Based on 6 community and 11 building reviews
Damac Hills is a gated community located along Al Qudra Road (D63) in Dubailand. It was developed by DAMAC Properties around the Trump International Golf Club, creating green surroundings throughout the community.
Life here moves at a slower pace than central Dubai. You get mature landscaping, wide internal roads, and a calm residential setting that feels noticeably more private because of the security-controlled entrances.
Damac Hills works well for families who want more space, greenery, and pet-friendly parks inside a secure gated community. It also appeals to professionals and couples who prefer the apartment clusters for a quieter lifestyle and a more accessible entry point. Investors keep it on their radar too, thanks to steady rental demand from smaller households and golf enthusiasts.
You'll need a car here. There is no metro on the doorstep, and drives to Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina generally take around 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.
Daily life centers on the Trump International Golf Club and the wider community park. Residents have Malibu Bay wave pool, a skate park, dog park, stables, sports courts, and a retail strip with a Carrefour, cafes, and clinics all inside the development.
Al Qudra Road and Hessa Street connect the community to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611). Damac Lagoons, Dubai Sports City, Arabian Ranches, and Town Square are all about 10 to 20 minutes away by car, which gives you a wider choice of schools, malls, and services.
Prices of properties for sale in Damac Hills range from AED 390K to AED 39.46M, with a median of AED 1.89M. A total of 1,407 listings are available. 745 properties have been listed for sale in Damac Hills over the past 30 days. Across all listings, 85% are verified and 73% are listed by SuperAgents.

DAMAC Hills has a solid mix of French, British, American, and IB curriculum schools around it, with British options the most common in this part of Dubai. Average annual fees across nearby options land in the AED 45,000–75,000 range, and families can choose from more than a dozen schools inside a 5 km radius.
Lycée Français International, about 1.4 km away, is a French curriculum school certified by the French Ministry of Education, currently teaching over 3,200 students across two campuses in Dubai. This branch is part of the school's newer Mudon campus, with fees ranging from AED 65,000 to 80,000.
Dubai International Academy in Town Square, about 1.9 km away, opened in August 2026 with Pre-K through Grade 8 on a 330,000-square-foot campus that includes three swimming pools and dedicated science, art, and design technology labs. Its fees range from AED 68,000 to 120,000.
Ranches Primary School follows the English National Curriculum and has a Good KHDA rating. Fees sit in the AED 50,000–62,000 range, and the school is under a ten-minute drive from DAMAC Hills. That makes it a practical option for younger children, since it focuses on Foundation Stage through Year 6.
Fairgreen International School offers the IB curriculum from early years through diploma and holds a Very Good KHDA rating. Fees run roughly AED 55,000 to AED 92,000. It sits in The Sustainable City, about a ten-minute drive away, and is known for its sustainability-focused campus.
Blossom Damac Hills Nursery sits inside the community and takes children from around 45 days to 4 years. Jebel Ali Village Nursery is another option, about a ten-minute drive away in Motor City, and covers a similar age range.

Disappointing Living Experience at DAMAC Hills Living in DAMAC Hills has been a deeply disappointing experience, especially considering the high community fees and the premium lifestyle the development claims to offer. 1. Poor management and lack of accountability The community management appears to show very little consideration for residents. Complaints about ongoing issues are frequently ignored or left unresolved, with little communication, accountability, or meaningful action. Residents should not have to repeatedly chase management to address basic living conditions. 2. Excessive community fees The community fees are extremely high, yet the level of service and maintenance does not seem to justify the cost. Residents are paying a premium but are not receiving the quality of living or management they should reasonably expect in return. 3. Constant construction noise Ongoing construction significantly affects the quality of life in the community. Noise from construction sites can be extremely disruptive, including during early and late hours. It is difficult to enjoy your own home when construction noise and disturbances are a persistent issue. 4. Poor construction and maintenance quality The quality of construction and infrastructure is a major concern. Recurring problems include air-conditioning breakdowns, faulty water heaters, and water leaks through walls after rain. These are not minor inconveniences when they repeatedly disrupt daily life and require residents to spend time chasing repairs. 5. Parking problems and additional costs Parking is another major frustration. Paid parking in the community, combined with insufficient parking availability, creates unnecessary inconvenience for residents and visitors. 6. Limited shopping and everyday convenience The availability of shops and essential services is limited. Even visiting the community mall can be frustrating due to parking difficulties. For a development of this size and price point, basic convenience should be much better. Overall, DAMAC Hills does not deliver the standard of living its pricing and marketing suggest. High community fees, persistent construction disturbances, recurring maintenance problems, parking difficulties, and an unresponsive management experience make living here far less comfortable than expected. The biggest issue is the apparent lack of accountability. Residents pay substantial amounts to live in this community, yet many basic problems remain unresolved. DAMAC needs to take residents’ complaints seriously, improve construction and maintenance standards, address parking and noise issues, and provide a level of management that reflects the fees being charged. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage prospective tenants and buyers to investigate these issues carefully before committing to a property in DAMAC Hills.

