Dubai Hills Estate is a joint venture between Emaar and Meraas, launched in 2014 as part of the wider Mohammed Bin Rashid City master district. It's built around an 18-hole championship golf course, with 28 sub-communities spanning villas, townhouses, and apartments across a much greener, lower-density layout than most central Dubai communities.

The positioning is upscale-family suburban rather than urban-vertical: think golf-course villas and landscaped parks rather than tower blocks, anchored by Dubai Hills Mall, one of the city's newer regional malls, which is planned to get a dedicated Dubai Metro link.

Getting around

Dubai Hills Estate does not currently have a metro station, though Dubai Hills Mall is planned to get a dedicated Dubai Metro link as part of future network expansion. In the meantime, it's a car-dependent community — Al Khail Road runs along the district, giving reasonably fast access to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and Dubai Marina.

Living in Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate is built around green space in a way most central Dubai communities aren't — the golf course, parks, and lower-rise villa clusters give it a suburban, family-first feel, while Dubai Hills Mall covers day-to-day and larger retail without needing to leave the community. It suits buyers prioritizing space, greenery, and golf-course or park views over walkability to a metro station, and it carries a price premium over communities like JVC or Dubai Sports City for exactly that positioning.
