The Greens and the Views area guide

About The Greens and the Views

The Greens and The Views were developed by Emaar Properties, one of Dubai's most recognised names in residential communities. That backing shows. Tall, mature trees line the internal roads, the buildings stay low, and the whole neighbourhood carries an energy that feels genuinely lived-in rather than just built and handed over. The community's maturity is visible in its landscaping, low-rise buildings, and quiet streets. The crowd here is largely long-term expats, working professionals, and families who have been in Dubai long enough to know exactly what they want from a neighbourhood. The Greens have a warm, settled feel where neighbours are familiar with one another, and lakeside evening walks are part of daily life. The Views is more polished, running along the fairways of the Emirates Golf Course, attracting residents who want that same quiet but with a greener outlook. Together, they form one of those rare Dubai communities where people move in and stop looking.

Location and connectivity in The Greens and the Views

The Greens and The Views are located in the heart of Dubai, directly off Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) between Interchange 5 and Interchange 6. The community is bordered by Emirates Hills to the west and the Emirates Golf Course to the south, within one of the most established residential corridors in the city. Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City are immediate neighbours to the north, a natural fit for professionals based in those free zones. The area has direct access to Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers through Sheikh Zayed Road, and the Red Line Metro runs along the community's edge for residents who prefer public transport.

Who is The Greens and The Views best for?

The Greens and The Views suit those who want a genuine home in an established community, not simply a commuter base. Properties for sale in The Greens and apartments for sale in The Views draw buyers who value green surroundings, quiet streets, and easy access to the rest of the city without sacrificing the feeling of actually living somewhere.

Professionals working in the free zones

Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City are right next door. The commute for someone based there is genuinely short, which is rare in Dubai. Add the Red Line Metro on the community's edge, and daily life becomes considerably easier for professionals who do not want to spend an hour in the car each way.

Families

The community is low-rise, tree-lined, and pedestrian-friendly in a way that not many Dubai neighbourhoods actually are. Children cycle on the paths, parents walk to the community centre, and the whole layout feels designed with daily family life in mind. Schools and nurseries are either within the community or a short drive away.

Long-term residents

This is not a revolving-door community. The tenant profile here tends toward expat professionals and families on medium to long-term contracts, which keeps the community stable and vacancy rates low. The Greens apartments for rent see consistent demand across the year, not the kind of market where units sit empty for months.

Investors

The numbers are worth paying attention to. Rental yields in The Greens range from 5.9% to 6.2% per annum, with studios delivering yields as high as 7.6% based on recent transaction data. The Views sits slightly higher on the price per sq. ft. scale, attracting tenants willing to pay a premium for golf course and lake views. Limited supply, a loyal rental base, and the area's established reputation keep capital values steady. Properties for rent in The Greens reflect this, with demand holding firm across all unit types.

Golf course living without the villa price tag

The Views is the more premium side of the two communities. Buildings like The Fairways, Golf Towers, and Tanaro face the Emirates Golf Course directly. Buyers who cannot stretch to a villa in Emirates Hills will find The Views a practical middle ground, with apartment sizes going up to 2,000 sq. ft. in some buildings.

Who it is not for

The Greens and The Views are apartment communities. The area is also not the right fit for a tight budget. Studios start around AED 60,000 per year in rent, and sale prices begin from approximately AED 820,000. A more affordable alternative with similar metro access would be Jumeirah Lake Towers or Barsha Heights.

Property types in The Greens and the Views

Both communities are entirely apartment-based. All properties are freehold, open to UAE nationals and international buyers alike. Real estate agency like betterhomes covers both communities extensively, with active listings across The Greens and The Views, and title transfer completed through DLD.

Apartments in The Greens

The Greens has 40 low-rise buildings spread across 10 complexes, plus the Onyx Tower. Units run from studios to four-bedroom apartments, with practical layouts that have held up well over the years. Most include built-in wardrobes, a balcony, and access to a shared pool and gym within the complex. Larger units often come with a maid's room.

Apartments in The Views

The Views has mid to high-rise buildings facing the Emirates Golf Course, the lake, or the canal. Units are generally larger than those in The Greens, and the finish level sits a step higher. Buildings like The Fairways, Golf Towers, and Tanaro command a premium for the golf course outlook and elevated position.

Pros and cons of living in The Greens and the Views

The Greens and The Views suit professionals, families, and long-term residents who want an established, green neighbourhood with genuine walkability and strong transport links. Both are low-rise, tree-lined apartment communities in the heart of Dubai, developed by Emaar as part of the Emirates Living master plan. The tradeoffs are real too. No villas, limited parking, and apartment living only. Here is an honest look at what daily life actually looks like. 

Pros of living in The Greens and the Views

• Low-rise, low-density layout with mature trees, a central lake, and landscaped paths
• Red Line Metro is accessible via the Dubai Internet City and Al Khail stations
• Fully freehold and open to all nationalities for purchase
• Pet-friendly with a dedicated dog park and wide pedestrian-friendly internal roads
• The Greens Souk covers day-to-day retail, dining, and supermarket needs without leaving the community
• Rental yields of 5.9% to 6.2% make it a reliable investment in this corridor

Cons of living in The Greens and The Views

• No metro station within the community itself, although Dubai Internet City and Al Khail Metro Stations are within walking distance or a short feeder bus ride.
• Fully car-dependent for daily errands, school runs, and commuting
• Peak-hour commute to Business Bay, DIFC, or Downtown can reach 35 to 45 minutes

Nearby landmarks

Take a look at the key destinations reachable from The Greens and The Views: 

The Greens and The Views have already done what most Dubai communities are still trying to prove. Two decades of settled living, consistent rental demand, yields of 5.9% to 6.2% (studios reaching 7.6%), and a location next to two major free zones that keep occupancy steady year-round. The Views adds golf course and lake frontage that is genuinely hard to find at this price point on Sheikh Zayed Road. Parking gets tight, and the buildings are older, but for a well-connected, green, and liveable apartment community in the heart of Dubai, very few places come close. For anyone tracking Dubai real estate insights, this is the kind of community that consistently shows up in the data as a stable, long-term performer. If this sounds like the right fit, betterhomes can help you find what is available and take it from there.
