About
About Vida Residences Hillside at Dubai Hills Estate
Vida Residences Hillside is the Vida brand's park address inside Dubai Hills Estate, and the plot is the argument. Emaar has arranged two residential towers and a short townhouse row around Hillside Park, the community's new activity park, rather than on a road frontage or an interior plot. That decision matters more than any elevation drawing, because the park is protected open space in the masterplan. The outlook from the park-facing stock is structurally defended rather than dependent on what gets built next door.
The second argument is the community itself. Dubai Hills Estate stopped being a masterplan years ago: the championship golf club, Dubai Hills Mall, the GEMS schools and King's College Hospital are open and trading, and there is a resale and rental record here going back to the first handovers in 2018. A buyer at Vida Residences Hillside is underwriting one building, not a district. For an investor that removes the hardest variable to price, because comparable evidence exists instead of projection. For a family it removes the years of living beside cranes that usually follow an early-phase purchase.
Nine units remain with Emaar out of the original 500. At that point the useful question stops being the price list and becomes which layouts, floors and orientations are still open, because what is left in a nearly sold building is rarely a representative cross section of what launched.

Vida Residences Hillside at Dubai Hills Estate Prices & Sizes
Vida Residences Hillside is priced as a branded Emaar product rather than a mainstream one, and the tier structure is where that shows. The one bedroom sits below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa line and behaves like a yield asset inside a community with a proven tenant base. The two and three bedroom layouts clear the threshold and draw the family end user who is buying the schools, the park and the golf club as much as the floor plan. The townhouses are the outlier: at well over 2,600 sq ft with direct ground access, they are the closest thing in the development to a villa, and townhouse stock inside Dubai Hills Estate is a scarcity story rather than a supply one. Sizes shown are total areas including balconies.

Emaar's published schedule runs seven instalments of 10 percent each between 2025 and 2028, each tied to a verified construction milestone, with the closing 20 percent payable on completion in 2029. Moving the funds is the part international buyers consistently underestimate: my guide on how to pay for property in Dubai compares the routes non-residents actually use, from international transfers to manager's cheques. Request the exact remaining payment schedule for your unit.

Structure
Explore Vida Residences Hillside at Dubai Hills Estate Structure
Vida Residences Hillside only reads correctly against the community around it. The towers occupy one plot inside a 2,700 acre Emaar master development that carries its own championship golf course, hospital, mall and school network, and the value of the address is inherited from that infrastructure as much as from the building. The three pages below cover those layers: what is currently trading across Dubai Hills Estate, how the community itself is planned, and what Emaar's delivery record looks like across the city.

Map
Explore Vida Residences Hillside at Dubai Hills Estate Location on Dubai Map
Vida Residences Hillside by Emaar sits inside Dubai Hills Estate, the 2,700 acre master community laid out between Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street. Through Tohid Fetrat's Dubai Investment Map you can place the development against Hillside Park, the golf course and Dubai Hills Mall, and compare it directly with other apartment projects across the city.
Al Khail Road is the spine that makes the address work. It puts Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina roughly ten minutes away in opposite directions, with Dubai International Airport at fifteen minutes, so a Downtown commute and a Marina one are served equally well from the same plot.
Location
Vida Residences Hillside Location Within Dubai Hills Estate
Inside Dubai Hills Estate, the defining fact of the position is Hillside Park. The two towers and the townhouse row are laid out around it rather than beside it, so the park is what most balconies look at instead of another facade across a road, and the community's newest activity park doubles as the development's front garden. Its neighbours are Emaar's current wave of Dubai Hills releases, which is worth reading as a signal: Emaar is finishing this quadrant, so the construction activity around you has a defined end date rather than an open one. For resale that matters as much as the view, because the buyer pool here includes families already living in the community who want to stay but move from a villa into an apartment, which is a quietly reliable source of demand. The wider community layout is covered in my Dubai Hills Estate community guide.
Dubai Hills Estate, DubaiConnectivity
Connectivity from Vida Residences Hillside at Dubai Hills Estate
Dubai Hills Estate was planned around Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street, which is why a community this green still sits ten minutes from Downtown Dubai in one direction and ten from Dubai Marina in the other. That two-way reach is what widens the tenant pool here, because the community draws from Downtown, DIFC, Media City and Marina employment at once rather than depending on a single district. No metro line serves Dubai Hills Estate today, so this is a car-led address, and it is worth weighing honestly if you are buying for a tenant profile that commutes without one. For everything else the geography is forgiving: both airports fall inside a twenty five minute window, and the mall, the golf club, Hillside Park and the schools are internal trips rather than city ones.

