Dubai Hills is one of the innovative new communities offering luxury living in Dubai. The well-planned mixed-use development is sought after by investors, prospective homeowners, and renters. The green spaces and developed infrastructure create a comfortable and tranquil atmosphere that is ideal for family life and relaxation in the bustling city. Before buying property in Dubai Hills, it is advisable to study the advantages of the entire emirate and the main pros and cons of the community.

The advantages of the Dubai real estate market

Dubai is leading the way in terms of supply and pace of construction. According to the Dubai Land Department, the volume of construction in the emirate is growing every year and has not even declined much due to the coronavirus pandemic. Already for the first quarter of 2022 in Dubai completed the construction of 15,441 units. In 2020, 30,019 units were built, and in 2021, 29,180.

The Dubai government also has ambitious plans for the emirate’s development: by 2040, the following is planned:

• the population will double; 
• the area of land occupied by hotels and the tourism sector will increase by 134%;
• the area devoted to commercial activities will increase to 168 km²;
• the area of land for educational and medical institutions will increase by 25%;
• the length of public beaches will increase by 400%;
• reserves and green areas will account for at least 60% of the emirate.

This makes investing in real estate in the emirate profitable, and its territory – a comfortable place to live.

Dubai Hills: from conception to realization

Dubai Hills Estate, or simply Dubai Hills as it is more commonly known, began to be developed in 2014 by two large state-owned companies, Emaar Properties and Meraas Holding. Conceived as part of Mohammed bin Rashid City, the neighborhood was designed from the beginning for expats and offered villas, townhouses, and apartments for family holidays and comfortable permanent residence. The creators clearly tried to relieve the emirate’s new residents of homesickness: the Dubai Hills span 11 million square meters and when fully completed will consist of 4,600 villas and 22,000 apartments, a huge mall of 143,000 square meters, 210,000 square meters of shopping complexes, 197,000 square meters of offices, three luxury hotels, three schools, and a tennis academy.

Drawbacks to watch out for

At the current stage of implementation, the project is still not flawless, and before buying a home here, investors should become better acquainted with the disadvantages. Firstly, the area is not completely finished, and in some places, the work is still in full swing. Of course, the developer has thought of this point: the lines of heavy equipment try to stay away from the already inhabited objects. But it is still worth getting acquainted with the area before buying. According to the original plan, the final project, the Lamborghini Mansion by Emaar, should be finished by November 2024.

It is also impossible not to mention the underdeveloped public transport system. To put it simply, there is practically none: the nearest metro station will take 40-50 minutes by bus from the neighboring Al Barsha district. Of course, in the near future, there will be a connection to the rest of the city, but for now, it is much more convenient for residents of Dubai Hills to use a private car or a taxi.

Variety of properties in Dubai Hills

Dubai Hills has several attractive sub-communities for those looking for exclusive options. Interested buyers can choose from a range of 3-8 bedroom villas with a minimum sale price of AED 2,400,000 (USD 654,000 or RUB 46,835,000). Tenants can choose from a range of properties with 3-7 bedrooms, where the cheapest villa option will cost AED 140,000 (USD 38,000 or RUB 2,735,000) per annum.

For example, Maple is considered the most popular community in the area. The sub-community offers villas and townhouses with configurations ranging from 3 to 5 bedrooms. It may also be attractive to those interested in renting townhouses rather than buying them. A 3-bedroom townhouse for rent costs about AED 130,000 a year. A 4-bedroom townhouse in the area costs around AED 150,000.

Sidra Villas is the second most popular apartment complex already completed. The cluster includes luxury residences at an affordable prices.

Park Heights ranks third in search results, according to Bayut, analytics. The neighborhood offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Park Heights also ranks as one of the best neighborhoods in Dubai Hills for rentals.
