Dubai Hills Estate, a master-planned community being developed between Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street, is attracting strong interest from buyers. Built around an 18-hole golf course and a large central park, it is planned as a green, family-oriented district within easy reach of Downtown.
What the master plan offers
- Golf course: at the centre of the community.
- Parkland: extensive open spaces and trails.
- Homes: villas, townhouses and apartments.
- Amenities: schools, a hospital, retail and a planned mall.
Why buyers are interested
The location between Downtown and the newer communities, combined with green spaces and the developers' reputations, makes Dubai Hills appealing to families and investors.
Considerations for buyers
Buyers should consider the phasing of amenities, completion dates and the location of their plot or unit within the community. Golf-course and park-facing homes command premiums.
Investment potential
As the community matures, demand from families seeking villas and townhouses is likely to be strong. Apartments near retail and transport may also perform well.
Risks
Large communities take years to complete. Early buyers may live with construction nearby for some time.
Choosing between villas and apartments in a new estate
Large master-planned communities like Dubai Hills offer a mix of villas, townhouses and apartments, each with different advantages. Villas near the golf course or park offer space and views but come at a premium and with higher running costs. Townhouses offer family living at lower prices. Apartments near the planned mall and central boulevard offer convenience and may appeal to young professionals and investors seeking yields. Buyers should also consider the order in which phases are delivered: early phases may face more construction nearby, while later phases benefit from established amenities. Matching the product to personal needs and investment goals is more important than following the crowd.
