The Hills is a district of Dubai, 1.1 km from Sobha Realty Metro Station.
The Hills is a low-rise residential and hotel enclave by Emaar within the Emirates Living cluster in Dubai. Launched in 2013 and completed in 2019, the scheme sits alongside the Emirates Golf Club and is accessed from Sheikh Zayed Road. The neighbourhood combines two residential towers and two hotel/serviced-apartment buildings set around landscaped areas and pools, with direct views over the golf greens.
The Hills is a small, planned community developed by Emaar as part of the wider Emirates Living group that also includes The Greens, The Springs, The Meadows and The Lakes. The masterplan comprises four low-rise towers: two residential blocks and two hotel/serviced-apartment buildings. The development overlooks the Emirates Golf Club and occupies a site at approximately 25.078816° N, 55.157934° E. Primary vehicular access is via Sheikh Zayed Road, placing The Hills between Dubai Marina and central Dubai corridors.
Public transport and road links are convenient for many central and coastal destinations. The nearest metro access is on the Dubai Metro Red Line (station code R36), roughly 1.06 km from the development, a distance considered walkable. Key Dubai destinations are within the following approximate distances:
Typical driving times include roughly 15 minutes to Dubai Mall, 7 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 12 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 10 minutes to The Walk JBR. Airport transfers take approximately 37 minutes to DXB and 31 minutes to Al Maktoum (DWC), depending on traffic.
The Hills contains two residential towers and two hotel-type buildings. The residential blocks, known as Vida Residence towers, include a 15-storey and a 12-storey tower offering one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. The two hospitality buildings are Vida Emirates Hills, a hotel, and Vida Residence The Hills, which offers serviced apartments. Across the two residential towers there are 426 apartments in total.
On-site resident amenities include multiple pools: an adult pool, a separate lap pool for exercise, a Jacuzzi and a children’s pool with play area. Outdoor leisure facilities also feature sun beds and enclosed cabanas. Landscaping and orientation provide many apartments with direct views across the greens of the Emirates Golf Club, which occupies some 13,375 square metres and hosts two 18-hole championship courses.
The project was designed with an emphasis on a green lifestyle and includes measures aimed at energy and water efficiency as part of the Emirates Living ethos. Early concept designs and visualisations may differ from realised details following development-stage revisions.
The Hills is positioned for residents seeking a compact, low-rise neighbourhood with golf-course outlooks and a hotel-style hospitality component. The development is suited to young couples and small families. The apartment mix of one- to three-bedroom units, together with serviced apartments, suits owner-occupiers, short- to medium-term residents and guests who prioritise proximity to Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and coastal leisure areas.
Named schools are located in the wider vicinity. The neighbourhood is also convenient for leisure and business nodes such as Dubai Marina, Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City.
There are 426 apartments across the two residential towers in The Hills.
The scheme was launched in 2013 and completed in 2019.
The Hills comprises two residential towers, known as the Vida Residence towers, and two hotel/serviced-apartment buildings: Vida Emirates Hills and Vida Residence The Hills.
The nearest Dubai Metro station on the Red Line, code R36, is approximately 1.06 km away and is considered walkable. Sheikh Zayed Road provides primary vehicular access to the wider city.
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 0% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2022 to 2025 — +50% on the price per square metre across 3 buildings that traded in both years.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 13 years, from 2014.
* 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.
