## Damac Hills at a glance

Damac Hills (launched in 2013 as Akoya by DAMAC, with handovers following in subsequent years) is a single-developer, gated golf community built around the 18-hole Trump International Golf Club Dubai course and clubhouse. It is suburban and outdoor-led rather than urban: low and mid-rise apartment clusters with golf-facing names (Golf Gate, Golf Vista, Golf Panorama, Golf Promenade, Golf Terrace, Golf Greens, Carson, Artesia, DAMAC District) ring the fairways, while villa and townhouse enclaves (The Park Villas, Trump Estates, Silver Springs, Park Residences, Greenwoods, the Autograph Collection) sit further out with private gardens. The community has its own retail spine, Damac Mall and the Akoya Drive dining strip, plus Malibu Bay wave pool, a skate park, a petting farm and stables with horse riding. It is fully car-dependent (no rail link), sitting on Al Qudra Road (D63) and Hessa Street (D61) well south of Sheikh Zayed Road.

## Who it suits

- Families with children and pets wanting space, private gardens and outdoor living over a central-Dubai address, with golf-course frontage available in the golf-facing clusters and Trump Estates
- End-users and investors who want a mostly delivered community with an active rental market, noting DAMAC continues to launch new off-plan phases within Damac Hills
- Golf enthusiasts and buyers prioritising outdoor lifestyle (park, wave pool, stables, sports courts) over walkable urban retail
- Buyers comfortable with a car-dependent commute of roughly 20-35 minutes to central Dubai destinations, trading commute time for space and a lower-density setting

## Homes and prices

Mostly low and mid-rise apartments, studio to 3-bedroom, across golf-facing clusters (Golf Gate, Golf Vista, Golf Panorama, Golf Promenade, Golf Terrace, Golf Greens, Carson, Artesia, DAMAC District, Jasmine). Villas (3 to 7-bedroom, including large custom-scale Trump Estates mansions) and townhouses (3 to 4-bedroom) sit in enclaves such as The Park Villas, Silver Springs, Park Residences, Greenwoods and the smaller Autograph Collection. Some residential plots also trade for self-build.

Bayut apartment sale price index (not community-wide): AED 1,559/sqft as of June 2026, down 0.86% year-on-year (AED 1,573/sqft a year earlier, AED 1,441/sqft two years earlier). This index covers apartments only; Damac Hills is also a villa-led community and villa pricing was not independently verified for this record, so treat the apartment trend as one segment, not the whole market (a human reviewer should add a villa sale-index source before generalising this figure). Live Bayut asking listings retrieved 2026-07-29, a one-day non-reproducible snapshot: 1BR apartments roughly AED 700k-1.5M; 2BR apartments roughly AED 1.4M-3.0M; townhouses (3-4BR) roughly AED 2.95M-6.2M. Rent averages (PropertyFinder area insights, retrieved 2026-07-29): studio AED 53,000/yr; 1BR AED 83,000/yr; 2BR AED 148,000/yr; 3BR AED 182,000/yr. PropertyFinder does not publish 4BR or 5BR rent averages for this community; none is included here pending a sourced figure. (as of 2026-06.)

**Ownership:** Freehold zone. Non-GCC foreign buyers can hold full title (buy, sell, lease, mortgage, inherit). Damac Hills sits within Dubailand. Sector-level designation under Regulation No. (3) of 2006 was not verified for this specific record, so freehold status here is confirmed via the Dubai Land Department generally rather than the original decree text. Designation is plot-specific, verify the individual title with DLD before purchase.

## Getting around

No metro or tram inside the community; it is car-dependent by design, sitting on Al Qudra Road (D63) and Hessa Street (D61) in Dubailand. The nearest Red Line stations, Dubai Internet City and Mall of the Emirates, are around 20-25 minutes' drive per the a Dubai property portal area guide. Downtown Dubai is roughly 25 minutes' drive per the same source. Drive times to Dubai Marina and DIFC were not confirmed against a cited source, so treat any estimate for those as approximate rather than sourced. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is commonly cited at roughly 30-35 minutes and Al Maktoum International Airport at roughly 20-25 minutes across the area guides in sources, though neither figure is tied to one specific citation.

## Lifestyle

Centred on the 18-hole Trump International Golf Club Dubai (course plus clubhouse dining) and Damac Hills Park with jogging tracks and playgrounds. Malibu Bay, the community's wave pool and beach-style amenity, sits alongside a skate park, a petting farm and stables offering horse-riding lessons, a dog park and a fishing lake, plus tennis, football, cricket and volleyball facilities. Retail and dining run through Damac Mall (40 retail and 10 F&B outlets per Provident Estate) and the Akoya Drive strip, which includes Prato and FireLake Grill House among other restaurants. Carrefour, Spinneys and Viva cover daily grocery needs. Saudi German Clinic (Artesia Tower B) provides in-community healthcare; other clinics are a short drive away in neighbouring areas. Radisson Dubai Damac Hills and Park Inn by Radisson are the on-site hotels.
