DAMAC Hills sits roughly 25 km south of Downtown Dubai, tucked between Motor City and Dubai Sports City. It's a self-contained, low-rise suburb built around a championship golf course, designed by Tiger Woods. The developer, DAMAC Properties, positioned it as an alternative to the villa enclaves of Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Golf Estates—more accessible on price, still family-focused, but with a younger demographic and more apartments in the mix.
The Trump International Golf Club (now rebranded but still called that by locals) anchors the entire development. Even if you don't play, the course sets the visual tone: manicured greens, water features, and low-density housing. Beyond golf, you'll find a community pool complex, skate park, cricket pitch, football fields, and a climbing wall. Retail and F&B are clustered in a central hub along the internal boulevard. It's more suburban park than urban village—wide roads, structured landscaping, very little street life after dark.
Young families dominate, many of them expats on mid-tier packages who want a villa or townhouse but can't stretch to Arabian Ranches rents. You'll also see a cohort of investors who bought off-plan during launch phases and now rent to similar tenants. Single professionals are rare unless they're in a studio or one-bed apartment purely for affordability. Schools within a 3 km radius include GEMS Metropole, Jebel Ali School, and Ranches Primary—solid mid-market choices that keep the morning school run under 10 minutes.
DAMAC Hills leans heavily on mid-rise apartment blocks (four to eight storeys) in clusters like Acacia, Zinnia, and Maple. These offer studios through three-beds, typically 450–1,400 sqft. Townhouses—three- and four-bedroom layouts in Golf Terrace, Park Heights, and similar precincts—are the volume product for families. Standalone villas exist but are less common and pricier. Build quality varies by phase; earlier blocks have minor finishing issues, while newer phases (post-2020) show better specs and layouts.
Current platform data shows limited resale inventory, with one studio in Carson B listed at AED 750k (around 1,843 AED/sqft). That price point reflects tighter supply rather than a market premium—comparable units in busier phases typically list closer to 1,600–1,700 AED/sqft. Off-plan releases have slowed as the master plan nears completion.
Penthouses in Damac Hills represent the top tier of apartment living — full-floor or duplex layouts at the summit of Dubai's best-known towers, often with private terraces, plunge pools and uninterrupted skyline or sea views.
Penthouse buyers in Damac Hills are paying for the floor plate, the views and the scarcity. Most units include 4+ bedrooms, multiple living spaces, private elevator access in some buildings, and outdoor terraces sized comparable to mid-tier apartments.
All listings in Damac Hills on Disruptive Real Estate are sourced directly from licensed brokerages and verified through the RERA permit system (ORN 1167819).

Penthouse pricing per sqft sits at a meaningful premium to standard inventory in the same building. Liquidity is thinner — there are fewer buyers at the ticket size — but trophy assets in landmark towers tend to appreciate well in up-cycles and hold value through corrections.
Acacia and Maple: First-wave apartment buildings. Proximity to the golf clubhouse and main retail spine. Older fit-out, but rents hold steady because of location.
Park Heights and Golf Terrace: Townhouse rows with small private gardens. Golf Terrace backs onto fairways, which commands a 10–15 per cent rent premium.
Carson: Newer mid-rise apartments. Carson B units are more compact—ideal for singles or couples. Finishing is a step up from Acacia.
Five schools sit within a 3 km radius, mostly British and IB curriculum. GEMS Metropole (Motor City) and Dwight School are the most popular among residents. Spinneys operates two branches inside the community, supplemented by Geant and smaller grocers in Motor City. For mall shopping, you'll drive to Motor City's Autodrome retail strip or out to Ibn Battuta Mall (15 minutes).
Public transport is thin. No Metro station within walking distance; the nearest is Mall of the Emirates or Ibn Battuta, both requiring a car or taxi. Most households own at least one vehicle. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) is the main artery—15 minutes to Marina in light traffic, 30–40 during peak.
Gross rental yields sit in the 6.5–7.5 per cent range for apartments, slightly lower (5.5–6.5 per cent) for townhouses. That's above Dubai's villa-community average but below emerging areas like Dubailand. Capital appreciation has been modest—values rose roughly 8–12 per cent since 2020, trailing Marina or Business Bay. The trade-off is stable tenant demand and lower void periods. Service charges run 8–12 AED/sqft for apartments, 15–20 AED/sqft for villas, which clips net yields.
If you're an owner-occupier family, prioritise townhouses in Golf Terrace or Park Heights—direct golf or park views add livability without much cost premium. Investors should focus on two-bed apartments in Acacia or Maple: highest liquidity, fastest re-letting. Avoid ground-floor units near main roads (noise, privacy). For studios, Carson layouts are more functional than older Zinnia plans.
Check handover snags carefully if buying resale from early phases—minor plumbing and AC issues were common. Newer phases (post-2019) have fewer defects.
