About The Hills Emirates Living Dubai

The Hills is not in Dubai Hills Estate. It stands in Emirates Living, immediately beside Emirates Golf Club, off Sheikh Zayed Road near Dubai Marina. Dubai Hills Estate is a different, much newer Emaar community several kilometres inland. Some listings file this development under "Dubai Hills", which is how buyers end up researching the wrong place, so it is worth settling first.

What it actually is: an Emaar development of four towers, two residential and two hotel, built between 2013 and 2019, with one to four bedroom apartments averaging about 878 sq ft. Sale prices run about AED 2.2 million (about Rs 5.67 crore) to AED 7.5 million, at roughly AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft. The source listing carries no price. The genuine Dubai Hills Estate buildings we track are Parkside Views, Lime Gardens and Sidra. Everything is in our Dubai section and the projects list.

Rate rangeAbout AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft

A rate range of AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft is nearly twofold inside one development, and the cause is not mysterious: the towers sit on a golf course and a fairway-facing apartment on a high floor is a different asset from an inward one three levels up. The building average is therefore useless as a price. What works is comparing a unit against others on similar floors with the same aspect.

For orientation, Dubai Hills Estate — the community this one gets confused with — trades around AED 2,380 per sq ft on Q1 2026 figures, squarely inside this range. So the confusion is not just geographic; the two communities overlap on price while differing entirely on age, connectivity and tenant. Emirates Living is older, closer to the Marina and to Sheikh Zayed Road, and finished; Dubai Hills Estate is newer, inland and still filling in.

Payment plan and total cost

No developer plan applies to a building completed between 2013 and 2019. A purchase is a resale settled at transfer, in cash or with a mortgage of up to 80% of value for a UAE resident and typically 50 to 75% for a non-resident.

Item (at the AED 2.2 M range floor)AED
Price2,200,000
DLD transfer fee, 4%88,000
Trustee and title-deed feesAbout 4,200
Agency commission, 2%44,000
All in on day oneAbout 2,336,200

On running costs, Emirates Living is an established district rather than a new prime one, and its apartment charges sit below the Downtown and branded-tower bands. No building-specific figure is published; Dubai apartment service charges run AED 10 to 30 per sq ft a year across the market, so on an 878 sq ft average unit that is roughly AED 8,800 to 26,300.

The question behind the charge, on buildings of this age, is the reserve fund. The 2013 tower has already been through a renewal cycle for lifts, pumps and chillers and the 2019 one is approaching it. A well-funded reserve means those are paid for; a thin one means a special levy later. Ask the association for the balance and the schedule of major works, not just the current rate.

Location and connectivity

The Hills sits in Emirates Living beside Emirates Golf Club, with Sheikh Zayed Road at the doorstep. Dubai Internet City and Media City are about five minutes by car, Dubai Marina and JLT five to ten, and the neighbouring Emirates Living districts of The Greens and The Views are next door. The nearest Metro, Dubai Internet City on the Red Line, is a short drive rather than a walk.

That geography defines the tenant. This is the western corridor: people working in the media and tech free zones, in the Marina and in JLT, who want a finished community with real retail and schools rather than a masterplan under construction. Downtown is further away than from a central address, which is the trade. What the district offers in exchange is maturity — Emirates Living has been occupied since the early 2000s and nothing here is waiting to be built.

Amenities and specifications

Four towers, two residential and two hotel, with one to four bedroom apartments. The amenity that matters is the one outside the window: the development sits directly beside Emirates Golf Club, and two and three bedroom layouts open onto balconies with unobstructed fairway views. In a city where golf frontage usually means a villa in an inland community, a golf-facing apartment on Sheikh Zayed Road is an unusual product.

The layouts are generous for the price bracket — a one-bedroom at 750 to 950 sq ft and four-bedroom layouts above 3,000 sq ft. On buildings between seven and thirteen years old, the inspection is the real work: look at the lobbies, the lifts and the pool deck, and ask what has been replaced and what has been deferred. A building that has spent on maintenance and shows it is worth more than one that kept the charge low by not spending.

About the developer

Emaar Properties is Dubai's largest listed developer and the master developer of Emirates Living, the district that also holds The Greens, The Views, The Springs, The Meadows and The Lakes. The Hills is the newer, denser piece of that older masterplan, built between 2013 and 2019 next to communities dating from the early 2000s.

