Part built and occupied, with new apartment and townhouse phases handing over between 2029 and 2030. Facts last verified 12 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | master community | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Master developer | [Emaar Properties](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/emaar) | | Also known as | Emaar South Dubai, Expo Golf Villas, Emaar South Golf Community | | Developments covered | 13 | ## Overview Emaar South is [Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/emaar)'s master community within the wider [Dubai South](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-south) district, laid out around an 18-hole golf course. Emaar's figures are 22,700 homes in total, of which 15,360 are apartments, with 25 neighbourhood parks and 53,000 sq m of retail and dining space. It is a mixed-age community. Bayut's area guide describes a mix of ready and off-plan homes, with Urbana III among the completed phases, and calls it a community that is still developing. Emaar's website lists 30 phases in all, from early ones such as Urbana, Golf Views, Golf Links and the Expo Golf Villas to the recent mid-rise apartment buildings and townhouses along the golf course: Golf Hills, Golf Vale, Golf Fields, Vista Ridge, Grove Ridge and, most recently, Golf Trails. Each phase is sold as a separate development. Emaar quotes a community starting price of AED 1.06 million. On 12 November 2026 the phases with published availability started between AED 1.9 million and AED 4.7 million, mostly for two- and three-bedroom homes. Property Finder lists handover targets of the third quarter of 2029 for Golf Hills and Vista Ridge and October 2030 for Golf Trails. By Emaar's figures the drive is 25 to 30 minutes to Downtown Dubai, about 44 minutes to Dubai International Airport and 15 to 20 minutes to the Al Maktoum International Airport terminal. Access is by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Expo Road. Expo City and its metro station are the nearest rail connection, a drive away rather than a walk. ## 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 ## Highlights - 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 - Next to Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport - Lower entry prices than Emaar's central communities ## Considerations - 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 - Demand depends on the growth of Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai South employment, which will take years - No metro station in the community; the nearest is at Expo City, and Bayut notes few clinics and limited everyday services so far - Thirty phases mean a steady flow of resale and new stock competing for the same tenants and buyers - Dubai's off-plan market softened in 2026; recent buyers should not assume a quick resale ## Drive times - Al Maktoum International Airport: about 20 minutes - Downtown Dubai: about 30 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 44 minutes ## Developments in Emaar South - [Golf Acres](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-acres): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 4,727,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Dale](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-dale): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 2,701,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Point](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-point): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 3,601,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Greenspoint](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/greenspoint): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; under construction; handover Q1 2029; from AED 3,360,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Verge](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-verge): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; under construction; handover Q2 2029; from AED 2,635,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Hills](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-hills): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2029; from AED 1,060,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Meadow](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-meadow): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2029; from AED 3,138,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Grove Ridge](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/grove-ridge): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; launched; handover Q3 2029; from AED 2,626,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Vista Ridge](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/vista-ridge): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; launched; handover Q3 2029; from AED 2,614,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Fields](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-fields): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; launched; handover Q1 2030; from AED 1,260,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Vale](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-vale): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; launched; handover Q1 2030; from AED 1,987,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Trails](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-trails): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; launched; handover Q4 2030; from AED 1,906,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Golf Hills 2](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south/golf-hills-2): Emaar Properties; Emaar South, Dubai; launched; from AED 3,259,888 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [Dubai South](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-south) - [Expo City Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/expo-city) - [The Heights Country Club & Wellness](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/the-heights-country-club) - [Grand Polo Club & Resort](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/grand-polo-club-and-resort) - [Downtown Jebel Ali](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/downtown-jebel-ali) ## Questions and answers ### Where is Emaar South?
