Emaar South is a district of Dubai, 2 listings available with us.
Emaar South is a master-planned residential community in Dubai South (Dubai World Central) organised around an 18‑hole championship golf course and large landscaped open spaces. The scheme combines villa and townhouse neighbourhoods with apartment clusters, retail precincts and leisure infrastructure within a 700‑hectare site designed for connectivity, walkability and a mix of residential densities.
Developed by Emaar as part of the Dubai South urban area, Emaar South occupies a strategic location near Al Maktoum International Airport and the Expo 2020 precinct. The masterplan emphasises green boulevards, parks, cycling and pedestrian trails, and a public transport network that was conceived to include low‑emission and autonomous vehicles. The overall residential target for the masterplan exceeds 15,000 homes and comprises villas, tiered townhomes, town houses and apartment buildings arranged in distinct neighbourhoods and clusters.
Road access is the primary mode of travel for residents. The community sits within easy reach of the new airport city and Expo area while the nearest Dubai Metro Red Line station (code R76) is not within walking distance, at approximately 12.6 km. Key straight‑line/road distances from Emaar South are:
Published travel summaries for the area cite typical driving times to central Dubai and the coast that reflect these distances — for example, journeys to Dubai Mall or Burj Al Arab are commonly measured in tens of minutes depending on traffic, while Al Maktoum International Airport is only a short drive away.
The community is structured around a championship golf course and a clubhouse. Residential districts are linked by tree‑lined boulevards with parks, promenades and local retail. Masterplan components described by the developer and documented in project sources include multi‑use retail precincts, several community parks, walking and bicycle trails, three‑ and four‑star hotels, a K‑12 educational institution and a golf villa recreational centre.
Construction has progressed across multiple neighbourhoods and phases. Among completed and active elements of the development are:

According to the original masterplan materials, the build‑out was organised in multiple phases. The initial phase included a mix of tiered townhomes, villas, townhouses, apartments and retail. Some neighbourhoods referenced in early documentation—such as Golf Links and Golf Views—were reported as completed in mid‑2020.
Emaar South comprises several smaller districts and villa clusters. Representative sub‑areas with direct references include:
Emaar South is oriented to buyers and residents seeking low‑density neighbourhoods and family housing with green space and golf frontage. The product mix—villas, townhouses and apartments—caters to households prioritising outdoor amenity, private gardens or course views, and those who value proximity to the Al Maktoum airport and the Expo precinct. The community profile is consistent with long‑term residential occupancy and families rather than purely inner‑city commuters.

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved +11% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2022 to 2025 — +56% on the price per square metre across 8 buildings that traded in both years.
For comparison: the median across the whole district moved +103%. The gap between the two figures is not existing homes appreciating — it is newer, more expensive buildings entering the market. Returns on a purchase follow the first figure.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 10 years, from 2017.
* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
