What each area is like
Emaar South
Emaar's golf community inside Dubai South, next to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City. Part built and occupied, with new apartment and townhouse phases handing over between 2029 and 2030.
Who it suits
- Buyers wanting an Emaar apartment below central Dubai prices
- Golfers and families who want a townhouse on a course
- Staff of airlines, logistics firms and businesses based in Dubai South and Expo City
- Investors taking a long view on the Al Maktoum airport district
In its favour
- 18-hole championship golf course with clubhouse and driving range
- Partly built: Bayut lists a mix of ready and off-plan homes, so finished phases can be inspected
- 22,700 homes planned, with 25 neighbourhood parks and 53,000 sq m of retail, per Emaar
Worth weighing
- Heavily weighted to apartments: 15,360 of the 22,700 planned homes, with many phases handing over in 2029 and 2030
- About 44 minutes to Dubai International Airport and up to 30 minutes to Downtown Dubai by Emaar's figures
Grand Polo Club & Resort
Emaar's equestrian-themed villa and townhouse community in the south of Dubai, five minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport by Emaar's figures. Entirely off-plan, with first handovers targeted for 2029.
Who it suits
- Families wanting a detached villa from a large listed developer
- Buyers with an interest in riding or polo
- Long-horizon buyers comfortable with a 2029 or later handover
- People whose work is tied to the airport, Expo City or Jebel Ali
In its favour
- Master plan of 5.54 million sq m with 1.59 million sq m of open space
- Polo fields, stables, jumping and dressage arenas and a riding school in the plan
- 5,599 homes planned across 22 clusters, mostly four- and five-bedroom villas
Worth weighing
- Nothing is built yet: the earliest handover targets listed are in 2029, and the club and retail will follow in stages
- Thirty-five minutes to Downtown Dubai by Emaar's own figure, in normal traffic and by car only
