Dubai Hills Estate apartment prices in 2026

Dubai Hills Estate is one of Dubai's most expensive and liquid family districts. Here are its prices from registered Dubai Land Department (DLD) sales for the 12 months to 8 October 2026, not from developer brochures.

Price per square metre

The median sale in Dubai Hills Estate is about AED 25,800 per m² (AED 2,400 per sq ft). In recent months it has stayed within AED 23,800–27,000 per m² without sharp swings. New projects by the park sell above the average: Palace Residences Hillside at about AED 27,900 per m² (AED 2,590 per sq ft) and the recently handed-over Eden Hills at about AED 28,300 per m² (AED 2,630 per sq ft). Cheaper options are in projects on the edge of the district, where the median is below AED 20,000 per m² (AED 1,860 per sq ft).

Rents

Median annual rents from Ejari contracts: a studio about AED 55,000, one bedroom AED 90,000, two bedrooms AED 140,000 and three bedrooms about AED 245,000. Rental demand is steady: families choose the district for the park, schools and Dubai Hills Mall.

Rental yield

Gross yield (annual rent over purchase price, before costs) is about 6.9% for studios, 5.2% for one- and two-bedroom apartments and 5.5% for three bedrooms. Net yield is lower by the service charge, insurance and vacancy between tenants.

Best-selling projects

By number of sales in 12 months the leaders are Emaar's new phases by the park: Palace Residences Hillside (345 sales), Rosehill, Vida Residences Hillside and Parkwood, all scheduled for handover in 2029 in the DLD registry. Among ready buildings, Eden Hills (handed over in June 2026) and MAG EYE resell actively.

Compared with other areas

Dubai Hills Estate is priced in line with Dubai Marina (about AED 26,600 per m²) and Business Bay (about AED 26,900 per m²), but one- and two-bedroom apartments yield noticeably more: 5.2% against 4.1–4.7%. JVC is almost half the price (about AED 16,100 per m², AED 1,500 per sq ft) and yields more (5.7–6.8%), but it is a different product — dense blocks without a large park.

How to check the price of a specific unit

The district median is a reference, not a valuation of a particular unit. Price depends on the project, floor, park or golf view and whether the building is ready. Compare the offer with actual sales in the same project over the last 6 months to see whether the seller is over asking.
