What each area is like

DAMAC Hills 2

DAMAC's 55 million sq ft villa and townhouse community off Al Qudra Road in outer Dubailand, first sold as AKOYA Oxygen. About 11,000 homes are complete, with further clusters still handing over.

Who it suits

  • Buyers who want a three- to six-bedroom house at a lower entry price than inner Dubai
  • Families happy to drive for work and school in exchange for space
  • Investors seeking entry-level villa and townhouse rentals

In its favour

  • A 55 million sq ft master community with about 11,000 completed homes, according to DAMAC in September 2026
  • Homes listed from about AED 375,000 on Bayut when checked in November 2026
  • Supermarket, clinic and nursery inside the community, plus a wave pool, equestrian park and other leisure facilities

Worth weighing

  • A long drive from the coast and the main business districts; Bayut puts Dubai Silicon Oasis about 35 minutes away
  • The schools Bayut names, GEMS Metropole and South View, are outside the community

DAMAC Lagoons

DAMAC's Mediterranean-themed lagoon community on Hessa Street beside DAMAC Hills. Townhouse clusters are partly complete; apartment buildings at Lagoon Views and newer clusters hand over between 2027 and 2030.

Who it suits

  • Families wanting a townhouse in a partly finished community they can inspect
  • First-time investors looking for a one-bedroom flat at around AED 1 million to AED 1.5 million
  • Buyers who want resort-style amenities and accept suburban distances

In its favour

  • Partly delivered: several townhouse clusters are listed as ready, so the lagoons and build quality can be seen
  • More than 45 million sq ft master plan next to the established DAMAC Hills
  • Apartments from under AED 1 million alongside three- to five-bedroom townhouses

Worth weighing

  • DAMAC keeps adding apartment phases: Lagoon Views alone has more than a dozen buildings, which caps rental and resale pricing for flats
  • Thirty per cent is typically due on handover under DAMAC's plan, a large single payment
