About Emirates Hills

Emirates Hills is an exclusive residential community in Dubai that offers residents a secluded environment in the city's heart. Situated within Emirates Living, this gated villa enclave is known for its vast green landscapes, picturesque lakes and proximity to world-class golf courses. Emirates Hill was developed as a freehold area and is one of Dubai’s first communities where expatriates could buy land and build bespoke homes. This move led to a diverse mix of architectural styles and property layouts. Today, many high-net-worth individuals, business leaders and diplomats who value privacy call Emirates Hill home.

This area’s strategic location near Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Al Khail Road (E44) facilitates seamless connectivity to key locations such as Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport.

Investors can choose from five-bedroom to nine-bedroom villas, with some spanning over 20,000 square feet. Most homes offer panoramic views of the Montgomerie Golf Course, complete with private swimming pools and fully equipped home gyms. The property market’s architectural styles vary — from Mediterranean and contemporary designs to classical European influences.
