Green Acres at DAMAC Hills Dubai

Green Acres is a cluster of three- and four-bedroom villas by DAMAC Properties inside DAMAC Hills, overlooking a large tropical park and surrounded by the community's parks and lakes. Homes run from about 1,845 sq ft (171 sq m) to around 2,055 sq ft, and some listings describe them as ready to move into.

Three price figures circulate and they do not agree: a starting price of AED 1,660,000, about Rs 4.27 crore; large four-bedrooms on the park from AED 1.8 million; and four-bedrooms from about AED 3.5 million for 2,055 sq ft. The gap between the first two and the third is the whole story here, and it is worked through below. The source listing for this project carries no price.

At a glance

Price: three figures, two different markets

Divide each published price by the size attached to it and the cluster splits cleanly in two:

The AED 1.66 million and AED 1.8 million figures imply about AED 876 to 900 per sq ft — roughly 15% below DAMAC Hills' transaction-weighted median of AED 1,060, and around half the AED 1,600 to 1,700 its 2026 indicators point to. The AED 3.5 million four-bedroom implies AED 1,703, landing exactly on those indicators.

Two figures that far apart cannot both describe today's market for the same 2,055 sq ft house. The likeliest reading is that AED 1.66 million and AED 1.8 million are launch or promotional figures carried forward on portal pages, and AED 3.5 million is what a four-bedroom here costs in 2026 - consistent with the community's own record, where 2022 and 2023 buyers at about AED 2.2 million now report AED 3.0 to 3.5 million.

We carry AED 1,660,000 as the headline because it is the figure published as the starting price. Plan around AED 1,703 per sq ft, ask which units are still available at the lower figures, and get the size against every quote.

The incentives, priced

Green Acres is marketed with two incentives worth real money, and both can be quantified:

The DLD waiver is the concrete one: 2% rather than 4% saves AED 33,200 at the quoted entry price and about AED 70,000 on a AED 3.5 million villa. Get it written into the sale documents rather than promised in a brochure — the fee is paid at the trustee office and a verbal waiver is worth nothing there — and confirm whether it applies to direct developer purchases only.

Cost to own

Some listings describe these villas as ready to move into and no source publishes a handover date, so treat this as a completed purchase and verify it. On the quoted AED 1,660,000, buying direct with the waiver applied:

That is about USD 462,000, inside a couple's combined Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance of USD 500,000 for a financial year — the only villa cluster on our DAMAC Hills pages where that holds at the quoted entry price. At AED 3.5 million it is about USD 985,000, which does not.

The service charge is the other structural advantage. At AED 2 to 6 per sq ft a year a 1,845 sq ft villa runs at roughly AED 3,700 to 11,100 — less than a 900 sq ft Business Bay apartment on the AED 10 to 30 band. No source publishes Green Acres' approved budget; get it in writing.

Location and amenities

Green Acres sits inside DAMAC Hills, the 42 million sq ft gated community DAMAC launched in Dubailand in 2012, now holding 33 sub-communities and more than 26,000 residents.

The cluster's setting is its selling point: villas overlooking a large tropical park, with the community's parks and lakes around them. Where the top tier is defined by golf frontage, park frontage is the next tier — and a park outlook is permanent in a way an interior plot's view is not.

Behind it sits the community set: the Trump International Golf Club's 18-hole course, the Malibu Bay wave pool, an equestrian centre, a 2,000 sq m skate park and a central park. What DAMAC Hills does not have is a Metro station, and residents need cars.

Amenities and specifications

What the sources publish about the houses themselves is narrow: three- and four-bedroom villas from about 1,845 sq ft to 2,055 sq ft, individually sited and overlooking the tropical park.

That size range is the tightest of any DAMAC Hills cluster on our pages — about 11% between smallest and largest — which is helpful: any large gap between two quotes here is about position, condition or the age of the price list rather than square footage. No source publishes a fit-out schedule, plot-size range or completion date, so get all three in writing. Everything specified is final as per the SPA and the title deed.

About the developer

DAMAC Properties is the largest private developer in the UAE and the Middle East, with 50,000 homes handed over and more than 54,000 units under construction. In 2026 it handed over 8,800 residential units across Dubai, DAMAC Hills among them.

The relevant point here is that DAMAC still runs the master community and still holds plots inside the gates. Since Green Acres sells on its park outlook, ask what is approved on the land between the villas and the park before paying a frontage premium.

For Indian buyers

DAMAC Hills is freehold, so an Indian citizen can own here outright with a Dubai Land Department title deed, and there is no annual property tax in Dubai. The recurring cost is the service charge, roughly AED 3,700 to 11,100 a year on the entry villa.

This is the most accessible villa on our DAMAC Hills pages in funding terms. At the quoted AED 1,660,000 the total to own is about USD 462,000, inside a couple's combined USD 500,000 LRS allowance, and the DLD waiver plus a two-year post-completion plan spread the outflow further. At AED 3.5 million it is about USD 985,000, needing four remitters or a mortgage. Your bank will want the sale agreement and the DLD trustee details, and TCS applies above the current threshold.

On residency, be clear-eyed: neither AED 1,660,000 nor AED 1,800,000 reaches the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold. Only the AED 3.5 million four-bedroom does. This is the one DAMAC Hills cluster on our pages where the entry home does not carry a visa with it. On tax at home, Dubai rent is taxable in India for a resident at slab rates as income from house property with the standard 30% deduction, and the asset is reported in Schedule FA. The UAE takes nothing, so there is no foreign tax credit.

