts, and whether the mall and clubhouse are open.

La Mirada photos

The compound photos and master plan are at the top of this page. Photos are not enough, though: visit the apartment, the view, the distance to the mall and clubhouse, the state of the building and lift, and the finishing inside.

Negotiating with the owner

Resale has no price list. Check the resale table on this page and ask how long the owner has been selling. The floor and a view over water or greenery change the price. Judge the finishing yourself and take any repairs off the price.

Buying resale safely

• Contract: see the original contract with Grand Plaza and the owner's proof of ownership, and confirm it is for La Mirada New Cairo, not Mostakbal City.
• Transfer: ask about the transfer fee before agreeing a price.
• Maintenance: confirm fees are paid up to date.
• Inspection: check finishing, plumbing and electrics.
