Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate, the green heart of the city, has shifted from being Emaar's most established community to Dubai's most premium neighbourhood. Spanning 11 million sqm of land, this stunning address is tucked between Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road.

The community is supported by strong price growth, high occupancy, and excellent infrastructure, making it an attractive choice for both investors and families. Dubai Hills Estate presents breathtaking golf course views, park vistas, premium villas, and a very luxurious lifestyle with amazing connectivity. 

This green heart offers 2,700 acres of nature, where families enjoy the parkland experiences and have the best of both worlds. This self-contained master plan integrates top-notch schools, healthcare, retail, sports, endless green corners, and excellent housing.

Inside the community, there's a jogging area, splash pads, skate parks, dog park, open-air gym, and even an 18-hole championship course. Dubai Hills Estate recorded an 18% capital value increase year-on-year for Q1 2026. For investors and families looking for premium areas that align with their lifestyle and capital goals, Dubai Hills Estate proves to be an excellent address to live in.
