The Lakes
Dubai
The Lakes is one of Emirates Living's most exclusive villa communities — a gated, low-density Emaar neighbourhood of large villas set among mature landscaping, lakes and greenery, next to Emirates Hills. Known for spacious plots, contemporary renovated homes and a quiet, upscale character, The Lakes sits at the premium end of Emirates Living, favoured by established families seeking privacy and space. It suits families and end-users wanting substantial villas with greenery and a settled, prestigious address close to Dubai Marina and the western corridor. For residents, The Lakes combines seclusion with strong access. Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road connect it to Dubai Marina, Internet City and Downtown, while the retail of Emirates Living, the Montgomerie golf course and schools and clinics sit close by. The Lakes is a car-led, villa-only community without its own metro, and pricing reflects its larger, upgraded homes — the trade-off for spacious, prestigious family living beside Emirates Hills.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
The retail and dining of Emirates Living, including The Springs Souk and Meadows Town Centre, sit close by, with Dubai Marina and Mall of the Emirates a short drive away.
Leisure & Landmarks
The community's lakes, parks and the neighbouring Montgomerie golf course give residents green, waterside open space and golf close to home.
Outdoor, Fitness & Wellbeing
Landscaped lakes, parks, cycling and jogging paths and private and community pools support an active, low-density family lifestyle beside Emirates Hills.
