DAMAC Hills
Area Guide
A mature golf community in Dubailand combining villas, townhouses and apartments with extensive green space, family amenities and a quieter residential lifestyle.
DAMAC Hills
Community Guide
DAMAC Hills is one of Dubai’s more established golf communities, built around Trump International Golf Club in the Dubailand corridor. The reality on the ground is defined by wide residential streets, extensive landscaping and a strong family population rather than by an off-plan sales narrative.
Roughly a third of the wider community is dedicated to parks, open green space and the golf course. A four-million-square-foot park, Malibu Bay wave pool, schools, retail and healthcare all sit within or directly around the development.
Residential choice is broad. Mid-rise apartment buildings sit alongside townhouse clusters, standalone villas and larger golf-facing mansions, creating a mixed resident profile and a wide range of entry points for buyers.
DAMAC Hills suits residents who value space, greenery and an established neighbourhood and who are comfortable trading a central location for a quieter, lower-density home environment.
Why Buyers Choose
DAMAC Hills
Value for money is often the first reason buyers shortlist DAMAC Hills. Homes generally offer more internal space and larger plots than many comparable Dubai communities at a similar price point.
Space is part of the appeal beyond the individual home. Residential roads are wide, children can cycle between clusters and the streetscape feels noticeably less compressed than denser urban communities.
Security is another important factor for families. Individual clusters operate with dedicated security, which supports the settled and family-focused atmosphere across the wider development.
The community is already established. Parks are actively used, schools are operating and retail and dining are already in place, so buyers are choosing a functioning neighbourhood rather than waiting for core infrastructure.
What It’s Like
to Live Here
DAMAC Hills feels more like an established neighbourhood than a development. The atmosphere is green, quiet and family-oriented, with outdoor space forming a visible part of everyday life.
The central park is the main anchor. Residents use it for dog walking, running, children’s play and informal weekend time, while the Love Lake loop is popular with joggers and couples.
Malibu Bay provides a resort-style beach and wave-pool experience, while Trump International Golf Club acts as another major social focus for both golfers and residents using the restaurants and clubhouse.
The main trade-off is location. Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina are both roughly 25 to 30 minutes away, and there is no metro station inside the community. Most residents rely on private cars.
Day-to-Day Life
in DAMAC Hills
Mornings often begin outdoors. Joggers use the Love Lake route, families spend time in the open grass areas and the upgraded community gym provides indoor training together with sauna and steam facilities.
Groceries are practical, with Spinneys, VIVA and Carrefour available within or close to the community. DAMAC Mall adds more than 30 retail units and a growing selection of dining options.
School runs are relatively simple for many families. Jebel Ali School is around five minutes away and South View School around ten minutes, depending on the exact cluster.
Evenings often revolve around the golf club, garden time or local dining. Weekends are equally self-contained, with Malibu Bay, the park, sports facilities and community events all available without a long journey.
Property Types
& Layouts
DAMAC Hills has one of the broadest housing mixes within a single Dubai community. Studios through three-bedroom apartments serve singles, couples and investors, while townhouses typically offer two to four bedrooms with private gardens.
Standalone villas range from family-focused three-bedroom homes to large nine-bedroom golf properties. A smaller number of substantial mansions occupy the premium golf-facing plots.
Space per dirham is a consistent advantage across the market, but exact cluster selection matters. A golf-facing villa can feel and price very differently from a townhouse positioned near DAMAC Mall.
The resident profile is family weighted, and rental demand is strongest in villas and townhouses where longer tenancies can create more stable income than higher-turnover apartment communities.
Schools, Amenities
& Connectivity
Schools
Jebel Ali School is around five minutes away, while South View School and GEMS Metropole School are also within practical driving distance.
Retail & grocery
DAMAC Mall, Spinneys, VIVA and Carrefour cover daily shopping and casual dining needs within or close to the community.
Healthcare
Medcare Medical Centre, Saudi German Clinic and local pharmacies support everyday healthcare, with larger hospitals in nearby districts.
Sports & fitness
Golf, Malibu Bay, community pools, tennis, basketball, football, volleyball, padel and a 10-kilometre jogging and cycling route provide a broad sports offering.
Road access
Umm Suqeim Road, Al Qudra Road and Emirates Road provide the primary road connections to the rest of Dubai.
Public transport
There is no metro station inside the community. Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Internet City stations are roughly 20 to 25 minutes away by car.
What to Know
Before Buying
Position has a major effect on pricing. Golf-facing and park-adjacent homes carry a premium because those views are limited in supply and consistently attract stronger demand.
Cluster selection should be treated as an early decision rather than a final detail. Living near the golf club feels different from the townhouse areas around DAMAC Mall and different again from quieter villa positions near the park perimeter.
Multiple viewings are worthwhile because buyers often change their shortlist after experiencing a second or third cluster. The community is too varied to judge from one property alone.
Buyers should also test the real commute. The distance to central Dubai is manageable for many residents, but it becomes significant when repeated every working day.
Who Should Live Here
DAMAC Hills is especially well suited to families relocating to Dubai who want schools, parks, security and community facilities already in place.
Buyers who value space inside the home, on the street and across the surrounding green areas often find the trade-off with location worthwhile. Couples planning to stay in Dubai longer term can also benefit from the more settled residential environment.
Investors focused on family rental demand may also find the community attractive because villa and townhouse tenants tend to stay longer than tenants in high-turnover apartment districts.
The area is less suitable for buyers who need daily metro access, prefer central urban energy or have a fixed commute to DIFC or Business Bay that makes a 25 to 30 minute drive inconvenient.
Investment Outlook &
Future Growth
DAMAC Hills is already a mature community, so its investment case is less about waiting for infrastructure and more about the strength of an existing residential market.
Family-oriented communities with genuine outdoor space remain in strong demand across Dubai, and DAMAC Hills occupies a competitive position between lifestyle quality and relative price accessibility.
Golf-front homes remain naturally limited in supply, which supports premium pricing for the best positions. Broader villa and townhouse demand is also supported by families seeking established neighbourhoods rather than newly launched master communities.
From the Lexden Homes perspective, the key strength is clarity. DAMAC Hills already has a defined identity, mature infrastructure and a settled resident base, allowing buyers to evaluate what exists today rather than relying on future promises.