For a resale buyer the construction question is closed and the management question is open. Emirates Living's advantage is maturity: established owners' associations, functioning retail, full occupancy and two decades of price history. Its disadvantage is the same thing seen from the other side — buildings age, and the developer has long since moved on to Dubai Hills Estate, Creek Harbour and the rest. What holds the district's value now is the location and the golf course, not the developer's attention.

For Indian buyers

Emirates Living is freehold, so an Indian citizen owns an apartment at The Hills outright with a Dubai Land Department title deed, pays no annual property tax in the UAE and no UAE tax on the rent.

One practical warning specific to this building, aimed at buyers researching from India: make sure the property you are buying is the one you researched. The Hills and Dubai Hills Estate are different Emaar communities, several kilometres apart, and listings conflate them. The title deed names the community; the advertisement may not. Ask for a copy before you transfer money.

On funding, AED 2.2 million is about USD 599,000, so three remitters under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance of USD 250,000 per person per financial year, or a purchase spread over financial years, or a UAE mortgage at 50 to 75% of value for a non-resident. Add about 6% in fees. Tax collected at source applies above the current threshold and is credited on your Indian return. On residency, the quoted sale range starts above the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold, though a cheaper one-bedroom resale near AED 1.6 million would not clear it alone. On income, an established district with a golf course and free-zone employment next door lets steadily; rent is taxable in India for a resident at slab rates as income from house property with the standard 30% deduction, and the property is declared in Schedule FA every year you hold it.

Pros

  • Direct frontage onto Emirates Golf Club, with most apartments facing the fairways
  • An established district with finished retail, schools and neighbours rather than a construction site
  • On Sheikh Zayed Road with Dubai Marina, JLT, Internet City and Media City minutes away
  • A wide ladder from about AED 1.6 million on a recent one-bedroom sale to AED 7.5 million
  • Service charges below the Downtown and branded-tower bands

Cons

  • Frequently confused with Dubai Hills Estate, a different Emaar community - confirm the address on the title deed
  • The earliest towers are over a decade old and have passed their first renewal cycle
  • A rate range of AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft means the building average prices nothing
  • The nearest Metro is a drive rather than a walk
  • Two of the four towers are hotel rather than residential, so the resident community is smaller than the tower count suggests

Who this is for

  • Buyers who want a golf-facing apartment in a finished, established district
  • Professionals working in Internet City, Media City, the Marina or JLT
  • Buyers who prefer a mature community to a masterplan under construction

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who actually wanted Dubai Hills Estate - it is a different community
  • Buyers who need the newest stock
  • Investors who will not inspect a decade-old building properly

Our verdict

Before anything else about this building: it is not in Dubai Hills Estate. The Hills stands in Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club, off Sheikh Zayed Road near Dubai Marina, and Dubai Hills Estate is a separate Emaar community several kilometres inland with different prices, different tenants and a different rate per foot. Listings that file it under 'Dubai Hills' are the reason buyers turn up at the wrong community, and the fix is to confirm the address on the title deed rather than in the advertisement. Once that is settled, what is here is good and quite specific. Four towers, two of them residential, built between 2013 and 2019, sitting directly on a championship golf course, in a district where the retail, the schools and the neighbours already exist. Most apartments face the fairways, and an unobstructed course view is genuinely scarce in Dubai at AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft. That spread is also the warning: it is nearly a twofold range inside one development, driven almost entirely by floor and aspect, so the building average prices nothing and the work is comparing units. The age is the other thing to price. A 2013 tower has been through its first renewal cycle and a 2019 one is approaching it, which makes the association's reserve fund the document that decides whether your service charge is stable or about to be supplemented.

A golf-facing apartment in a finished, well-connected district, at a rate the newer golf communities cannot match. Confirm you are buying in Emirates Living and not Dubai Hills Estate, compare course-facing units against inward ones rather than against the building average, and read the reserve fund before you offer.

FAQs

Is The Hills in Dubai Hills Estate?

No, and this is the most important thing on the page. The Hills is part of Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club, off Sheikh Zayed Road near Dubai Marina. Dubai Hills Estate is a separate, much newer Emaar community several kilometres inland. Some listings file The Hills under 'Dubai Hills', which is how buyers end up looking at the wrong community. Confirm the community on the title deed.

What does an apartment at The Hills cost?

Sale prices span roughly AED 2.2 million to AED 7.5 million, at rates of about AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft. Recent one-bedroom sales are reported closer to AED 1.6 million and two-bedrooms start near AED 2.85 million.

How big are the apartments?

