Dubai Hills Estate
Emaar's green, master-planned suburb - golf, parks and a mall, built around family life.
Dubai Hills Estate is the answer to a specific question: where do you live in Dubai if you want space and greenery without moving to the edge of the city? It sits on Al Khail Road roughly between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, built around an 18-hole championship golf course and a large central park.
Where it is
The location is the strongest thing about it. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are minutes away on Al Khail, the Marina is a similar distance in the other direction, and you are not dependent on Sheikh Zayed Road to get anywhere. Few communities offering this much space are this central.
Who it suits
Families, predominantly - and buyers trading up from apartments who want a garden without accepting a long commute. It also holds interest for investors, because the combination of location, schools and the golf course keeps demand steady across market cycles rather than spiking and fading.
What you can buy
Villas and townhouses across a range of sizes make up most of the community, with apartment buildings clustered nearer the park and mall. Golf-facing plots command a premium, as do those backing onto parkland rather than other homes - worth checking on the plot plan before comparing prices between two apparently similar listings.
Living there
Dubai Hills Mall covers major retail and dining. Several international schools operate inside the community, along with a hospital, and the park network and cycling tracks run through the masterplan rather than around it.

Common questions about Dubai Hills Estate
Villa or apartment?
Villas and townhouses are the family draw; apartments from around AED 1.5M give access to the same amenities for less.
Is it finished?
Mostly - the core is complete and occupied, with newer villa phases still handing over.
How is the commute?
Al Khail Road puts Downtown and DIFC within 15-20 minutes off-peak; there is no Metro, so a car is needed.