Pros

• The most affordable villa entry on our DAMAC Hills pages — about USD 462,000 all-in at the quoted price
• A 50% DLD fee waiver worth about AED 33,200 at the entry price and AED 70,000 on a AED 3.5 million villa
• A two-year post-completion payment plan, so rent can fund part of the balance
• Villa service charges of about AED 2 to 6 per sq ft a year, cheaper than a much smaller apartment
• Park frontage, permanent in a way an interior plot's outlook is not
• The tightest size range of any DAMAC Hills cluster here, about 11%

Cons

• Published prices imply AED 876 to 1,703 per sq ft — a near doubling that cannot describe one market
• The AED 1.66 million and AED 1.8 million figures sit below the community's own AED 1,060 median rate
• Neither entry figure reaches the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold
• No handover or completion date is published by any source we checked
• No service charge, plot-size range or fit-out schedule is published for the cluster
• No DLD or RERA project number is printed by any source we checked
• The DLD waiver usually applies to direct developer purchases only — confirm before relying on it
• No Metro station — residents and tenants need cars

Who this is for

• Couples remitting a combined USD 500,000 who want a villa rather than an apartment
• Buyers who want park frontage in a golf community without paying golf-frontage prices
• Investors who value the DLD waiver and post-completion plan and will get both in writing

Who should look elsewhere

• Golden Visa buyers below the AED 3.5 million four-bedroom
• Anyone who will not establish which of the three published prices is current
• Buyers who need a confirmed completion date before committing
• Residents who need a Metro-served address

Our verdict

Green Acres is the most accessible way onto a DAMAC Hills villa plot on our pages, and if AED 1,660,000 is genuinely available it is a strong buy: about USD 462,000 all-in with the DLD waiver, park frontage, and running costs of AED 3,700 to 11,100 a year. A couple's combined LRS allowance covers it, which is true of nothing else here.

The arithmetic argues against that figure being current. AED 1.66 million over 1,845 sq ft is about AED 900 per sq ft, roughly 15% below the community's own transaction median, while the only figure quoted with a size attached — AED 3.5 million on 2,055 sq ft — implies AED 1,703, landing exactly on the community's 2026 indicators. Both cannot be today's price for almost the same house. Ask which units are available at which figure, get the size against every quote, insist the DLD waiver is written into the sale documents, and confirm what is approved between the villas and the park. If AED 1.66 million is real, take it. If the real number is AED 3.5 million, this is a fairly priced community villa rather than a bargain — and it clears the Golden Visa threshold, which the cheaper figures do not.

FAQs

What does a villa at Green Acres cost?

Three figures circulate: a starting price of AED 1,660,000, about Rs 4.27 crore; large four-bedrooms on the park from AED 1.8 million; and four-bedrooms from about AED 3.5 million for 2,055 sq ft. The first two imply AED 876 to 900 per sq ft and the third AED 1,703, so they cannot all describe today's market.

How big are the villas?

About 1,845 sq ft (171 sq m) to around 2,055 sq ft, across three- and four-bedroom layouts - only about an 11% spread, which is unusually tight. Any large gap between two quotes here is about position, condition or the age of the price list rather than square footage.

Which price should I plan around?

AED 1,703 per sq ft, the rate implied by the only figure published with a size attached. That lands on DAMAC Hills' 2026 indicators of AED 1,600 to 1,700, while the cheaper figures sit below the community's own AED 1,060 transaction median - not where a park-facing villa trades.

What is the 50% DLD waiver worth?

The standard DLD transfer fee is 4%. A 50% waiver makes it 2%, which saves about AED 33,200 on the quoted AED 1,660,000 entry price and about AED 70,000 on a AED 3.5 million villa. Get it written into the sale documents - the fee is paid at the trustee office and a verbal waiver is worth nothing there - and confirm whether it applies only to direct developer purchases.

Is it finished?

Some listings describe the villas as ready to move into, but no source we checked publishes a handover or completion date, which is why this page carries none. Establish the status with documents: the completion certificate if it is finished, the DLD-recorded construction milestone if it is not.

What are the service charges?

Not published for this cluster. Dubai villa service charges run about AED 2 to 6 per sq ft a year, which on a 1,845 sq ft house is roughly AED 3,700 to 11,100 - less than a 900 sq ft Business Bay apartment costs to run. Get the RERA-approved budget for Green Acres in writing; DAMAC Hills' 33 sub-communities do not share one.

Does it give a Golden Visa?

Only at the top. The AED 2 million property threshold is above both the AED 1,660,000 starting price and the AED 1,800,000 park four-bedroom figure; only the AED 3.5 million four-bedroom clears it. This is the one DAMAC Hills cluster on our pages where the entry home does not carry a visa with it.

Can an Indian citizen buy here?

Yes. DAMAC Hills is freehold, so any nationality can own outright with a DLD title deed. At the quoted AED 1,660,000 the total to own is about USD 462,000, inside a couple's combined USD 500,000 LRS allowance. At AED 3.5 million it is about USD 985,000, needing four remitters or a mortgage.

Who is the developer?

DAMAC Properties, the largest private developer in the UAE and the Middle East, with 50,000 homes handed over and more than 54,000 units under construction. In 2026 it handed over 8,800 residential units across Dubai, DAMAC Hills among them.