One-beds typically 750 to 950 sq ft, two-beds 1,200 to 1,400, three-beds past 1,700, with some four-bed layouts above 3,000 sq ft. The average unit is about 878 sq ft.

What is the golf view worth?

It is the reason for most of the rate spread. The towers sit directly beside Emirates Golf Club and two and three bedroom layouts open onto balconies with unobstructed course views, which is rare in Dubai at this price. A course-facing unit and an inward one are different assets; price them separately.

When was it built?

Development ran from 2013 to 2019 across four towers, two residential and two hotel. The earliest buildings are now more than a decade old, so ask the association about the reserve fund and what major works have been done.

What are the service charges?

No building-specific figure is published by the sources checked. Dubai apartment charges run AED 10 to 30 per sq ft a year across the market, and Emirates Living sits below the Downtown and branded-tower bands. On an 878 sq ft average unit budget roughly AED 8,800 to 26,300 and get the association's actual rate.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

Yes at the quoted sale range, which starts above the AED 2 million threshold. A cheaper one-bedroom resale near AED 1.6 million would not qualify alone; the DLD permits aggregating more than one property.

Can an Indian citizen buy here?

Yes, Emirates Living is freehold. At AED 2.2 million, about USD 599,000, a purchase needs three remitters under the USD 250,000 per person LRS allowance, several financial years, or a UAE mortgage. Rent is taxable in India for a resident and the asset goes into Schedule FA.

How is the location for commuting?

Strong for the western corridor: Dubai Internet City and Media City about five minutes, Dubai Marina and JLT five to ten, Sheikh Zayed Road at the doorstep. Downtown is further than from a central address. The nearest Metro, at Dubai Internet City, is a short drive rather than a walk.

Handover Timeline

The Hills was developed between 2013 and 2019 and is complete and occupied, so a purchase is a resale settled at transfer. With the earliest towers now more than a decade old, the questions are about the buildings rather than the build: ask the owners' association for three years of service-charge statements, the reserve-fund position and the record of major works, since a 2013 building has already passed its first renewal cycle and a 2019 one is approaching it.

That said, treat any price or return figure as a guide and confirm the current cost sheet with us before you decide.

Watch-outs
Frequently confused with Dubai Hills Estate, a different Emaar community - confirm the address on the title deed. The earliest towers are over a decade old and have passed their first renewal cycle. A rate range of AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft means the building average prices nothing.
Rental demand
Homes in The Hills, Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club usually find tenants from the offices and schools around them, which keeps rental demand steady through the year.
Appreciation
Prices in this corridor have moved up over the years as new launches and roads came in. Treat any return figure as a guide, not a promise, and confirm the entry price with us first.

Price Analysis

The starting price of about AED 2.2 M (about Rs 5.67 Cr) is in line with what The Hills, Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club asks today for this kind of project. What you actually pay shifts with the floor, view, facing and unit size, plus any offer running at the time.

Treat the listed figure as a starting point, not the last word. Ask us for a unit-wise cost sheet so you see the real, all-in number before you decide.

Payment Plan Explained

Dubai off-plan is sold on a split written as two numbers. A 10/90 or 20/80 plan takes that much on booking and the rest at handover, which suits a buyer arranging a mortgage at completion; a 60/40 is the common structure, with 10% to 20% on booking, 40% to 50% across construction milestones and 40% at handover; a 70/30 puts more in the middle and leaves a smaller final cheque. A post-handover plan spreads the balance over one to three years after you have the keys, so rent can help pay it. Two questions settle whether a plan is as good as it looks: is the construction portion tied to milestones or to dates - milestones are better, because they stall if the building stalls - and what does the sale and purchase agreement say happens if you miss an instalment. Your money sits in a DLD-approved escrow account and is released against construction.

Which one suits you depends on whether you are buying to live in or to invest, and on your loan. We can lay out the exact plans on offer and what each costs you.

Hidden Charges to Budget For

Beyond the base price, budget 6% to 7% of the price in fees. The Dubai Land Department takes 4% on every transfer; registration at a trustee office is AED 4,200, or AED 2,100 under AED 500,000; the title deed is AED 580, or AED 40 to register an off-plan contract on Oqood; and a resale usually carries an agency fee of about 2% plus 5% VAT, where a purchase direct from the developer normally carries none. There is no GST and no stamp duty, and the sale of a home does not attract VAT. A mortgage adds about 0.25% of the loan plus AED 290 to register, an arrangement fee and a valuation. After handover the running cost is the service charge - roughly AED 10 to 32 per sq ft a year for apartments and AED 14 to 40 for villas - with no annual property tax on top.

