Emirates Hills is a district of Dubai, 2.8 km from Sobha Realty Metro Station.
Emirates Hills is a gated residential community in Dubai known for detached villas and townhouses arranged around the Montgomerie Championship Golf Course. Laid out with private plots and low-rise built form, the neighbourhood was developed on a plot-by-plot basis, with original buyers selecting villa designs from a range of international architects. The area is widely associated with high-value private residences and headline property transactions in Dubai.
Emirates Hills is a master-planned, gated community comprising largely bespoke villas and townhouse clusters set around an 18-hole golf course. The development takes its name from Beverly Hills and sits approximately 3 km inland from Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. The community is positioned between the city’s main north–south highways while retaining a contained, low-rise character with streets that wind around fairways and private gardens.
Coordinates for the neighbourhood are approximately 25.06624°N, 55.17111°E. The layout emphasizes privacy, individual plots and landscaped public spaces, with properties typically offering views over the golf course and surrounding greenery.
Emirates Hills is automobile-oriented but within a short driving radius of several major destinations in Dubai. Distances from the community to key points are approximately:
The nearest Dubai Metro station is Nakheel on the Red Line; the community sits roughly 2.8 km from the line and the metro is generally reached by short car journeys rather than walking. Travel times are roughly 20–45 minutes by car to central destinations such as The Dubai Mall, Burj Al Arab and DXB, depending on traffic conditions.
Emirates Hills was planned as a low-rise villa community with individually designed houses on private plots. Original plot sales allowed buyers to choose villa styles from a range of architects; the resulting housing stock is predominantly detached villas and a limited number of townhouses. Properties commonly include private gardens and rooftop or terrace spaces with golf-course views.
Nearby developments include Signature Towers by Damac Properties, which began in 2010 and has been completed.
Emirates Hills is characterised by single-family residences arranged around the golf course, rather than high-rise towers.
The community also includes smaller named enclaves, including:
The neighbourhood is associated with high-value private transactions. Reported headline sales and listings include a Baroque-style mansion acquired for approximately AED 367 million after an earlier listing near AED 735 million; a property called ‘The Marble Palace’, with reported sale figures ranging from AED 425 million to AED 750 million in different coverage; and secondary-market villa sales such as AED 90 million in 2018 and AED 64 million for a 17,800 sq ft six-bedroom villa in 2019. A nine-bedroom villa sale was also reported at AED 148 million.
These examples reflect the upper segment of the Emirates Hills market.

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.
From 2022 to 2025 — +64% on the price per square metre across 1 buildings that traded in both years.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 8 years, from 2016.
* 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.
