Al Furjan is one of the few Dubai communities that offers villa and townhouse living with its own metro connection, which is why it has quietly become a default choice for families who work along Sheikh Zayed Road.
Damac Hills is a gated golf community in Dubailand built around the Trump International Golf Club, offering villa and townhouse living at prices well below the Emirates Hills or Jumeirah Golf Estates tier.
Damac Islands is a large off-plan waterfront masterplan in the Dubailand south corridor, themed around tropical island clusters and aimed squarely at buyers who want a lagoon-facing townhouse or villa on a payment plan.
Dubai Creek Harbour is Emaar's waterfront masterplan on the historic creek, offering skyline-facing apartments across the water from Downtown at a meaningful discount to Downtown itself.
Dubai Hills Estate is the city's benchmark family community: an 18-hole golf course, a major mall, real parks and a full complement of schools, positioned mid-way between Downtown and Dubai Marina.
Dubai Islands is Nakheel's five-island redevelopment of the former Deira Islands, and it is currently the single most active launch market in Dubai, with more beachfront supply arriving here than anywhere else in the city.
Grand Polo Club & Resort is Emaar's equestrian-themed masterplan on the Dubai to Al Ain corridor, built around polo fields and stables and aimed at the top end of the villa market.
Jumeirah Golf Estates is Dubai's most credible golf address, home to the Earth and Fire courses and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, with villa living wrapped around both.
Meydan sits closer to Downtown than almost any other new-build district, built around the racecourse and the Dubai Water Canal's upper reaches, and it has become a favoured alternative for buyers who want new stock without Downtown pricing.
Mohammed Bin Rashid City is the vast central district that contains some of Dubai's most expensive residential real estate, including District One and its crystal lagoon, positioned within minutes of Downtown.
Tilal Al Ghaf is Majid Al Futtaim's gated lagoon community in Dubailand, and it is the reference point for the swimmable-lagoon format that the rest of the market has spent the last few years copying.
