Emaar South
About Emaar South
Emaar South is a large-scale residential development by Emaar Properties, situated within the fast-developing Dubai South district. The project is part of a broader urban plan to support the area's growth as a logistics and aviation hub, owing to its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport.
Construction began in phases, with multiple sub-communities being developed to cater to diverse lifestyle preferences. The properties here range from 1 to 4-bedroom apartments and villas with contemporary architecture and community-focused layouts. Emaar South emphasizes open green spaces and encourages walkability throughout the neighborhood.
One of the unique aspects of Emaar South is the integrated 18-hole championship golf course, which enhances the community’s lifestyle appeal. Additionally, Emaar has included several schools and retail options within walking distance, ensuring residents have easy access to essential services.
The development’s location makes it particularly attractive for aviation professionals and those working near the Expo 2020 area. With its close access to major highways like Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, commuting to central Dubai is also convenient.
