About Emirates Hills
Emirates Hills, developed by Emaar Properties, is a prestigious gated community that was established in 2003. Inspired by Beverly Hills, it embodies luxury living at its finest and is a key component of the Emirates Living master development. As one of the first freehold property areas in Dubai, it has allowed expatriates the opportunity to purchase and own homes in one of the UAE's most sought-after neighbourhoods, attracting many, including celebrities, who reside or own properties within the community.
The master plan of Emirates Hills features a variety of ultra-luxurious villa sub-communities, including Montgomerie Hills, Dyaar Al Hambra, Montgomerie Maisonettes, and Signature Villas, alongside individual residential clusters designated as Sector A, B, Sector C, Sector E, and others. Properties here are known for their extravagance, both externally and internally, offering breathtaking views of the Montgomerie Golf Club's 18-hole course and the Dubai skyline. Plot sizes for custom-built homes range from 12,000 sq. ft. to 45,000 sq. ft.
This master-planned Emaar community guarantees a luxurious lifestyle with its lush green scenery, elegant neighbourhoods, and beautifully designed villas. It is recognized as one of the most family-centric and pet-friendly communities in Dubai, featuring dedicated pet parks and playgrounds for children. The development emphasizes Emaar's commitment to excellence, providing not only ready-to-move-in modern properties but also plots for individuals to construct homes according to their own preferences and finishes.
Emirates Hills offers a peaceful and secure environment with 24-hour maintenance, ideal for those preferring a tranquil lifestyle away from the city's hustle and bustle. Despite its secluded feel, the community is well-connected to Dubai's main highways, ensuring convenient access to key business districts such as Dubai Marina and Dubai Media City, making it an appealing place to live due to its elegant landscape, amazing architecture, and strategic location.
