Twelve years ago, Dubai Hills Estate was just an idea – an ambitious vision embodying the best of Dubai prosperity and forward-thinking urban living. Today, it is a vision fully realised, replete with a booming real estate market, a thriving residential community, and a championship golf course. Dubai Hills Estate forms an integral part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, which is one of the most ambitious and expansive development projects conceived in the UAE. With its freehold villas and exceptional amenities, this coveted area has already blazed its way to the top of the prime and super-prime property sectors, rivalling longer-established areas like Emirates Hills and Palm Jumeirah.
A Summer of Sales in Dubai Hills Estate
The Dubai prime and super-prime property markets are among the fastest growing in the world, driven by a rapid surge in demand and shortage of supply. In 2023, the emirate reported 431 sales above $10 million, and a further 56 homes above the staggering $25 million mark.
By the first half of 2024, Dubai Hills Estate was the third most popular area in Dubai for sales above $10 million, surpassed only by Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Bay Island – a remarkable feat for such a new area.
Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty proudly transacted a substantial number of these sales, led by an exceptional growing team. Among the significant sales are two exceptional Fairways Vistas villas, priced at AED 61,000,000 and AED 62,500,000 respectively, sold by Associate Director Timothy Ogunniyi. Both residences feature contemporary architectural design, private pools, and breathtaking views of the Downtown skyline.

The real estate offerings in this coveted area are also notably diverse, attracting a wide range of residents and investors. Homes here range from contemporary mid-market apartments to custom-built mansions set in acres of undulating greens.
What really stands out in Dubai Hills Estate compared with more secluded areas like Emirates Hills and Jumeirah Bay Island is the local amenities. Residents here have all they need and more within the estate gates, whether it’s the countless retail options and restaurants in Dubai Hills Mall, or accessing world-class medical care in King’s College Hospital.
