19 New Off-Plan Projects in Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate is Emaar's flagship family-focused master plan, a 11 km² community built around an 18-hole championship golf course (Dubai Hills Golf Club). It opened in stages from 2018 and has become **the most successful upscale family community in Dubai** — a balance of green space, walkability, schools and proximity to Downtown that few other communities match. The community is structured into named sub-districts: Park Hills, Sidra, Maple, Park Heights, Acacia and Park Ridge, each with its own architectural style and target buyer. Apartments cluster around Dubai Hills Mall (one of the city's largest, opened 2022) and Dubai Hills Park. Villas and townhouses sprawl along the golf course and inland streets. Dubai Hills also features its own schools (GEMS, Kings'), clinics (Mediclinic), and the largest community park in Dubai (Dubai Hills Park). For families, the appeal is unmatched: walkable schools, green parks, low-rise calm, and yet only 15 minutes to Downtown via the new Al Khail Road extensions. For investors, yields are 5–6.5% (lower than central apartments) but capital appreciation has been consistent (8–15% annual since 2020), and **villas and townhouses here are among the most liquid in the resale market** — strong end-user demand keeps inventory moving.
