Dubai Hills Estate Townhouses: Where They Are and What to Check

A Dubai Hills townhouse is, in almost every case, one of Emaar's Maple townhouses: 3, 4 and 5 bedroom family homes inside Dubai Hills Estate, the master-planned community within Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The villa clusters next to Maple, such as Sidra, Golf Grove and Golf Place, are a different product.

Dubai Hills Estate is one of the few Dubai communities where the master plan was fixed before the buildings went up. The park, the golf course, the mall and the school sites were settled early, so what sits behind your townhouse in five years is largely known now. That certainty is the product. You pay for it in price per square foot, and whether it is worth it depends on whether you are buying to live in or to trade.

What are the Dubai Hills Estate townhouses?

Maple is Emaar's townhouse neighbourhood. Emaar's own Maple page lists the homes as follows (we checked it in October 2026).

Maple was first released in April 2015 as 118 townhouses, according to the press coverage of the launch, and it was later extended into further phases. The size range above is the developer's headline figure. Individual listings sometimes quote plot area instead of built-up area, so always ask which one an advert is showing.

Where are the townhouses in Dubai Hills Estate?

Most of the townhouses in Dubai Hills Estate are in Maple, built in phases: Maple 1, Maple 2 and Maple 3. They are rows of family houses around shared green spaces, and the phase matters more than the house type: each one sits a different distance from the park, the schools and the mall. The Maple at Dubai Hills Estate page groups them under the name most people search.

Sidra, Golf Grove and Golf Place often appear in the same searches. They are larger homes on bigger plots, mostly villas, and they are the step up in both size and price. Check the exact home type before you compare them with Maple. You will also see the name written as "Dubai Hills Estate townhouses", "townhouses in Dubai Hills" or "Dubai Hills town house". They all mean the same homes.

What is it like to live in a Dubai Hills townhouse?

These are Emaar's figures for the wider community, quoted from its Dubai Hills Estate page in October 2026. Travel times are Emaar's estimates and vary with traffic.

The practical result is a family community where the daily routine, school, park, shops and doctor, can be done without leaving it. See our guide to Dubai Hills Walk for the lifestyle side.

Are there 3 bedroom townhouses in Dubai Hills Estate?

Yes. Emaar lists Maple as 3, 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses, so a 3 bedroom Dubai Hills Estate townhouse means a Maple home. The unit mix varies by phase and release, and we do not hold a confirmed unit by unit breakdown of bedroom counts for current stock. If a three bedroom is what you want, tell us the phase and budget and we will flag it the moment one is available. In the meantime you can compare townhouses for sale and townhouses to rent across the rest of Dubai, or read our guide to buying a townhouse in Dubai.

Dubai Hills townhouses for sale and for rent right now

As of 30 October 2026 we have no Dubai Hills Estate townhouses listed. Our Dubai Hills Estate pages show 3 rental listings in the whole community (two apartments and one villa) and no townhouse for sale. The live pages for townhouses for sale in Dubai Hills and townhouses to rent in Dubai Hills show a listing the moment one is added. Owners often talk to agents before they advertise, so if you tell us your budget and the phase you want, we will look for you.

What do homes in Dubai Hills Estate sell for?

We have no sold price table split by townhouse, so we cannot give you a Maple price. What we can show is the Dubai Land Department sales data for the whole community from our Dubai Hills Estate page, for 2 January to 27 October 2026. It mixes apartments and houses, so read the bedroom rows as a guide to the community, not as townhouse prices.

"Typical" is the median. Across all home types in the community the typical price was AED 2,262 per sq ft, with 18% of sales off-plan. Two townhouses with the same internal area can sit a long way apart on price because of plot, position and how much construction is still going on around them.

Are there new townhouses in Dubai Hills Estate (off-plan)?

As of 30 October 2026 we list 30 off-plan projects in Dubai Hills Estate, from AED 1,400,000, and Emaar is behind most of them. That is not a coincidence: Emaar planned the community and still holds much of the remaining land. Three of them are covered below. Park Lane includes 3 bedroom townhouses alongside its apartments, according to its page on our site, which makes it the one to look at if you want a new Dubai Hills townhouse. The other two are apartment projects.

We do not publish handover dates for these projects, because we do not hold confirmed ones. Developer schedules move between releases, and we would rather get the current one in writing for the project you are actually buying. For the villa end of the market, see our off-plan villas in Dubai Hills Estate, and the off-plan index has everything else. If another townhouse launch is released, it will appear there.

What to check before buying or renting a Dubai Hills townhouse

• Which phase. Parts of Dubai Hills are finished and parts are not. An early phase plot can mean years of construction traffic on your street.
• Built-up area or plot area. Ask which one the advert quotes, and check it against the title deed.
• The end unit question. A corner plot with a genuinely usable garden holds value better than an identical mid terrace. Ask what the premium is.
• The service charge for your specific cluster, not the community average. Look the project up in the Dubai service charge index.
• The school run, driven on a weekday morning. The provision is good, which means the roads are busy at the same time as everyone else.
• What the view is of, and whether the plot behind it is spoken for.

Is it worth the premium?

For a family planning to stay several years, usually yes, because you are buying a settled environment rather than a promise about one. For a shorter hold the calculation is harder: you pay the certainty premium at purchase and then compete at resale with a lot of similar stock in the same community. We will run that comparison on a specific unit if you tell us which one.

If you are weighing Dubai Hills Estate against another family community, our Dubai Hills Estate versus Arabian Ranches comparison goes through the trade-offs, and townhouse or villa helps if you are still deciding on the home type. Our guide to off-plan in Dubai Hills Estate covers the apartment projects.