Interiors
Interior Design at Vida Residences Hillside
Emaar's specification here is deliberately restrained: neutral paint, large format floor finishes carried through into the bathrooms, wood grain kitchen and wardrobe joinery with a lighter accent shutter, and marble effect countertops with a matching backsplash. Every residence gets a laundry room, built-in wardrobes and a full height glazed wall onto its own balcony, while the three bedroom layouts add a maid's room with its own bathroom and a separate store. It is a palette chosen to age slowly rather than to photograph loudly, which is the correct call in a community where apartments are held for years and resold to families rather than flipped on handover.

Vida Residences Hillside at Dubai Hills Estate Frequently Asked Questions
Vida Residences Hillside is a residential development by Emaar Properties in Dubai Hills Estate, made up of two residential towers and a townhouse row arranged around Hillside Park over a shared podium. It offers 500 homes across 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments plus 3 bedroom townhouses, delivered under Emaar's Vida brand.
The development sits inside Dubai Hills Estate, the 2,700 acre Emaar master community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, laid out between Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street. It fronts Hillside Park, with Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina each roughly ten minutes away by road. The full community layout is set out in my Dubai Hills Estate community guide.
The development offers 1 bedroom apartments of approximately 726 to 871 sq ft (67 to 81 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,065 to 1,542 sq ft (99 to 143 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,583 to 2,001 sq ft (147 to 186 sq m), and 3 bedroom townhouses of approximately 2,616 to 2,622 sq ft (243 to 244 sq m). All figures are total areas including balconies.
Prices start from AED 1.82M ≈ USD 496K for a 1 bedroom apartment, AED 2.71M ≈ USD 738K for a 2 bedroom, AED 3.88M ≈ USD 1.06M for a 3 bedroom, and AED 6.64M ≈ USD 1.81M for a 3 bedroom townhouse, depending on floor, layout and orientation.
Handover is scheduled for Q2 2029, which places a buyer today roughly three years of construction from the keys. Site progress against RERA inspection data is tracked month by month in the Vida Residences Hillside construction updates guide.
Emaar offers an 80/20 construction linked plan: 10 percent plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee on booking, 70 percent across seven instalments of 10 percent each tied to construction milestones between 2025 and 2028, and the closing 20 percent payable on completion in 2029. Because part of the schedule has already elapsed, a purchase today settles the instalments already invoiced against that unit at the point of booking.
Residents have a swimming pool and pool deck, indoor and outdoor gyms, a multipurpose residents lounge, a BBQ and outdoor dining area, a multipurpose sports court and kids play areas. The adjoining Hillside Park adds a multipurpose lawn, a golf putting green, a rope course, a skate and pump track, picnic areas and a dog park, while the wider community carries the Dubai Hills Golf Club, Dubai Hills Park and Dubai Hills Mall.
The property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa is AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.71M, the 3 bedroom apartments from AED 3.88M and the 3 bedroom townhouses from AED 6.64M all clear that threshold. The 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.82M and fall below it, so they do not qualify on their own. The eligibility steps are set out in the Vida Residences Hillside Golden Visa guide.
Yes. Vida Residences Hillside is a freehold development in Dubai Hills Estate, so buyers of any nationality can own the property outright, whether or not they are UAE residents, with no restriction on resale.
