Overview

DAMAC Hills is one of Dubai's best investment communities—a golf-centered development featuring Trump International Golf Club with a mix of apartments, villas, and townhouses. It offers some of the highest rental yields in Dubai while providing genuine lifestyle amenities.

The community spans two phases with landscaped parks, schools, medical centers, and retail facilities. Unlike purely residential areas, DAMAC Hills attracts both residents seeking golf lifestyle and investors targeting returns. The blend creates a growing, dynamic community.

DAMAC Hills suits investors prioritizing yield over capital appreciation, families wanting golf access without premium prices, and anyone seeking modern amenities at affordable entry points. It's one of the few communities where yield-focused investors and lifestyle-seekers both find value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are DAMAC Hills yields so high?

Affordable purchase prices combined with solid rental demand create strong yields. Studios at AED 600K renting for AED 50K+ deliver 7-8% gross. The golf amenity and growing infrastructure attract quality tenants willing to pay market rates.

Is golf membership included?

No—golf membership at Trump International is separate and carries significant fees. However, many residents don't play golf and simply enjoy the landscaped environment. The course adds aesthetic value even for non-golfers.

How does DAMAC Hills 2 differ?

DAMAC Hills 2 is a separate, more affordable development further out. DAMAC Hills (original) has Trump golf course and more established infrastructure. Don't confuse them—they're different communities with different profiles.

Is it good for families?

Yes—parks, schools, and safe environment make DAMAC Hills family-friendly. It lacks the community feel of The Springs or Arabian Ranches but offers more modern amenities at lower prices. Good for families prioritizing value and space.

What's the appreciation potential?

DAMAC Hills projects 5-6% annual capital appreciation—moderate by Dubai standards. It's primarily a yield play rather than capital growth investment. Infrastructure maturation should support steady appreciation over time.
