## The Springs at a glance

Established (early-2000s) gated villa/townhouse enclave inside Emaar's Emirates Living, built around man-made lakes. 15 numbered sub-communities (Springs 1-15) of terraced and semi-detached townhouses on quiet, pedestrian-friendly loops with shared pools, pocket parks and lakeside walking trails. Reads as calm, suburban-family rather than high-rise Dubai, and is a well-known mid-priced ("affordable villa") Emaar community. Springs 8 has a community dog park with 24h access.

## Who it suits

- Young and growing families
- End-users wanting a villa/townhouse over an apartment
- Pet owners (community dog park, gardens)
- Professionals working in Marina / Media City / Internet City who want a quieter base nearby
- Buyers needing a car (limited public transport; not ideal for non-drivers)

## Homes and prices

Villas and townhouses only (no apartments) - terraced and semi-detached, mostly 2-4 bedrooms, with private gardens and some private pools; over 4,800 units across 15 sub-communities. Layouts often include a maid's room and study; many have lake or park views and 1-2 covered parking bays.

Villas/townhouses only. Sale ~AED 2,210/sqft community average (2BR ~AED 2,088/sqft, 3BR ~AED 2,236/sqft, 4BR ~AED 2,456/sqft), up ~10% YoY; these per-sqft figures match the cited Bayut sale-prices index for May 2026. Typical asking totals (approximate, NOT on the cited per-sqft page - verify): 2BR ~AED 3.25M-5.25M (avg ~AED 4.1M, corroborated by a second source), 3BR ~AED 3.84M-6.5M, 4BR ~AED 7.4M-12.5M (indicative only; a ~AED 7.9M 4BR average sits near the band's floor, so the low end may be unrepresentative); whole-community avg ~AED 4.5M. Rent figures omitted pending a dedicated rent source. (as of 2026-05.)

**Ownership:** Freehold - non-GCC foreign nationals can buy (part of Emaar's Emirates Living freehold master development)

## Getting around