Damac Hills feels like a completely different side of Dubai compared with most of the city. It’s very green, calm, and feels a lot more family‑centric and pet‑friendly than the busier urban areas. The community is well kept, security feels solid, and there’s a real effort put into maintenance and standard of life around you. It’s definitely a car‑dependent place. There’s no metro access nearby, so commuting to central areas easily takes 30 to 40 minutes on most days, and getting around without a car isn’t very realistic. The villas and townhouses are spacious, many with golf or landscaped views, which makes the whole area feel open and relaxed. Overall, Damac Hills gives off a calm, green, residential vibe that feels very different from the busier parts of Dubai.

Nice, quiet building with great access to Damac Hills parks and amenities. The apartments are reasonably priced, but the daily commute to central Dubai is long and Hessa Street traffic can be tough.

Golf Vita A
I've been living in Golf Vita for nearly a year now, and every time I step inside, I can't help but appreciate the fact that it's my home. This place truly has it all - there's a mall, cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, parks, barbecue spots, stables, a golf course, and it's incredibly pet and kid-friendly. It feels like a small city in itself. The balconies offer ample space, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. In our one-bedroom apartment, we're spoiled with a roomy wardrobe and a hotel-like bathroom complete with a shower. The kitchen is a tad small, especially if you have a lot of appliances, but it gets the job done. The neighborhood is filled with friendly people, and there's always something fun happening in the community. The only drawback is the maintenance costs, which can be a bit steep, but we've found ways to manage them. If you enjoy having friends over, there's no need to worry about parking, as there's a designated lot for guests. All in all, I'd highly recommend this community, especially for families. It's been a great experience living here.

