The Views

The Views is an Emaar Properties residential community that forms part of the Emirates Living masterplan, directly adjacent to The Greens. The Views specifically overlooks Emirates Golf Club and the community lakes, while The Greens is the adjacent community sharing the same retail centre (The Greens Centre) and community infrastructure. The two communities function as a single connected neighbourhood — residents of both share supermarkets, gyms, pools, and the community promenade. The Greens has a slightly lower price point, while The Views commands a premium for its direct golf course and lake views.

Top investment buildings in The Views by view quality and rental demand: Golf Tower clusters (direct Emirates Golf Club Majlis course-facing units command highest rents and resale premiums); Lake Tower clusters (water-facing units, strong STR profile for furnished rentals); and The Links building cluster (direct bridge access to Emirates Golf Club clubhouse, premium for golf members). 2-bedroom apartments in golf-facing buildings consistently achieve the strongest resale and rental premiums. 1-bedroom apartments in all clusters offer the best gross yield (6.5-7%) due to lower entry price and high demand from single media professionals.

Gross rental yield at The Views is 6-7%, with 1-bedrooms offering the highest yield at 6.5-7% and 2-bedrooms at 5.5-6.5% gross. Annual rents: 1-bed AED 85,000-100,000, 2-bed AED 110,000-145,000, 3-bed AED 150,000-200,000, 4-bed AED 200,000-280,000. Service charges are approximately AED 15-20/sqft, producing net yields of 5.0-6.5%. The tenant base is predominantly media and tech professionals from nearby Dubai Media City and Internet City, creating low vacancy and high renewal rates.

The nearest Metro station to The Views is Dubai Internet City Station (Red Line), approximately a 10-15 minute walk from most of the community’s clusters or a short bus ride. The station provides direct Red Line access to Dubai Marina, JBR, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai International Airport. Some residents prefer to drive or take taxis given Dubai’s typical commuting patterns, but the Metro option makes The Views accessible without a car — a significant advantage for the media and tech professional demographic who commonly rely on Metro commuting.

Schools near The Views: Dubai International Academy (IB curriculum, Al Barsha – 10 min drive); Regent International Private School (British curriculum, The Greens – adjacent); American University in Dubai (higher education, adjacent to the community via First Al Khail Street); Jumeirah International Nursery (1 km from The Views per Emirates.Estate data); and Dubai British School Jumeirah Park (British curriculum, 15 min). The Greens and The Views community is particularly popular with families due to the walkable school proximity and safe low-traffic streets.

Yes. The Views is one of Dubai’s most established pet-friendly residential communities, with landscaped walking paths, parks, and open green areas suitable for dog walking. The lakeside promenade and canal walks are popular with pet owners. Community management allows pets in line with RERA guidelines. This pet-friendly status is a meaningful differentiator that creates tenant loyalty and contributes to The Views’ high lease renewal rate — pet owners are reluctant to relocate and incur the difficulty of finding comparable pet-accepting communities.

The Views and Dubai Marina sit on the same Sheikh Zayed Road corridor with comparable Metro and road connectivity, but serve different lifestyle profiles. Dubai Marina offers sea views, a waterfront promenade, a broader F&B scene, and higher STR demand — at AED 2,000-2,400/sqft and 5-6% gross yield. The Views offers golf course and lake views, a quieter community feel, pet-friendly policy, and a more stable long-term tenant base — at AED 1,400-1,800/sqft and 6-7% gross yield. For investors prioritising net yield and stable tenancy over STR income, The Views outperforms. For investors seeking STR income and capital appreciation, Dubai Marina leads.

The Views’ long-term investment outlook is characterised by stability, consistent income, and a steady 5-8% annual appreciation trajectory from an established base. Unlike emerging communities dependent on infrastructure delivery, The Views is a fully mature community with no execution risk. The community’s permanent advantages — Emirates Golf Club adjacency (protected from development), Sheikh Zayed Road frontage, Emaar brand management, and a professional tenant demographic from Media City and Internet City — ensure sustained demand. As Dubai Marina and JBR prices continue rising above AED 2,500/sqft, the AED 400-600/sqft discount at The Views will gradually narrow, delivering additional capital appreciation on top of the consistent 6-7% gross yield.
