Studio Apartment in Dubai Hills, Dubai Hills Estate

Some places just feel different when you stand right there and take it all in, and this corner villa plot in The Fairways at Dubai Hills Estate is really one of those spots. I remember walking around and hearing almost nothing except a few birds and the faint hum of sprinklers on the park grass nearby. Standing right at the boundary, you can see the way the morning sun comes through the trees—honestly, the light here feels lighter somehow, maybe because there are no towers crowding your sky.

This specific plot sits right at the end of the most private cul de sac, so you do not get that feeling of people passing by all the time. It is a proper corner, too—so you get that breathing room and a bit more space to shape what you want out of a home. Part of what makes this one special is the planning approval. The permissions are already in place. You get the right from Emaar to build your own detached place, complete with basement and driveway, and the development team has sorted the FAR rules out for the next two years. That just takes away all those headaches about permissions and limits. In real terms, you can start making this your own sooner, instead of spending ages on paperwork.

Something I noticed is the way this plot's exit faces east. If that matters to you for Vastu or just if you like a bit of ritual in the morning, it kind of puts a smile on your face. East always feels right for a fresh start. And honestly, having a plot that's good for Vastu thinking also means it is probably easier for resale value later on, so you are not painting yourself into a corner.

Now, the plot is directly on The Fairways park, so if you walk a few meters, you end up on fresh grass, not a tarmac road. I spent a while watching a couple of kids throwing a football in the park, and their mum was just chatting to a neighbour. It just feels easygoing here, and you are close enough to keep an eye on kids without having to go far. The Dubai Hills Golf Course is practically around the corner. Apparently, it is now officially the world's best new golf course, and even if you are not much of a golfer, the club has two proper sit down restaurants. Some evenings, you will even see people on the clubhouse terrace just reading or catching up over a coffee. There is also a gym and a spa, which pretty much covers you for a relaxed Saturday.

Dubai Hills Estate really sits right in between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. So if you are driving, you can actually get to either side of the city in about 15 minutes. For people who worry about being stuck out in the middle of nowhere, this solves that. With Dubai Hills Mall just down the road, you have proper shopping options too. The mall is planned to be about the same size as Mall of the Emirates, so it is not one of those neighbourhood centers with only one café and a supermarket. They are putting in more restaurants and shops along the boulevard as the community develops, so if you like to grab a late coffee or walk on weekends, this area is set up to be lively but not busy.

A lot of people ask about schools. There are already six really good schools nearby, both IB and UK curriculums. You even have metro lines under construction, so as soon as those open, you get a direct line from here to places like Meydan, Jebel Ali, and all the way toward Al Maktoum International Airport. You really get the sense they have thought about how people actually live day to day, with a focus on making things simple.

All in all, The Fairways is one of those communities where you actually see kids biking after sunset and hear neighbours greeting each other. Viewings are pretty flexible. If you want to see what it feels like to stand in this space and imagine your own home, just get in touch. Sometimes, you need to walk a place yourself before deciding, and at LuxuryProperty.com, we are always happy to make that easy. No stress, just a proper look and a chat about what you want.
