The settingThe setting
Character
Open space defines the place. Dubai Hills Golf Club runs through the heart of the community, and Emaar counts around 1.45 million square metres of parks and open space, including Dubai Hills Park at 180,000 square metres of lawns, play areas and tracks. Apartment buildings cluster nearer the mall and the main roads, while the villa neighbourhoods are quieter and gated.

Day to day
Everyday life is unusually self contained. Dubai Hills Mall, at around 282,000 square metres, covers shopping, dining and a cinema; King's College Hospital Dubai is within the community; and Emaar lists three schools inside it. A cycle route of around 54 kilometres links the neighbourhoods, and the golf course offers a floodlit practice facility.

Fit
Is Dubai Hills Estate right for you?
A good fit for
- Families who want schools, healthcare and parks close to home
- Golfers and those who want green outlooks
- Buyers who prefer a central location with a suburban feel
- Investors seeking a mature, well serviced community
Worth weighing
- The community is largely car dependent, with no metro station inside it today.
- Later phases are still being built, so construction continues in parts of the estate.
- Villa clusters differ considerably in plot size, age and outlook, which matters when comparing homes.
