Jumeirah Heights

Its small scale, lakeside setting, low-density design and position between three of Dubai's most established residential corridors — JLT, Emirates Hills and The Meadows — give Jumeirah Heights a character and exclusivity that belies its modest footprint. Properties here are genuinely scarce, transactions are infrequent, and the community attracts residents who value quietness, privacy and views over the bustle of larger developments.

Community & Lifestyle

Jumeirah Heights is among Dubai's quietest and most self-contained residential communities. Its traffic-free internal environment, lakeside walkways, mature landscaping and intimate scale create a retreat-like atmosphere that stands in sharp contrast to the busier developments on either side.

Key lifestyle features include:

• Lakeside walking and jogging paths throughout the community
• Community pools, fitness centres and sports facilities within the development
• Village Centre with cafés, restaurants, promenade walkways and essential retail
• Choithrams supermarket at Jumeirah Islands — within a 1-minute walk
• Access to the wider Jumeirah Islands and Jumeirah Heights cycle network (20 km planned)
• Community centre hosting social events, workshops and family activities
• Proximity to Emirates Golf Club, Montgomerie Golf Club and Address Montgomerie hotel
• DMCC Metro Station approximately 6 minutes by car; JLT Tram Station approximately 6 minutes

The resident profile is predominantly professional couples, small families and long-term Dubai residents who have specifically chosen the community for its tranquillity and lake views.

Properties in Jumeirah Heights

Jumeirah Heights offers some of the most distinctive residential property for sale in Dubai — an exclusively apartment community with just 246 units across six low-rise buildings in two clusters.

• 2 to 3-bedroom apartments and 2 to 3-bedroom duplex apartments across the six towers
• Named Cluster A through Cluster F, divided into East and West groups
• All units offer lake, waterway or parkland views — units overlooking the JLT lakes are the most prized
• Spacious layouts typically from approximately 1,500 sq ft to over 2,000 sq ft for 2-bedroom units
• Many units have been upgraded by owners to contemporary standards
• 2-bedroom units available for sale from approximately AED 3 million; 3-bedroom from approximately AED 3.5 million

Property Prices & Rental Market

Jumeirah Heights operates as a premium niche market — attracting buyers who want to buy luxury property in Dubai away from the high-rise mainstream — with transactions infrequent due to the very small community size and strong owner-occupier tendency.

• Average price per sq ft approximately AED 1,030
• 2-bedroom apartments for rent from approximately AED 185,000 per year; larger premium units from AED 250,000
• Rental market competitive with consistent high demand, driven by the scarcity of available stock
• 3-bedroom villa ROI approximately 7.7% — among the stronger yields for the property type

Investment Potential

Jumeirah Heights is a scarcity-driven investment, with a small and fixed supply of properties in an established, well-regarded location.

• Consistent demand from a quality tenant base seeking a premium lakeside address in the Emirates Living corridor
• Fixed supply of 246 units — no new development possible within the existing community footprint
• The community's small scale and limited market activity can make liquidity slower than larger communities
• Freehold — accessible to international buyers
• Proximity to DMCC Metro, JLT tram and Sheikh Zayed Road supports connectivity for tenants

Sub-Communities

Jumeirah Heights is divided into two clusters — East and West — comprising six buildings (Cluster A through F). The East cluster is closest to Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) and the lake views towards Jumeirah Islands; the West cluster is closer to The Meadows. Both share the community's central Village Centre facilities.

Why Choose Jumeirah Heights

Jumeirah Heights is for residents who have decided that scale and energy are not what they are looking for. Its 246 homes, calm environment, lake views and close proximity to some of Dubai's most desired lifestyle corridors make it one of the city's most genuinely distinctive apartment communities — small, considered, and consistently in demand from those who know it well.
