About Dubai Hills Estate
About Dubai Hills Estate
Dubai Hills Estate is Emaar’s “Green Heart of Dubai.” Spans over 11 million square meters. Think rolling fairways, long park belts, and low to mid-rise neighborhoods stitched together by paths and trees. It’s a 2,700-acre master plan with an 18-hole championship course, Dubai Hills Park, and Dubai Hills Mall in the center. Close to the city, yet you get that quiet, green feel once you turn in. I’ve felt that switch happen right after Umm Suqeim Street… the pace drops.
Need to Know
- 18-hole championship golf course and the Dubai Hills Golf Club.
- 1,450,000 sqm of parks and open space. Dubai Hills Park itself is about 180,000 sqm.
- Dubai Hills Mall is big — roughly 282,000 sqm with cinema and Adventure Park.
- Dedicated 54 km bicycle route weaves through the community.
- Three schools listed by Emaar within short drives.
- Mix of apartments, townhouses, villas, plus branded options like Address and Vida.
Community Layout and Amenities
The spine is green. Parks run long, with play zones and shaded paths. Neighborhoods sit in pockets around the golf course, the park, and the mall. Daily life orbits a few anchors:
- Dubai Hills Mall for shopping, groceries, Roxy-style cinema, and kids’ activities.
- Dubai Hills Park for casual sport, picnics, and lazy weekend afternoons.
- Dubai Hills Golf Club for golf and low-key dining.
- Fitness is everywhere — community gyms, padel/tennis courts, and that long bike loop.
It’s planned for movement. Mornings feel active. Strollers. Runners. Kids on scooters that somehow go faster than you expect.
Property Options
You get choice — size, view, and brand.
- Apartments: 1–3 bedrooms are the core, with some 4-beds in newer golf/park-facing buildings. Pools, gyms, and lobby lounges are standard. Address and Vida bring hotel-style finishes.
- Townhouses: Family layouts that are easy to live in. Streets are quiet. Pocket parks nearby.
- Villas: From practical family villas to statement golf-view homes. Larger plots show up in Golf Place and Fairway lanes.
If budget allows, views matter. Park-facing. Golf-facing. Inner streets stay calmer and hold value well.
Safety and Family Friendliness
It feels safe. Speed is controlled near homes. Lighting is good at night. Play areas stay busy around sunset. School runs have the usual queue, but it moves. Most parents I meet say the same thing — you can exhale here. Kids bike to the park. You glance at your watch, not over your shoulder.
Retail and Dining
- Dubai Hills Mall carries the load. Big retail mix. Supermarket. Cinema. Adventure Park by Emaar. Easy parking most weekdays.
- Boulevard cafes and community retail strips fill daily needs.
- Golf Club restaurants are the fallback for a simple dinner with a view.
For niche food hunts, you’ll still drive out to Al Barsha, Jumeirah, or Downtown. Not a pain. Just part of the routine.

- DXB Airport: around 20 minutes.
- Expo/Expo City: roughly 25 minutes.
- Al Maktoum Airport (DWC): about 30 minutes.
Public transport is growing, but most people drive or use ride-hailing today.
Lifestyle
Mornings start early. Runners. Cyclists on the 54 km loop. Parents with coffee doing a park lap before the day kicks in. Evenings drift to the Golf Club or the mall. Weekends feel active, not frantic. I like the rhythm here. It’s predictable in the best way. The city is close. The stress isn’t.
Investment Potential
- Strong end-user demand. Families love the layout and the “all-in-one” amenities.
- Liquidity is healthy in both resale and rental. Smaller apartments near park/mall rent fast.
- Premiums for golf and park views hold up. Inner positions stay resilient.
- New branded launches (Address, Vida, Palace) add a top layer for capital value.
Walk the specific building line or street before committing — road hum on edges can matter. That small detail changes how a home feels at 7 p.m.
