About Maple 3 Dubai Hills Estate
Maple 3 is the third phase of Emaar's Maple townhouses in Dubai Hills Estate: 3, 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses of about 2,200 to 2,700 sq ft, completed and occupied. The source listing shows it from AED 4.24 M, about Rs 10.92 Cr at 25.75 rupees to the dirham.
Maple is the cheapest way to own a house with a garden in Dubai Hills, and its prices have roughly doubled since the 2018 launch. The listed figure is the floor: Property Finder and Bayut show 3 BHK asking prices of AED 4.68 M to 5.5 M. This page prints both, works the fees and the yield, and says who should pay the extra for a townhouse over an apartment. See all Dubai projects we track for the rest of the estate.

| Launch, 2018 | — | AED 2.1 M (3 BHK), 2.6 M (4 BHK), 3.0 M (5 BHK) | — | About 950 to 1,200 |
Two comparisons. Against its own history, Maple has roughly doubled from AED 950 to 1,200 per sq ft at launch to AED 1,900 to 2,470 today; one dated tracker still prints AED 1,171 per sq ft for Maple 1, which is a stale number. Against the estate, Dubai Hills secondary villas average AED 2,738 per sq ft and the community's first-half 2026 average was AED 2,848 across 1,436 sales, so Maple sits 10 to 30 per cent under the estate's houses, which is what a compact townhouse plot should cost relative to a villa. The AED 4.24 M listing is either a plain unit backing onto a neighbour or a price that has moved; ask for the DLD history before you anchor on it.
Payment plan and total cost
No developer plan applies to a completed townhouse. Maple launched with a 25/75 three-year post-handover plan and a 50/50 two-year post-handover plan; both ended with delivery. You pay at transfer, in cash or with a UAE mortgage at 50 to 60 per cent loan-to-value for non-residents.
| Item | At the listed AED 4.24 M | At the portal average, about AED 5.1 M |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | AED 4,240,000 (about Rs 10.92 Cr) | AED 5,100,000 (about Rs 13.13 Cr) |
| DLD transfer fee, 4 per cent | AED 169,600 | AED 204,000 |
| DLD trustee and title-deed admin fees | About AED 4,000 to 5,000 | About AED 4,000 to 5,000 |
| Agency commission, typically 2 per cent | About AED 84,800 | About AED 102,000 |
| Total to complete | About AED 4,499,000 (about Rs 11.58 Cr) | About AED 5,411,000 (about Rs 13.93 Cr) |
Service charges for Dubai Hills townhouses are billed per plot by Emaar Community Management and sit above the Dubai average; apartment buildings in the estate run AED 14 to 18 per sq ft and houses cost more per unit. Add garden and air-conditioning upkeep. Get the last two invoices from the seller. Final as per the sale agreement.
Location and connectivity
Maple sits on the inner side of Dubai Hills Estate. Dubai Hills Park and King's College Hospital are about five minutes by car, Dubai Hills Mall five to seven, the golf club about seven, the GEMS schools inside the estate under ten, Downtown 15 to 20 minutes via Al Khail Road and Dubai International Airport 20 to 25. The estate is finished around it; the remaining construction is apartment towers on the park side and the last villa phases such as Park Gate. Maple's own streets are dense, with townhouses in rows and back-to-back, so the specific plot matters: end units and units facing a pocket park trade at a premium.
Amenities and specifications
Each townhouse has an open-plan ground floor, a fitted kitchen, built-in wardrobes, a maid's room, covered parking for two cars and a private garden; listings note balconies, walk-in closets and central air-conditioning. The cluster has pocket parks, a community pool, cycle paths and play areas. Many owners have added pergolas, outdoor kitchens or extensions, which affect price and need permits. Final as per the sale agreement.
About the developer
Emaar Properties is Dubai's largest listed developer and, with Meraas, the master developer of Dubai Hills Estate. It has delivered more than 130,900 homes since 2002, handed over 3,633 units in the first half of 2026, reported AED 49.6 billion of revenue for 2025 and carried a revenue backlog of AED 163.4 billion at 31 March 2026. Maple's phases were delivered from 2019 and are occupied, so the only Emaar factor left is community management.
For overseas buyers
Buying from abroad. On the AED 4.24 million entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 169,600 (USD 46,200), and registration, trustee and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% to 7% over the price. Most overseas buyers pay through the developer's plan rather than a UAE mortgage. The ownership rules, fees and non-resident lending for every passport are in our Dubai buying guide; the notes below work the numbers for an Indian buyer.
Ownership. Dubai Hills Estate is freehold; the title deed is in your name.
Remittance. AED 4.24 M is about USD 1.15 M and AED 5.1 M about USD 1.39 M. Under the LRS each person can remit USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple needs two to three years or a family of four can cover it in one, plus about 6 per cent in fees. Line up the remittances before signing; sellers expect completion in 30 to 60 days.
Golden Visa. Every Maple townhouse is above the AED 2 M threshold, and one unit covers the applicant, spouse and children.
Yield and tax. Dubai Hills yields about 5.4 per cent gross on average; a townhouse at AED 5 M let to a family on a 12-month lease should return about 4.5 to 5 per cent before the community charge. No UAE tax applies; in India the rent is income from house property after the 30 per cent standard deduction. Resale is liquid because the Maple cluster has hundreds of near-identical units, which also caps how far one townhouse can outperform its neighbours.
Pros
- Completed Emaar townhouses in a built-out estate with the mall, park, hospital and schools open
- About AED 1,900 to 2,470 per sq ft, under the estate's villa average of AED 2,738
- The cheapest house with a garden in Dubai Hills
- Every unit clears the Golden Visa line
- Deep comparables — hundreds of Maple townhouses
- Doubled since launch, with estate villa values up about 15 per cent last year
Cons
- The AED 4.24 M listing is below the portal range — expect to pay nearer AED 5 M
- Full payment at transfer
- About AED 260,000 to 310,000 in fees
- Per-plot service charge above the Dubai average, plus garden upkeep
- Dense cluster — many units back onto each other
- Maple 3's exact handover date not printed by the sources checked
Who this is for
- Families who want a garden and three or more bedrooms in Dubai Hills at half the price of a Sidra villa
- Indian buyers who want a Golden Visa and a home near the estate's schools
- Investors who prefer a house that rents to families on 12-month leases
- Buyers who value Emaar management and a liquid resale market
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone budgeting off AED 4.24 M without room to reach AED 5 M
- Yield-first investors — apartments in the estate yield more
- Buyers who need a payment plan
- Anyone who wants a large plot or a golf-course view
Our verdict
Buy Maple 3 as a family home with a visa, priced off the portal range rather than the listing floor. Budget about 6 per cent in fees, inspect the plot and its neighbours, and compare a 3 BHK here against a 2 BHK apartment in the same estate before deciding whether the garden is worth the extra AED 2 M. More options are on our project list.

