One of Dubai's largest master communities — the Green Heart of Dubai, built by Emaar around an 18-hole championship golf course and vast parks.
Luxury villas, modern apartments, townhouses and off-plan projects.
Dubai Hills Estate is a freehold master community developed by Emaar Properties, and one of the largest districts within Mohammed Bin Rashid City. It spans around 2,700 acres and is widely known as the Green Heart of Dubai, with more than 1.4 million square metres given over to parks, landscaped gardens and tree-lined boulevards.
The masterplan is built around an 18-hole championship golf course and a large central park, and it works as a self-contained district with its own retail, schooling, healthcare and workplaces. Homes range from apartments to golf-course villas and custom plots for private mansions, laid out across a set of named enclaves.
Dubai Hills Estate is located at the centre of Dubai, inside Mohammed Bin Rashid City, with Al Khail Road (E44) running along one side and Umm Suqeim Street along the other. The central position keeps most of the city within about a 20-minute drive, with Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and the Mall of the Emirates each around 15 minutes away.
The community is reached mainly by car and does not have its own metro station. The nearest stops are Equiti and Mall of the Emirates on the Red Line, both around 10 to 15 minutes away. Wide, tree-lined boulevards and dedicated cycle lanes run through the district, and taxis and ride-hailing are widely available.
Dubai Hills Golf Club — an 18-hole, par-72 championship course by European Golf Design, opened in 2018 and named the world’s best new course in 2019, with a 45,000 sq ft clubhouse and golf academy.
Dubai Hills Park — a 180,000 sq m central park with a skate park, splash zones, sports courts, jogging tracks and children’s playgrounds.
Cycling & running network — 54 km of tracks linking every enclave to the park and the golf course.
Community boulevard — cafés, restaurants and everyday retail along tree-lined streets.
Dubai Hills Mall — around 2 million sq ft with roughly 750 shops, a 15-screen Roxy Cinemas and the indoor Storm Coaster.
Schools — GEMS International School and GEMS Wellington Academy Al Khail, plus several nurseries within the community.
King’s College Hospital — a British hospital on site, alongside clinics and pharmacies across the enclaves.
Everyday services — supermarkets, pharmacies and banks within reach in most enclaves.
Dubai Hills Estate is made up of villa, townhouse and apartment communities, each grouped around the golf course, the central park or Dubai Hills Mall.
Dubai Hills Estate is one of Dubai’s established residential markets, with most of its homes built and a steady flow of resale activity. Resale prices per square foot have risen each year, from around AED 1,880 for apartments in 2023 to about AED 2,350 in 2025, while townhouse and villa prices climbed from roughly AED 1,940 to AED 2,800 over the same period.
In the first half of 2026, prices held firm while the number of resale deals eased, as activity shifted toward completed homes and a smaller pool of available villas. Apartments trade at higher rental yields, around 6 to 7 percent, while larger villas draw buyers looking for family homes near the golf course and the park.
