Cons of living in the Emirates Hills

Though some amenities are among the finest, they come with a set of challenges one must weigh before the deal is sealed. Some factors about living in such an upscale and private community also require consideration. Just let me tell you that there are a few things to remember before shifting to this area.

1. Expensive Properties

The community has residents who are famous and fictional friends, diplomats, and well-known politicians. It provides residents with a multitude of high-end facilities. Of course, you will pay through the nose for premium features here. Properties carry a hefty price tag for a reason.

2. Insufficient Public Transport

Like many villa communities that are filled around Dubai, it is not located near a metro station. This can pose difficulties for residents who rely on public transportation to commute within and outside the neighborhood. A personal vehicle is often necessary to access smooth mobility to this destination.

3. Not Too Fancy

Thus, this community may not provide you with that too-glitzy atmosphere but a very sober one where you can enjoy a calm ambiance over the rush and hustle of the city. This may be a disadvantage, but it can also be an advantage to those searching for a quiet and composed atmosphere for their family.

4. Not a Beachfront Community

Most Emirates Hills communities are golf communities with their signature Montgomerie Golf Course and artificial lakes. People who want beachfront property might not be sitting in on this because it has no beach adjacent to it, which is opposite Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Marina.

5. Strive for those kinds of homes. Security.

Unique to the is the added security, with only three entry points into the community and guests being allowed only on pre-arranged permission. Although this makes for a highly safe and secure environment, for some residents or visitors who prefer more convenient access, it may feel unduly constrictive.

6. Fewer Property Types Available

Dubai is a low-rise community with low-density developments. There are no apartment buildings or townhouses in the neighborhood, so all you can see are custom-made, lavishly decorated villa mansions relatively separated from each other.

Closing In!

Dubai is a perfect community to live in, especially for wealthy folks who like privacy, maximum security, peace, and luxury living beyond comparison. It is also inflexible and one of the most expensive communities to live in, as it is a very elite, closed community without public transport. If the benefits of living in the align with your choice and lifestyle, this is a perfect community to explore.
