What each area is like

Dubai Investments Park

A 2,300 hectare mixed-use park in south-west Dubai, combining industrial and commercial land with residential pockets such as Green Community and newer villa launches in DIP 2, including DAMAC Riverside.

Who it suits

  • Families who want a villa or townhouse near Expo City and Al Maktoum International Airport
  • People working in Jebel Ali, Expo City or the park itself
  • Tenants and buyers looking for lower-priced apartments with a metro link
  • Off-plan buyers comparing DIP 2 launches with Dubai South and Expo City

In its favour

  • Dubai Investment Park metro station on the Route 2020 branch, in DIP 1
  • Expo City Dubai about 10 minutes and Al Maktoum International Airport under 15 minutes by car, on Property Finder's estimates
  • Established residential areas, including the gated, lake-lined Green Community

Worth weighing

  • DIP is first a business and industrial park; check what operates or is planned on neighbouring plots before choosing a home
  • Several DIP 2 launches, including DAMAC Riverside and Grand Polo Club and Resort, are off-plan and will add supply to the same part of the park
Area guide: Dubai Investments Park

Jumeirah Golf Estates

Gated golf community on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road with two championship courses and its own metro station, now being extended by Wasl with a large second phase.

Who it suits

  • Golfers and families wanting a gated villa estate
  • Buyers with budgets above AED 5 million
  • Owner-occupiers planning a long hold
  • Buyers who want a villa near a metro station

In its favour

  • Two championship courses: Earth, host of the DP World Tour Championship, and Fire
  • Gated estate with mature landscaping and a completed first phase to inspect
  • Own station on the Route 2020 metro line

Worth weighing

  • The Next Chapter plans 12,345 new residences, more than 10,000 of them apartments: the low-density character of the original estate will change and construction will continue for years
  • Few shops or restaurants inside the gates; the nearest mall is about 15 minutes away
