## What DAMAC Hills 2 is like

> 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

## What Dubailand is like

> The large inland district along Al Ain Road and Emirates Road, home to many villa communities. Sobha Realty's Elwood villas sit here, beside its newer Sobha Sanctuary master community.

Who it suits: Families wanting a large villa with a garden; Buyers who prefer green, low-density communities; Long-term owner-occupiers rather than short-term traders.

In its favour:

- Large villa plots in landscaped, low-density communities
- Direct access to Al Ain Road (E66)
- About 20 minutes to Downtown Dubai from Sobha Elwood (Sobha)


Worth weighing:

- Car-dependent: all of Sobha's published journey times are by road
- Schools, shops and healthcare in the newer communities are mostly still planned
