Dubai Hills Estate is a master-planned community in the heart of Dubai, offering a mix of luxury villas, modern apartments, and off-plan properties. Surrounded by lush green parks, world-class amenities, and a central location, this community provides an exceptional living experience with strong investment potential.
Dubai Hills Estate is a freehold flagship master development by Emaar Properties, forming part of Mohammed bin Rashid City (MBR City). Stretching across more than 11 million sq m, the community blends luxury living with green landscapes, modern infrastructure, and a wide range of residential options — from elegant apartments to expansive golf-course villas.
The area is connected to the rest of Dubai through Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street, offering quick access to Downtown, Dubai Marina, and the city’s main business and leisure hubs. Known as a “city within a city,” Dubai Hills Estate integrates housing, retail, education, and leisure in one cohesive master plan.
The neighbourhood is now fully established as one of Dubai’s premier residential addresses, anchored by Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Hills Golf Club, and a range of sub-communities such as Maple, Sidra, Park Heights, and Golf Place.

Dubai Hills Mall is one of Dubai’s premier shopping and leisure destinations, spanning over 2 million sq ft. Developed by Emaar, it features 750+ retail and dining outlets, a hypermarket, VOX Cinemas, and one of the region’s longest indoor roller coasters, The Storm Coaster.
The mall anchors the entire community, offering everything from luxury fashion to casual cafés and family entertainment. The mall’s outdoor promenade connects directly to Dubai Hills Park, creating a seamless lifestyle experience.
The Dubai Hills Golf Club, managed by Troons Golf, is a signature 18-hole championship course set against views of Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai. Designed to USGA standards, the 1.2-million-sq-m course offers pristine fairways, natural landscaping, and strategically positioned lakes.
The clubhouse includes a pro shop, fine-dining restaurants, fitness facilities, and an academy for beginners and juniors. Surrounding the course are some of the city’s most exclusive villa communities, such as Golf Place, Majestic Vistas, and Address Villas Hillcrest, providing direct golf-front living. Regular tournaments and social events make it a focal point for the area’s community life.
Dubai Hills Estate is often described as the “green heart of Dubai.” More than 1.4 million sq m of open spaces are dedicated to parks, landscaped gardens, and tree-lined boulevards.
At its centre lies Dubai Hills Park, a 180,000-sq-m urban oasis featuring jogging tracks, basketball courts, a skate park, splash zones, and playgrounds. Residents also enjoy 54 km of cycling and running tracks linking each sub-community.
This emphasis on open space and outdoor wellness aligns with Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan, which promotes sustainable, low-density residential zones.

Central Location & Long-Term Value
Dubai Hills Estate occupies a prime position in the heart of Dubai, bordered by Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street. Its strategic placement offers residents and investors proximity to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and Dubai Marina — all within 15 minutes.
Price Growth
Over the last three years, Dubai Hills Estate has experienced steady capital growth supported by limited supply and continued infrastructure delivery.
According to 2024–2025 market reports, villa prices rose by approximately 68% since 2022, while apartment prices increased by around 52%. In 2024, the community recorded AED 22.3 billion in transactions, placing it among Dubai’s top five most active residential districts.
Golf-course and park-facing properties show the strongest appreciation, driven by demand from both international and GCC buyers seeking low-density environments within central Dubai.
Strong Rental Demand
Apartments near Dubai Hills Mall, Park Heights, and Collective maintain high occupancy levels throughout the year, supported by demand from long-term tenants.
Average apartment rents have increased by over 50% since 2022, and yields typically range between 5% and 6%. This rental stability provides investors with consistent income and minimal vacancy risk.
Off-Plan Advantages
Developers such as Emaar and H&H Development offer 80/20 and 90/10 payment plans, often paired with DLD fee waivers, service charge exemptions, or early handover options.
Off-plan units in prime clusters like Rosehill, Address Residences, and Hillside Park deliver projected yields between 6% and 8%, outperforming comparable inner-city developments.
Given Dubai Hills Estate’s proven capital appreciation history, early investment in new launches remains one of the most reliable strategies for sustained growth.
Golden Visa Eligibility
Properties priced at AED 2 million or more qualify owners for a 10-year renewable residency visa, extending benefits to spouses and dependents.
This residency pathway has enhanced demand from European, Asian, and Middle Eastern investors who view the area as a secure, lifestyle-driven investment with tangible long-term residency benefits.
Transport and Connectivity
Dubai Hills Estate sits at the crossroads of Al Khail Road (E44) and Umm Suqeim Street, offering fast links to Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Dubai International Airport.
