Living in Emirates Living
Emirates Living is one of Dubai’s most established master-planned residential communities developed by Emaar Properties, bringing together a collection of villa and townhouse neighbourhoods including The Springs, The Meadows, The Lakes, Emirates Hills and Hattan. Known for its landscaped streets, lakes, parks and family-oriented atmosphere, Emirates Living remains one of the city’s most desirable suburban addresses for long-term residents and end-users.
The vibe
Emirates Living offers a calm, green and mature suburban lifestyle that contrasts with Dubai’s high-rise districts. Tree-lined roads, walking paths, lakes and community parks create a peaceful residential environment popular with families, professionals and senior executives. The area feels established and low-density, with less construction activity compared to newer communities. Residents value the privacy, open space and strong community feel.
Where it sits in Dubai
Emirates Living is strategically positioned along Sheikh Zayed Road between Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Village Circle, close to key business districts such as Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City. Dubai Marina is around 10 minutes away, Downtown Dubai approximately 20 minutes, and DXB Airport roughly 25–30 minutes depending on traffic. Its central location makes it convenient for commuters working across New Dubai.
Getting around
The community is primarily car-dependent, though access to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road is straightforward. Dubai Internet City and Sobha Realty metro stations are the closest metro connections for some sub-communities. Wide internal roads, dedicated parking and cycling-friendly streets make daily commuting relatively easy. Ride-hailing services and school buses are heavily used by residents.
Lifestyle, schools and amenities
Emirates Living is built around family living and outdoor recreation. Community centres across The Springs and The Meadows provide supermarkets, cafés, pharmacies and fitness facilities, while nearby destinations like Dubai Marina Mall and Mall of the Emirates offer larger retail and entertainment options. Popular schools nearby include Emirates International School, Dubai British School and Regent International School. Parks, lakes, jogging tracks, tennis courts and children’s play areas are integrated throughout the neighbourhood, giving Emirates Living a more relaxed and community-focused atmosphere than many newer developments in Dubai.
