Montgomerie Golf Club
Located 5 minutes away in Emirates Hills, this 9-hole course named after golfer Colin Montgomerie adjoins a five-star hotel popular for staycations and visiting guests.
The Meadows is a residential villa community developed by Emaar Properties, forming part of the wider Emirates Living master plan alongside Emirates Hills, The Springs, The Lakes and Jumeirah Islands. Launched in the early 2000s, the community was among Dubai’s first freehold areas, giving foreign nationals full ownership rights from the outset.
The Meadows master plan spans nine sub-communities, each with its own character. Together, these sub-districts house more than 1,800 villas featuring 20 different architectural styles. Luxury villas in The Meadows range from 3 to 7 bedrooms, with individual layouts including studies, storage rooms, guest bedrooms and breakfast nooks depending on the cluster. Two decades of growth have given the community mature, tree-lined streets and fully developed parks, creating a cooler microclimate.
Water features run through the community’s design as much as greenery does, with landscaped lakes and waterways woven between clusters. The Meadows Souk, located just outside Meadows 6, brings together fashion boutiques, speciality stores, a Spinneys supermarket, a Fitness First outlet and several cafés, while The Meadows Village is another retail and dining hub within the community.
The Meadows location keeps residents close to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), with Dubai Media City reachable in 7 minutes and Dubai Marina in 10 minutes. Al Khail Metro Station on the Red Line is just 5 minutes away, while the Jumeirah Lakes Towers Tram Station is a 6-minute drive, giving residents access to public transport despite the community’s suburban, villa-only character.
Price growth of up to 23% year-on-year reflects sustained demand for one of Dubai's most established freehold villa communities.
Emaar Properties, Dubai's largest listed developer, continues to maintain and oversee the community, giving buyers confidence in long-term upkeep and build quality.
Two decades of mature landscaping and infrastructure give The Meadows a settled, lived-in character that newer developments take years to build.
Properties valued at AED 2 million or above in The Meadows qualify buyers for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa, subject to meeting the scheme's standard eligibility criteria.
Lakes, tree-lined streets and landscaped parks run throughout the community, giving residents more green space than most Dubai villa communities offer.
Direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road puts Dubai Marina and Dubai Media City within minutes, a rarity among Dubai's mature villa communities.
The Meadows lifestyle revolves around peaceful, family-friendly living in a gated villa community. Residents have access to swimming pools, gyms, sports courts and other shared facilities, with plenty of open spaces for outdoor activities and everyday relaxation. The community is also pet-friendly, making it well-suited to families looking for a comfortable residential setting in Dubai.
The Meadows parks are an important part of daily life, providing green spaces where residents can walk, exercise or spend time outdoors. The community’s landscaped surroundings also make it easy to enjoy a slower pace without giving up access to the city. For shopping and everyday essentials, The Meadows Souk offers supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, salons and other services close to home.
The Meadows Village is home to a Spinneys supermarket, The Hayya Health Club and a lakeside dining terrace overlooking the water.
Purpose-built dog-walking paths and small dog parks provide dedicated spaces for residents to exercise their pets, adding to The Meadows' appeal for pet owners.
Round-the-clock security and controlled entry points help maintain a safe and private residential environment throughout the community.
The Meadows is divided into nine named clusters, including Meadows 1, 2, 5, 7 and 9. Each has its own gated entry while remaining part of the wider community.
Selected clusters feature dedicated tennis and squash courts, giving residents additional options for sport and recreation close to home.
Meadows 5 East Park and Meadows 6 East Park give residents dedicated green space for jogging, picnics and family time.