FAQs
What is the price of a Maple 3 townhouse?
The source listing shows Maple 3 from AED 4.24 M, about Rs 10.92 Cr. Property Finder and Bayut show 3 BHK asking prices from AED 4,675,000 to 5,500,000 with an average near AED 5.1 M; 4 and 5 BHK units cost more. Launch prices in 2018 were AED 2.1 M to 3.0 M.
Is Maple 3 ready?
Yes. The Maple phases were delivered from 2019 and Maple 3 is complete and occupied. Every unit on sale is a resale with a DLD title deed.
What is the payment plan for a Maple 3 townhouse?
None on a completed townhouse. The launch 25/75 and 50/50 post-handover plans ended with delivery. You pay in full at transfer or with a UAE mortgage at 50 to 60 per cent loan-to-value for non-residents.
How big are the townhouses at a Maple 3 townhouse?
About 2,200 to 2,700 sq ft built-up: 3 BHK about 2,228 sq ft, 4 BHK 2,387 to 2,462 sq ft, 5 BHK about 2,700 sq ft. Check the registered area on the title deed.
What are the fees on AED 4.24 M?
DLD transfer fee of 4 per cent is about AED 169,600, admin fees about AED 4,000 to 5,000, and a 2 per cent agency commission about AED 84,800. Budget about AED 260,000, roughly Rs 67 lakh.
Does Maple 3 qualify for the Golden Visa?
Yes. Every townhouse is above the AED 2 M threshold for the 10-year visa, and one unit covers the applicant, spouse and children. Confirm the current rules with the ICP.
Can a foreign national buy in Maple?
Yes, Dubai Hills is freehold. AED 4.24 M is about USD 1.15 M; under the LRS (the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme) each person can remit USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple needs about two and a half years or a family of four can cover it in one, plus fees. Plan the remittances before signing. Buyers of any other nationality can own on the same terms: Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to all nationalities, there is no residency requirement and no local partner, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name.
What rent and yield can I expect at a Maple 3 townhouse?
Dubai Hills Estate yields about 5.4 per cent gross on average, with townhouses between apartments and large villas. On a AED 5 M purchase expect a gross yield near 4.5 to 5 per cent from a 12-month family tenancy; deduct the community charge and garden upkeep.
What has Emaar delivered?
More than 130,900 homes since 2002 and 3,633 in the first half of 2026. Maple's phases were delivered from 2019 and are occupied.

Maple's phases were delivered from 2019, so there is no developer risk here; Emaar Community Management runs the estate.
Payment Plan
Specifications
💬 Our View
Maple 3 is the entry ticket to a house in Dubai Hills Estate. At about AED 1,900 to 2,290 per sq ft it is cheaper than the estate's villa average and a fraction of the price of Sidra, and the townhouses have doubled since their 2018 launch. The listed AED 4.24 M is the floor; the portals say a 3 BHK really trades between AED 4.68 M and 5.5 M, so budget for AED 5 M and be pleased if you do better. What you get is a compact two-storey house with a garden in a finished estate, next to schools, a mall and a hospital, with a Golden Visa attached. What you do not get is a large plot or a view, and the yield is a homeowner's 4.5 to 5 per cent rather than an investor's. For an Indian family relocating, that is the right trade.

Final Verdict
Buy Maple 3 as a family home with a visa, priced off the portal range rather than the listing floor.
