Emirates Hills is truly the community of the wealthy class in Dubai, with its reputation reaching beyond the borders. Luxury gated communities with villas and mansions are not rare here, but it is the most Exclusive gated community in Dubai.
Have you ever wondered or found a blog that explains in detail but precisely, why Emirates Hills has such a hype everywhere? The money elites of the UAE and adjacent nations swear by its sophistication and class. But, why?
We got interested to dig into the facts and enlist all the reasons here that actually count, leaving the usuals of Dubai luxury living found everywhere. So, let’s get us some information that carries weight:
Emirates Hills is one of the very few Exclusive gated communities in Dubai that takes no interest in turning their exclusive space into a city in itself. Retail outlets and offices you won’t find here. Gentlemen and Ladies coming into the community, attending their professional tasks and leaving for their home outside the gate is not a desirable scene here. Also, No generosity is entertained here to allow the establishment of moderate accommodation choices. Most other gated communities in Dubai include all within its gate now.
People may call it selfish. But, it is a Luxury– Exclusive to the Elites here. Either accept it or keep criticizing in vain!
The APIL Properties team claims with confidence–Even the smallest signature villas and mansions in the Emirates Hills Dubai are bigger in size than most villas in other gated communities.
Developed back in 2003, the sheer size of the villas and mansions here can awe anybody even to this date. The smallest villa here ranges from 12,000 sq to 12,500 sq ft. The massive ones can reach up to the size of 75,000+ sq ft. Emirates Hills is a 12 square kilometre complex housing around 600 villas approximately. Hardly any other luxury gated community can beat the size of these majestic villas and mansions.
Unrestricted property customization is a hallmark of Emirates Hills besides the sheer size of its villas and mansions. Emirates Hills Dubai property for sale look unique in their own individual styling as done by their existing owners. You can, upon possession, fully customize it as per your preference.
There are rare gated communities in Dubai that allow this freedom. Even if from inside you are allowed to impart a touch of personalization through interior decors, the external appearance of the accommodations is all the same there. You cannot customize the exterior in most residential complexes in Dubai.
Emirates Hills gated community has many celebrities, world dignitaries, sports stars and business moguls clustered inside one community. It makes Emirates Hills one of the Exclusive gated communities in Dubai with top-tier safety and security installations for protecting the renowned elites and their families.

The Montgomerie Emirates Hills or the Address Montgomerie is a renowned Golf Resort and hotel standing within Emirates Hills. It features an 18-hole Championship Golf Course. This golf course is designed by the renowned Colin Montgomerie and comes with 14 lakes and 81 bunkers besides 18 holes.

The dense greenery of the rolling green fairways coupled with 14 beautiful lakes add to the serene and tranquil setting here. It looks wonderful. Almost all the villas and mansions enjoy Golf Course View or Lake View. A few residences are situated strategically enough to enjoy a full Golf Course and Lake View both. The neighboring community–The Lakes–with all its serene water bodies enhance the overall charm.

The Emirates Hills location and Lifestyle Amenities of Emirates Hills are not truly the main reasons for this community successfully maintaining its unbeatable status amongst other communities. The lifestyle amenities and accessibility is standard, nothing extraordinary than others.
These two points we are not including in our unbiased assessment of Emirates Hills here.
The reasons we specified here are actually the hallmarks that allow Emirates Hills to compete with the newer gated communities in Dubai and beyond. Arrays of lifestyle amenities you will find at any Dubai-based gated community, but the remarkable sheer size of the villas that are customizable completely with vast greenery around, in a star-studded neighborhood is typical to Emirates Hills only.
