The table below shows what homes in Dubai Hills Estate actually sold for in 2026, from Dubai Land Department (DLD) open data published on our area page. "Typical" is the median: half of the sales were above it and half below. The studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom rows are almost entirely apartments. The 3 bedroom and 4+ bedroom rows cover all home types, so they can include some townhouses and villas.

Across all 923 sales the typical price was AED 2,262 per sq ft, and 18% of sales were off-plan. The monthly median was AED 2,197 per sq ft in October 2026. Source: Dubai Land Department open data, as shown on our Dubai Hills Estate page on 2 November 2026. The figures update weekly, so check the area page for the latest month.

Apartments for sale in Dubai Hills under AED 1.4 million, 3 million and 4 million

• Under AED 1.4 million: mainly studios (typical AED 965,000) and the smaller or lower floor 1 bedroom units, since the typical 1 bedroom sold for AED 1.6 million in 2026. The cheapest off-plan entry listed was AED 1,400,000 at Park Lane.
• Under AED 3 million: most 1 bedroom apartments and most 2 bedroom apartments, whose typical ready price was AED 2,450,000.
• Under AED 4 million: larger 2 bedroom units with park or golf views, and some off-plan 3 bedroom units (typical off-plan 3 bedroom price AED 3,923,888). Ready 3 bedroom homes typically sold above this, at AED 4,660,000.

Luxury apartment prices in Dubai Hills Estate

At the top end, price per square foot matters more than bedroom count. Among the most-traded finished buildings, Lime Gardens averaged AED 2,672 per sq ft and Park Horizon AED 2,505 per sq ft in 2026, against AED 1,937 per sq ft at Park Heights II. Among off-plan projects, Ellington House II reached AED 3,131 per sq ft on 8 sales. Penthouses, golf course frontage and branded buildings such as Address Hillcrest sit at the upper end. There is no beach in Dubai Hills Estate, so searches for "beachfront" lofts here are really about golf course and park frontage.

These are the buildings where the most apartments changed hands in 2026, with the typical price per square foot from DLD data (2 January to 27 October 2026). Busy buildings are easier to value and usually easier to resell.

Park Heights II has the lowest price per square foot of the busy finished buildings, which makes it a common first purchase. Lime Gardens and Park Horizon cost more per square foot. Our building pages show layouts and any current listings for Park Heights, Collective, Park Field and Golf Place.

Where the apartment buildings are

Apartments in Dubai Hills Estate fall into three groups. Buildings around the central park and Park Heights Square are closest to King's College Hospital and the shops. Buildings near Dubai Hills Mall, along Al Khail Road, give the shortest walk to retail but more road noise. Buildings on the golf course give fairway views and usually cost more per square foot. Townhouses and villas sit in separate gated clusters such as Maple and Sidra, covered in our guide to Dubai Hills Estate townhouses.

Ready to move apartments are finished homes sold by their current owner. You can view the actual unit, check the service charge history and move in or rent it out straight after transfer. In 2026 the typical ready price was AED 1,532,888 for a 1 bedroom and AED 2,450,000 for a 2 bedroom (DLD data).

Off-plan apartments are bought before handover, from Emaar or another developer, usually on a payment plan spread over construction. They cost more at the median for 1 and 2 bedrooms (AED 1,747,944 and AED 2,750,927 in 2026) because they are new stock, but you pay in stages. Our off-plan page listed 30 projects in Dubai Hills Estate on 2 November 2026, from AED 1,400,000.

Average price of off-plan apartments in Dubai Hills Estate

Off-plan sales made up 18% of the 923 homes sold in Dubai Hills Estate in 2026. The typical off-plan price was AED 1,747,944 for a 1 bedroom, AED 2,750,927 for a 2 bedroom and AED 3,923,888 for a 3 bedroom (DLD data, 2 January to 27 October 2026). A "from" price on a launch is the cheapest unit, usually a low floor 1 bedroom, so compare like with like.

Buying a Dubai Hills apartment on installments

Installment buying here usually means an off-plan payment plan: a deposit, then stages during construction, and sometimes a share after handover. Plans differ by project and change between launches, so read the schedule in the sale contract rather than the brochure. The other route is a bank mortgage on a ready unit. Our guide to buying property in Dubai on installments compares both.

DLD data gives the typical size of what actually sold in 2026: about 418 sq ft for a studio, 708 sq ft for a 1 bedroom, 1,075 sq ft for a 2 bedroom and 1,867 sq ft for a 3 bedroom. The smallest unit listed across the community's off-plan projects is 607 sq ft. Sizes vary a lot between buildings, so always compare price per square foot, not just the asking price. Some buildings also offer duplexes, penthouses or ground floor units with a garden, which sell above these medians.

1. Set the budget. Add the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, the trustee office registration fee and agency fees to the price. Our guide to What Are The Hidden Costs Of Buying Property in Dubai lists every line.
2. Arrange finance. If you need a mortgage, get pre-approval from a UAE bank before you make an offer. See getting a mortgage in Dubai as an expat.
3. Shortlist and view. Compare the same bedroom count across two or three buildings using price per square foot.
4. Agree terms and sign the MOU. The Memorandum of Understanding (Form F) sets the price, deposit and transfer date.
5. Get the developer NOC. For a resale, the seller obtains a No Objection Certificate from Emaar confirming there are no unpaid service charges. See the NOC explained.
6. Transfer at a trustee office. The buyer pays the DLD fee and the title deed is issued in the buyer's name.

Fees as published by the Dubai Land Department on its sale registration service page (checked 2 November 2026): 4% of the sale value, plus a trustee registration fee of AED 2,100 for properties under AED 500,000 or AED 4,200 at AED 500,000 and above. For off-plan purchases the contract is registered on the developer's interim register (Oqood) instead of a title deed until handover.

• The view and what will be built next to it. Park and golf views hold value; a view over an empty plot may not last.
• Service charges. Ask for the latest statement and look the building up in the official index. See how to check service charges before you buy.
• Distance to the mall, park and school. The estate is large and most residents drive.
• Handover date and payment plan for off-plan units, and whether the developer has registered the project.
• Price per square foot against the DLD median for the same building, shown above.
• Agency fees. Buying off-plan directly from the developer's own sales channel can avoid an agency fee; with resale, agree in writing who pays commission before you sign.

Dubai Hills Estate is one of the most traded apartment markets in Dubai, with 923 registered home sales in 2026 to 27 October. High turnover makes prices easier to check and units easier to resell. The typical price of about AED 2,262 per sq ft is above many mid-market areas, so the case rests on the park, the golf course, Dubai Hills Mall and King's College Hospital being on the doorstep, and on Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina being about 15 minutes away by car (Emaar's estimate). The drawbacks: you need a car, there is no beach, and some plots are still under construction. Real estate investments with a minimum value of AED 2 million can also qualify for the UAE Golden Visa (u.ae, checked 2 November 2026), which puts a typical 2 bedroom here within reach of the threshold; see The Ultimate Guide to Residency via Real Estate Investment.
