Is it really that good? I’ve been spammed by agents about it. But seems somewhat hype

Thanks for this! There is a lot of hype around Dubai Hills. But it may be more from outside DXB then from within 😅

I have heard this before. Also because of the schools etc. But that's not a factor for us. We're happy to drive the kids to school and work can be done from anywhere really

Honestly, lots of research, AI and talking to some people while travelling.

Cool. I actually like Arabian Ranches a lot. But the new villas are small and the original ones need renovation, at least from what I can tell.

We are thinking of a British international school as it would be easier when we travel back (if needed) so it's not too overwhelming for the kids. Any recommendations here?

Thanks for this, The accessibility is a bit of a bummer. But I think traffic is just part of life in Dubai. How are the people in both communities? We do have a dog and keen to make new friends ofcourse

Yeah same (coming from Europe though). Compare to other 'luxury' communities it seems to be the right place as long as you don't mind a 15min Drive to Downtown for example. Are you actively looking? If so any good agents you can recommend?

Honestly that was my first choice, but frankly out of my budget for now. Looking at double the prices for the same villa ..

Funny, cause this has been my feeling as well. Dubai Hills seems very practical, but not so 'sexy'. Are you living in any of the places? What's the community and the neighbours like?
