Property in Emirates Hills

What is available

Mostly resale villas and occasional plots for custom builds. Very few homes come up for sale at any time, and prices are among the highest in Dubai.

What to check before you buy

Check plot size, orientation and the view (golf, lake or another villa), as they drive value. For older villas, budget for renovation and check which changes need approval.

Service charges and maintenance for large homes and gardens are significant, so ask for running costs before you buy.

Amenities & lifestyle

Retail and dining

Emirates Hills has a small community centre, and the Marina, JLT and the Meadows Village shops are a few minutes away for daily needs and dining.

Outdoor space

The Montgomerie golf course and lakes run through the community, and most villas have large gardens and private pools.
