Emirates Hills

Emirates Hills is one of Dubai’s most exclusive gated communities and is also known as “Beverly Hills” of Dubai. Developed by Emaar, it was built around two world-class golf courses and several artificial lakes. The area is known for large private plots, mansions on lakefront land, and tight security. Residents enjoy quiet streets, mature landscaping, and high privacy. Prices are among the highest in the city, and the market often treats land as the main value. Living here means access to a luxury lifestyle close to Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah while still feeling far away from the city’s busy main highways.

The Neighbours

Emirates Hills attracts high-net-worth families, business leaders, and long-term residents who value privacy and large homes. The area is very family-friendly, with private gardens, quiet roads, and proximity to international schools, which make it easy to raise children. Couples without children find privacy, large villas and space for hobbies or entertaining. Social life tends to be low-key rather than loud, and residents often gather at private clubs, golf events, or community functions. You can expect an international mix at Emirates Hills, where discretion and a slow pace are normal. Pets and private staff are common across estates.

What To Expect

Homes in Emirates Hills range from large, custom-built villas to palatial mansions. Plots face the golf course, lakes, or quiet internal roads. Most properties include private pools, large garages, guest suites and manicured gardens. The lifestyle centres on golf, family time, and private leisure. Notable hotels and golf facilities nearby include the Address Montgomerie and Vida Emirates Hills. Daytime leisure includes golf, pool time, walking around the lakes and private club events. Nightlife is limited inside the community, and residents usually go to Dubai Marina or JBR for bars, late dining and club scenes. Residents can expect calm evenings and an active social life outside the gates.

Dining near Emirates Hills mixes high-end hotel restaurants and accessible neighbourhood cafés. Hotel venues at Address Montgomerie and Vida Emirates Hills serve classic and international menus. For broader dining and shopping, Dubai Marina, Mall of the Emirates, and Dubai Marina Mall are quick drives away and offer many international chains, fine dining and supermarket chains. Superstores and hypermarkets such as Carrefour and Spinneys are within a short drive in nearby districts. Everyday shopping is convenient, while luxury shopping and branded retail are available at the larger malls, a short drive from the community.

What Not To Expect

Property prices and service costs in Emirates Hills are very high, which puts ownership out of reach for most buyers. The lack of direct public transport inside the community makes daily travel dependent on cars or taxis. For younger people who prefer active nightlife within walking distance, the area can feel quiet. Some services and shops are outside the gates, so short drives are a regular part of life. Finally, while privacy is a benefit, it also means fewer public green spaces and shared amenities when compared with mixed-use districts.

Architecture

Architecture in Emirates Hills favours custom villa design, large plot layouts and gated compounds. Engineering highlights include lake-edge foundations, private drainage systems and high-standard security infrastructure. Homes feature a mix of Mediterranean, contemporary and neoclassical styles, with tall ceilings and large facades. Notable residential projects, clusters, and buildings within or adjacent to the master plan include Signature Villas, Sector E, and Sector W.

Emirates Hills offers a clear appeal to buyers who want space, privacy and a golf-centred lifestyle close to Dubai’s prime districts. It suits wealthy families and individuals who value land, security and quiet streets over immediate nightlife or public transit convenience. The area keeps its reputation as one of Dubai’s top addresses because of its large plots, lake and golf views, and controlled community environment. For those who can afford it, Emirates Hills remains a solid choice for a private, high-end home.
