What is it? Dubai Hills is an elite district of Dubai, located near southern Al Barsha. It consists of residential complexes, including villas, townhouses, apartments and land plots. It is considered the most popular among Russian-speaking expatriates in the UAE.
What are the advantages? Dubai Hills is focused on family living and offers various amenities. The district has excellent schools, kindergartens, fitness centres, spa salons and medical facilities.
Dubai Hills is the first development stage of Mohammed bin Rashid City project, located in close proximity to Al Barsha South with convenient access to Al Khail Road. Thanks to its location and joint implementation of the project by two leading UAE developers — Emaar Properties and Meraas Holding — according to reviews, it is becoming an increasingly popular place for living and investment.
The location of this district is one of its main advantages. It is in close proximity to other popular Emaar developer’s projects such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Emirates Hills. Neighbouring districts are Al Barsha to the west and Al Quoz to the east. It is also convenient to reach Meydan City and Arabian Ranches.
The district's territory is divided into three zones: the central zone, with exclusive mansions, the northern zone, with high-rise residential buildings and developed infrastructure, and the southern zone, which is designated for the construction of elite villas and townhouses. Such diversity makes Dubai Hills Estate attractive for families wishing to live in comfort, for those who value active leisure, as well as for investors.
Dubai Hills Estate is famous for its picturesque parks and gardens, a 54-kilometre cycling route and a magnificent golf course with panoramic views of Burj Khalifa. Additionally, a tennis academy with outdoor and indoor courts is under construction.
Convenient location and developed transport infrastructure make Dubai Hills Estate an attractive district for living. The complex is in close proximity to the city's main highways. Two metro stations are planned to open in the near future, which will significantly improve transport accessibility. Today, there is already a bus stop near the complex, and the developers plan to launch their own bus service.
From the centre of the district, you can quickly reach popular places such as Dubai Studio City, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Investment Park, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina. The journey will take only 15–20 minutes. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is 20 minutes away, and Al Maktoum International Airport can be reached in 40 minutes.
Young families with children increasingly choose Dubai Hills Estate district due to the presence of extensive green zones, kindergartens and schools here. Another advantage is its proximity to the city centre, which makes it highly competitive in Dubai's real estate market.
Buildings in Dubai Hills Estate vary from small residential complexes to large-scale commercial properties. The district's territory is enormous and comparable to 200 football fields.
Dubai Hills Golf Club and its surrounding luxury villas add special appeal to the location. All this makes this site one of the most sought-after for real estate investments.
Dubai Hills Estate offers a wide selection of properties: from cosy one or two-bedroom apartments, ideal for rental, to premium luxury villas for family living.
Since the territory is still under development, you have a unique opportunity to purchase property in Dubai at an early construction stage and invest in a promising project under the most favourable conditions.
