Developed by Emaar Properties
Maeen is a well-established sub-community located within The Lakes, a prominent residential development by Emaar Properties. As part of one of Dubai’s first master-planned villa neighborhoods, Maeen benefits from the developer’s vision of blending tranquil residential environments with urban connectivity. This sub-community is particularly known for its serene setting, mature landscaping, and scenic lake views, making it highly suitable for families and professionals seeking a calm yet accessible living environment.
Maeen villas come in various floor plans, offering a number of design options to accommodate different family sizes and lifestyles. The homes typically feature private gardens, parking decks, and expansive interiors with open-plan designs. Others feature balconies and terraces looking onto lakes or tree-lined avenues, which offer an increased sense of privacy and nature. The building architecture is a minimalist, contemporary style in keeping with Emaar standards of quality.
The location of Maeen in The Lakes gives residents an unbroken walkability to a wide range of core amenities and main road arteries. Crossing Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, the community offers convenient access to key locations like Dubai Marina, Internet City, and Downtown Dubai. Convenient accessibility to surrounding shopping malls, schools, and healthcare facilities further boosts convenience on a daily basis, and walkability is supported through the internal road network and footpaths within the community.
With a design that prioritizes green spaces, safe streets, and community-oriented living, Maeen successfully merges natural landscapes with suburban comfort. Residents enjoy landscaped parks, children’s play areas, jogging tracks, and community pools, all contributing to a well-rounded lifestyle. The emphasis on peaceful, family-focused living—combined with reliable infrastructure and thoughtful planning—has made Maeen a consistently attractive choice within Dubai’s villa market.