None of this is truly hidden once you see a full cost sheet, but it adds up. Ask us for the complete break-up so the final figure is clear from day one.

Maintenance Cost

Maintenance is billed per square foot every month and depends on the amenities and upkeep level — bigger clubs and more facilities usually mean a slightly higher rate.

We will share the current maintenance rate for this project, along with the one-time maintenance deposit, when you reach out.

Rental Yield

Residential rental yields in The Hills, Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club are high by world standards: Dubai's citywide gross sits at about 6% to 8%, with the mid-market communities - JVC, Arjan, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubailand - running 8% to 9.5% and the premium addresses, Downtown and Palm Jumeirah, 4% to 6%. Net is 1.5 to 2.5 points below gross once the annual service charge and about 6% management are paid, so a 9% headline in a mid-market tower settles near 6%, and a 5% in Downtown nearer 3.5%. Ask for the building's own service charge per sq ft before you trust any yield quoted to you.

If rental income is your main aim, tell us your budget and we will point you to the configurations that rent out fastest here.

Resale Potential

Resale demand in The Hills, Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club is generally active because the corridor stays in demand with both end-users and investors. A known builder and a good location usually make a unit easier to sell later.

Resale value still comes down to the exact unit, floor and the market at the time, so buy at a sensible price and the resale side tends to look after itself.

Handover Risks

As a ready or near-ready project, possession risk here is low — what you see is largely what you get.

Before booking, check the RERA possession date and the delay clause. We will also share the builder's track record on delivery so you go in with eyes open.

Bank Loan Availability

Home loans here are generally easy to arrange, since leading banks usually approve known builders and RERA-registered projects. Banks typically fund up to roughly 75 to 90 percent of the cost based on your profile.

We can connect you with loan partners, help with eligibility and paperwork, and line up a competitive interest rate.

Construction Updates

The project is currently ready to move. The build stage and finishing change month to month.

Drive times From The Hills, Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club, drive times depend on where the community sits on the Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Emirates Road grid: the central districts are 10 to 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai and DIFC on a normal day, the outer communities 30 to 45. Dubai International Airport (DXB) sits on the same spine, and Al Maktoum International (DWC) serves the south of the city.
Peak-hour traffic Sheikh Zayed Road and the Al Khail and Hessa Street interchanges run slower from about 7 to 9.30 in the morning and 5 to 8 in the evening. Keep an extra 15 to 20 minutes in hand on a working day, and count the Salik toll gates on your route - each crossing is AED 4 off-peak and AED 6 at peak.
Metro & rapid transit The Dubai Metro Red Line runs the length of Sheikh Zayed Road and the Green Line through Deira and Bur Dubai; a community away from the lines relies on RTA buses, taxis and its own cars. The Blue Line, due in 2029, adds Dubai Creek Harbour, Mirdif, Silicon Oasis, International City and Academic City.
Future infrastructure The Metro Blue Line, the widening of Hessa Street and Umm Suqeim Street, the Al Khail Road improvement works and the expansion of Al Maktoum airport are the projects that should cut travel times in the outer communities over the next few years.
Daily commute For a working family, school runs, the office and the weekend stay within a manageable radius: most communities have schools and a mall or retail strip inside or beside them, which is a large part of why they hold rental demand.

About Emaar Properties

Emaar Properties logo
Emaar Properties

Emaar Properties is Dubai's largest listed developer and the master developer of Emirates Living, the district that also holds The Greens, The Views, The Springs, The Meadows and The Lakes. The Hills is the newer, higher-density piece of that older masterplan, built between 2013 and 2019 against neighbouring communities dating from the early 2000s. For a resale buyer the relevant record is management rather than construction: Emirates Living is a mature district with established associations, functioning retail and full occupancy, which is a different and in some ways safer proposition than a masterplan still being built out.

Payment Plan

No developer plan applies. A purchase is a resale settled at transfer, in cash or with a mortgage of up to 80% of value for a UAE resident and typically 50 to 75% for a non-resident. On a AED 2,200,000 purchase: the 4% DLD transfer fee is AED 88,000, trustee and title-deed fees about AED 4,200 and a 2% agency commission AED 44,000, so roughly AED 2,336,000 all in. Emirates Living is an established district rather than a new prime one, and its apartment service charges sit below the Downtown and branded-tower bands. No building-specific figure is published; Dubai apartment charges run AED 10 to 30 per sq ft a year across the market, so on an 878 sq ft average unit budget roughly AED 8,800 to 26,300 and get the association's actual rate before you offer. Final figures as per the sale agreement and the title deed.

