5 bedroom villa in Maple At Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Hills Estate

Some homes just settle you the moment you walk in. That is what happened with this five bedroom villa in Maple at Dubai Hills Estate. As I wandered through it the first time I actually found myself stopping for a second in the main living room just to look at the sunlight coming through the windows. There is something really peaceful about the way it all comes together here. Maple 1 is a bit tucked away so it feels like a proper family community. Honestly you hear the birds more than you hear the city. If you have been around Dubai Hills Estate before you will know that not every spot gets this much greenery and privacy. Here you are smack in the middle of one of Dubai's most popular places but it feels a bit quieter and safer which really seems to suit family life.

The villa has five bedrooms that do not just look good on paper—they actually feel comfortable. I stepped into each one and what I felt most is that you can really see people making them their own. There is space to play for kids and just enough calm for adults. The master bedroom is the kind of place you want to linger in on a lazy weekend. I could easily imagine opening the curtains in the morning and just looking out at the trees for a while. You can get into your own routine here without being boxed in and sometimes that is not easy to find.

If you are wondering about the living room and kitchen — yes they are both generous. The kitchen here actually feels like somewhere people will use for real cooking. You know how some places just have a kitchen you pass through but never actually want to stand in? This is not one of those. There is room for more than one person and I could picture someone making coffee in the morning while the kids rush around getting ready for school. The living area connects out to the garden. Sometimes you might actually want to leave the phone inside and just watch the sunlight move across the grass or keep an eye on the kids playing in the yard. You will notice the way the landscaping blends into the play areas behind the villa. That is a small thing but if you have children you will be glad for it. The green belt is right there So there is always a fresh feel when you open the windows.

One thing I liked was how easy it is to get outside. I watched people walking and jogging on the pathways which link most of the area. Parks are all around and it is not hard to see why people say Maple at Dubai Hills Estate is great for families. Evenings bring kids on bikes or families coming back from the pool and it all just feels like a proper neighborhood.

Now if you are wondering about day to day life, Dubai Hills Mall is maybe eight minutes' drive away. Sometimes it is nice to have decent shopping and food close but not so close that it gets in the way. The medical side is covered too. Kings College Hospital is right here in the area and so is Kings College School. Those everyday things make life easy. The gym and the pool are not far either and they are well kept. I actually saw a few people heading there as I walked over to the house.

Noise is not really a thing here. You will hear more nature than cars. Sometimes you even forget how close you are to the city until you need to head out. Getting to Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina is pretty straightforward. Still when you are back home after a busy day it just feels easy to relax.

So that is how this five bedroom villa at Maple in Dubai Hills Estate actually feels. It is easy to say family friendly but here you will see it and hear it in the everyday stuff. The only way to know for sure is to come look for yourself. I am around if you have questions or if you just want to see how it feels to walk through.
