Zinnia is a purpose-built community developed by DAMAC Properties within DAMAC Hills 2. As part of a larger master-planned suburb, this enclave offers residential units designed for serene living, ideal for those seeking a balance between city access and a peaceful lifestyle. Construction of the area involved smart urban planning methods with separate infrastructure for vehicles and pedestrians.
The community is populated by modern villas and townhouses, most of which are available for sale. Layouts range between 1,700 and 2,500 sq. ft. with configurations of 3 to 6 bedrooms. These homes are well-equipped with ensuite bedrooms, guest accommodations, maid’s rooms in some models, and double-glazed windows. Many homes come with private gardens and terraces.
Zinnia also stands out for its focus on eco-friendly features and lifestyle amenities. These include a hydroponic café growing ingredients on-site, a large children’s water park, dedicated play areas, and nearby shopping and healthcare facilities. The community’s golf course, designed by Tiger Woods, further enhances its appeal to outdoor enthusiasts and golf lovers.
Though currently under further development, the area is gaining popularity with both investors and end-users due to its competitive property prices and long-term growth potential. Despite the distance from central Dubai, future amenities promise a self-sustaining lifestyle with everything available within close reach.