Damac Hills spans roughly 42 million square feet as a gated master community by DAMAC Properties, with villas, townhouses, mid-rise apartment towers, and hotel apartments arranged around the Trump International Golf Club Dubai. The overall mix leans family-first. Apartment clusters tend to face the fairways, while standalone villa neighborhoods sit along landscaped streets. Pricing sits below Dubai Hills Estate and above Damac Hills 2 and Town Square for comparable sizes.
Damac Hills apartments range from compact studios to three-bedroom layouts. Most stock is spread across Carson, Artesia, Golf Vita, Golf Gate, Loreto, and more.
If you're looking at smaller, more rental-focused stock, Carson and Golf Vita are popular for finding Damac Hills apartments for rent. Carson's three towers (A, B, and C) rise 33 floors and include studios for rent in Damac Hills from around 400 sq ft up to two-bedroom homes near 1,350 sq ft. Golf Vita A leans into the rental market with efficient one-bedroom layouts around 430 to 480 sq ft.
For more variety, Artesia and Loreto show the middle of the market well. Artesia (A through D) mixes hotel apartments and residential studios and one- to three-bedroom units, with sizes stretching from about 320 sq ft for studios to nearly 1,660 sq ft for 3-bedroom apartments for rent in Damac Hills. Loreto's six low-rise blocks and Jasmine A and B offer studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments with park or golf-facing balconies, typically 400 to 950 sq ft.
At the newer end, Golf Greens 1 and 2, still off-plan, bring one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments for sale in Damac Hills and podium duplexes ranging from around 640 sq ft to nearly 5,000 sq ft.
Across the apartment clusters, shared amenities include temperature-controlled pools, gyms, landscaped gardens, kids' play areas, covered parking, and direct access to the golf course and Carrefour at the community center. Apartment pricing here undercuts Dubai Hills Estate and sits above Town Square for similar sizes.
Damac Hills villas come in three- to seven-bedroom layouts across several clusters. For the core family segment, Rockwood, Rochester, Trinity, Pelham, Phoenix, and Calero are the main names to know. These three-bedroom homes usually sit on plots roughly 2,700 to 3,600 sq ft, with built-up areas around 2,000 to 2,700 sq ft.
Move up in size, and Silver Springs, Flora, and Queens Meadow start to make more sense. Four- and five-bedroom villas here stretch from about 3,200 sq ft up to 6,900 sq ft, with plots reaching 7,600 sq ft. If you want golf frontage or a larger standalone setup, The Turf, The Field, Longview, and Veneto offer five- to seven-bedroom luxury villas with built-up areas from roughly 3,500 sq ft to over 11,300 sq ft.
At the top of the market, Trump Estates and Bel Air front the golf course with four- to seven-bedroom villas. Cavalli Estates and Autograph Collection push further into mansion territory, with five to seven bedrooms on plots from 8,700 sq ft to over 17,900 sq ft and built-up areas up to 18,491 sq ft.
Most homes include private gardens, maid's rooms, driver's rooms in larger types, and access to Malibu Bay, parks, the skate park, and stables. Villa pricing tracks below Dubai Hills Estate for comparable plots and above Damac Hills 2 by a meaningful margin.
Explore:
Damac Hills townhouses are concentrated in Park Residences 1 and 4, Park Residence, Ivory by DAMAC, and selected sub-plots within Rochester, Trinity, and Silver Springs. Three- and four-bedroom homes make up most of the market. Plot sizes run from roughly 1,485 sq ft in the Park Residences up to 2,955 sq ft, while built-up areas range from about 1,776 sq ft to 2,915 sq ft.
Ivory by DAMAC is one of the newer options, with three- and four-bedroom layouts on plots near 1,356 sq ft designed for smaller families.
At the larger end, corner and single-row townhouses in Park Residence 1 reach five- and six-bedroom configurations on plots over 3,300 sq ft.
Kitchens are usually closed or semi-open, most homes include a maid's room and private garden, and residents share community pools, landscaped parks, and gated security. Townhouse pricing here runs above Damac Hills 2 for comparable bedroom counts and slightly below Dubai Hills Estate townhouses.
Explore:
Hotel apartments in Damac Hills sit mainly in Artesia and Golf Veduta A and B. Studios start near 320 sq ft, one-bedroom units run 550 to 950 sq ft, and two- and three-bedroom hotel apartments reach up to 2,085 sq ft in Golf Veduta A.
These units are usually furnished and come with hotel-style bathrooms, integrated kitchens, and balconies facing the golf course or community pool. Buildings include concierge service, housekeeping options, temperature-controlled pools, gyms, and 24-hour security. Hotel apartment pricing in Damac Hills sits well below Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina hotel apartments and appeals to investors focused on short-stay yield.
Duplex layouts appear across the community, especially in Loreto 3 A, Loreto 1 A, Golf Horizon B, Golf Promenade 3A, and the podium levels of Golf Greens 1. Two- and three-bedroom duplexes usually span 1,850 to 2,850 sq ft and come with high ceilings, dual balconies, and either park or golf views.
Golf Greens 1 Podium duplexes run larger, with two- and three-bedroom layouts near 2,180 to 4,948 sq ft. These homes share the same building amenities as the surrounding apartments and are priced above single-level units with the same bedroom count.
Damac Hills suits families, pet owners, and buyers who want space, greenery, and a quiet gated setting around the Trump International Golf Club. It's less convenient if you need the metro at your doorstep or want a short commute to central Dubai, since the community sits along Al Qudra Road and depends on a car, with drives to Downtown or Marina running roughly 25 to 35 minutes off-peak and longer at rush hour.
Damac Hills has an established rental market, with local agents citing gross yields around 6 to 8% on apartments and studios and one-bedroom units at the higher end. Villa entry prices start near AED 3M in clusters like Rockwood and Rochester, while premium plots in The Field, Trump Estates, and Cavalli Estates push well above AED 10M, giving a wide spread of price points.
Returns vary a lot by building, layout, view, and service charges, so you'll want to compare specific listings and clusters before committing. This is not financial advice.
Damac Hills is a designated freehold community, so residents and overseas buyers can own apartments, townhouses, and villas outright, with title deeds issued by the Dubai Land Department. Ownership includes the right to sell, lease, or pass the property on through inheritance under UAE law.
Damac Hills sits on Al Qudra Road next to the Trump International Golf Club, with mature landscaping, Carrefour, schools, and completed apartment towers like Carson, Artesia, and Golf Vita. Damac Hills 2 lies further out toward Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road, is more affordable, and is built around Malibu Beach wave pool and sports clusters rather than a championship golf course.
Damac Hills usually appeals more to buyers who want an established golf-community lifestyle closer to the city, while Damac Hills 2 tends to suit families looking for larger homes and lower entry prices in a still-maturing area.
Damac Hills has no metro station inside the community, so most residents drive and rely on Al Qudra Road and Hessa Street to reach Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Sheikh Zayed Road. RTA feeder buses stop at points like Damac Hills Carrefour, Golf Vista A, and Golf Promenade 5A, connecting to Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Internet City metro stations, both roughly a 15 to 20-minute drive away.
Families often look first at Rochester, Pelham, Trinity, and Topanga in The Park Villas, where three and four-bedroom townhouses back onto parks and sit close to Malibu Bay and the community pool.
For larger households, Silver Springs, The Field, and Trump Estates offer standalone villas with private gardens, while apartment families usually focus on Golf Vita and Golf Panorama because they're close to Carrefour, Jebel Ali School, and the main park network.
Damac Hills is pet-friendly across most buildings and clusters, with a dedicated dog park, wide walking paths, and generous green space that residents highlight in reviews.
Damac Hills is the current name for the community that Damac Properties originally launched as Akoya by Damac, rebranded once the Trump International Golf Club opened at its center. The name change reflected the shift toward a golf-anchored master community, and older listings, title deeds, and cluster names like Akoya Park still reference the original branding.
