What Dubai Hills Estate is

According to Emaar Community Management, Dubai Hills Estate is a 2,700-acre mixed-use development in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, developed by Emaar Properties and Meraas. It combines residential neighbourhoods with retail, parks and an 18-hole championship golf course, and includes Dubai Hills Mall.

Villas or apartments

Villas and townhouses sit in gated neighbourhoods, some on the golf course, and many already trade on the resale market while new phases are released.

Families often compare Dubai Hills with Arabian Ranches and Tilal Al Ghaf; investors compare its rental demand with Business Bay or JVC.
