Area overview

About Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate is a master-planned community created by a joint venture between Emaar Properties and Meraas, and forms the first phase of Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Emaar describes it as a 2,700-acre multi-purpose development.

The community sits between Al Khail Road (E44) and Umm Suqeim Road (D63), giving road access towards Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Al Barsha. Its plan places villas and townhouses around the 18-hole championship golf course and green corridors, with apartment districts clustered near Dubai Hills Mall, the business park and Dubai Hills Park.

The estate mixes established neighbourhoods with ongoing launches, so buyers can choose between completed resale homes and off-plan phases. Daily needs are largely met within the community, including a large mall, a hospital, schools and an extensive network of parks and cycle routes.

Investment & rental demand

Investing in Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate combines a central location with a fully serviced community, which has made it one of the most closely watched family communities in Dubai. Bayut's H1 2026 report names it the most popular area for luxury villa purchases on its platform and also lists it among the leading luxury apartment areas. The mix of completed neighbourhoods and new Emaar launches means buyers can compare ready resale homes against off-plan phases with staged payments. Location within the estate matters: golf-course and park frontage, distance to the mall and schools, and the age of each phase all influence value.

Families are the core tenant group, drawn by the schools, hospital, parks and the villa and townhouse stock. Apartments near the mall, the park and the business park attract professionals and couples who want a central base with access to Downtown Dubai, Al Barsha and Sheikh Zayed Road. Demand is mainly long-term rather than holiday-home.