Specifications

Four towers, two residential and two hotel, built between 2013 and 2019 in the Emirates Living masterplan. Apartments run one to four bedrooms: one-beds typically 750 to 950 sq ft, two-beds 1,200 to 1,400, three-beds past 1,700 and some four-bed layouts above 3,000 sq ft, with an average unit of about 878 sq ft. The defining feature is the outlook - the towers sit directly beside Emirates Golf Club and most apartments face the fairways, with two and three bedroom layouts opening onto balconies with unobstructed course views. On a building of this age, inspect the unit and the common areas rather than reading a specification sheet.

💬 Our View

Before anything else about this building: it is not in Dubai Hills Estate. The Hills stands in Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club, off Sheikh Zayed Road near Dubai Marina, and Dubai Hills Estate is a separate Emaar community several kilometres inland with different prices, different tenants and a different rate per foot. Listings that file it under 'Dubai Hills' are the reason buyers turn up at the wrong community, and the fix is to confirm the address on the title deed rather than in the advertisement. Once that is settled, what is here is good and quite specific. Four towers, two of them residential, built between 2013 and 2019, sitting directly on a championship golf course, in a district where the retail, the schools and the neighbours already exist. Most apartments face the fairways, and an unobstructed course view is genuinely scarce in Dubai at AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft. That spread is also the warning: it is nearly a twofold range inside one development, driven almost entirely by floor and aspect, so the building average prices nothing and the work is comparing units. The age is the other thing to price. A 2013 tower has been through its first renewal cycle and a 2019 one is approaching it, which makes the association's reserve fund the document that decides whether your service charge is stable or about to be supplemented.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Hills in Dubai Hills Estate? +
No, and this is the most important thing on the page. The Hills is part of Emirates Living, beside Emirates Golf Club, off Sheikh Zayed Road near Dubai Marina. Dubai Hills Estate is a separate, much newer Emaar community several kilometres inland. Some listings file The Hills under 'Dubai Hills', which is how buyers end up looking at the wrong community. Confirm the community on the title deed.
What does an apartment at The Hills cost? +
Sale prices span roughly AED 2.2 million to AED 7.5 million, at rates of about AED 1,800 to 3,400 per sq ft. Recent one-bedroom sales are reported closer to AED 1.6 million and two-bedrooms start near AED 2.85 million.
How big are the apartments? +
One-beds typically 750 to 950 sq ft, two-beds 1,200 to 1,400, three-beds past 1,700, with some four-bed layouts above 3,000 sq ft. The average unit is about 878 sq ft.
What is the golf view worth? +
It is the reason for most of the rate spread. The towers sit directly beside Emirates Golf Club and two and three bedroom layouts open onto balconies with unobstructed course views, which is rare in Dubai at this price. A course-facing unit and an inward one are different assets; price them separately.
When was it built? +
Development ran from 2013 to 2019 across four towers, two residential and two hotel. The earliest buildings are now more than a decade old, so ask the association about the reserve fund and what major works have been done.
What are the service charges? +
No building-specific figure is published by the sources checked. Dubai apartment charges run AED 10 to 30 per sq ft a year across the market, and Emirates Living sits below the Downtown and branded-tower bands. On an 878 sq ft average unit budget roughly AED 8,800 to 26,300 and get the association's actual rate.
Does it qualify for the Golden Visa? +
Yes at the quoted sale range, which starts above the AED 2 million threshold. A cheaper one-bedroom resale near AED 1.6 million would not qualify alone; the DLD permits aggregating more than one property.
Can an Indian citizen buy here? +
Yes, Emirates Living is freehold. At AED 2.2 million, about USD 599,000, a purchase needs three remitters under the USD 250,000 per person LRS allowance, several financial years, or a UAE mortgage. Rent is taxable in India for a resident and the asset goes into Schedule FA.
How is the location for commuting? +
Strong for the western corridor: Dubai Internet City and Media City about five minutes, Dubai Marina and JLT five to ten, Sheikh Zayed Road at the doorstep. Downtown is further than from a central address. The nearest Metro, at Dubai Internet City, is a short drive rather than a walk.

Final Verdict

A golf-facing apartment in a finished, well-connected district, at a rate the newer golf communities cannot match. Confirm you are buying in Emirates Living and not Dubai Hills Estate, compare course-facing units against inward ones rather than against the building average, and read the reserve fund before you offer.
