Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate has become the benchmark for family living in New Dubai. Emaar’s masterplan is well-executed - the 18-hole championship golf course, Dubai Hills Central Park, and the cycling and running tracks give it a quality of life that few Dubai communities can match.

The community spans over 11 million square metres and houses a diverse mix of apartments, townhouses, and villas. Dubai Hills Mall, which opened in 2022, brought a major retail anchor to the community and has significantly improved the self-contained lifestyle offering.

For families, the schools situation is exceptional by Dubai standards. Nord Anglia International School and GEMS schools are within or adjacent to the community. The King’s College Hospital London at Dubai Hills opened in 2019 - another significant tick for families who want quality healthcare close to home.

The investment thesis is straightforward: Emaar-built, family-oriented communities in New Dubai have consistently outperformed in rental yields and capital values. Dubai Hills follows the playbook of Arabian Ranches, which has been one of the most resilient communities in Dubai through multiple market cycles.

Apartment buyers find some of the best new-build value in Dubai at AED 1,400-2,000/sqft. Villa buyers - particularly in the sought-after Golf Place, Sidra, and Maple sub-communities - have seen substantial appreciation since launch.

The Metro extension to Al Khail is anticipated to transform transport connectivity when complete. For now, most residents are car-dependent, though Al Khail Road makes Downtown and DIFC accessible in 20-25 minutes at most times of day.

Dubai Hills Mall covers everyday shopping with Carrefour and Spinneys.
