Inside The Greens & Views: your guide to living, renting and investing

In a city full of flashy new buildings, finding a well-established community is a rare gem, especially one as well connected as The Greens & The Views. These communities tick all the right boxes: prime location, easy access to major roads and just minutes from some of Dubai’s most popular hotspots. As an Emaar developed neighbourhood with consistently high occupancy, they’ve proven to offer both comfort and long-term value.

Read on to explore what makes this community a smart choice, whether you're planning to live, buy or invest here.

 

What sets this community apart?  

If you're looking for quality homes in a calm, walkable setting, The Greens & The Views offer something increasingly hard to find in Dubai, a neighbourhood built for people.

The Greens is one of Emaar’s few low-rise developments, where the buildings sit comfortably within landscaped surroundings. It feels inviting and well-loved. Footpaths are shaded, the lake is central to daily routines and there's a steady flow of dog walkers, children and neighbours catching up over coffee.

The Views brings in a mix of mid and high rise living with open views across the canal and Emirates Golf Club. It offers more variety in unit types, but the same sense of community and connection to the outdoors.

Location is another key advantage. You’re minutes from Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Marina and Media City, but without the usual noise and congestion. Residents enjoy the perks of central living without the compromises.

And if you have pets, this area is one of the few in the city that genuinely welcomes them. From a dedicated dog park to long, walkable routes, it’s a community where having a pet isn’t an afterthought.

Community amenities

There’s a reason people say once you move to The Greens or The Views, you rarely leave and it’s not just about the location. Daily life here is refreshingly straightforward. You’ve got shaded walking paths that loop around the lake, barbecue spots tucked between buildings and multiple pools for residents to use.

Need groceries? There’s a full-sized supermarket right in the middle of The Greens, plus cafes, salons and dry cleaners. It’s the kind of place where you can run your errands on foot and grab a coffee with your neighbour.

And if you're wondering about transport, the Internet City Metro Station is a short walk away and there are bus stops dotted throughout the area. It’s one of the few places in Dubai where not owning a car actually makes sense.

Schools in the area

There are several excellent nurseries and schools close by, including the highly regarded Regent International School just around the corner. It’s also a quick commute to many of Dubai’s top international schools and universities in Knowledge Village, making it a practical choice for households with kids of all ages.

 

What kind of property types can you find in The Greens & Views?  

Whether you're after a studio or a spacious family home, The Greens offers an impressive variety of units. This area is made up of low rise apartment buildings contributing to the relaxed, neighbourhood feel. You can find studios up to four bedroom apartments, many of which come with generous layouts, balconies and community views.

Across the canal, The Views brings in a mix of mid and high rise buildings with more modern finishes, golf course views and even a handful of duplex style apartments in select buildings. Some homes overlook the water, some the greens, but all come with access to quality amenities and a sense of calm you wouldn’t expect this close to the city.

What are the best buildings in The Greens?

That depends on what you're looking for. Your lifestyle, space requirements and investment goals all play a part.

Phase 1 is often favoured by families, with larger two to four bedroom units and a more residential atmosphere. Al Nakheel is the only building in this phase offering one bedroom layouts, while the others are known for their spacious designs and quieter setting.

Phase 2, on the other hand, appeals to singles, couples and investors. It features mostly studios and one bedroom apartments, with a few two bed options. This phase offers a more vibrant, low maintenance lifestyle that is ideal for those seeking convenience and strong rental appeal.

The “best” building comes down to your needs, whether that’s more space, a quieter setting, or a smart investment opportunity.

 

So, do we recommend The Greens and The Views?

Absolutely. As agents who know the Dubai market inside out, we can confidently say this is one of the city’s most well rounded communities and a consistently smart choice for both end users and investors. You’ve got high occupancy rates, strong long term rental demand, and some of the best golf course views in Dubai. The location is central, with easy access to Media City, the Marina and Sheikh Zayed Road, and you’re still close to the new Palm developments without the premium price tag.

For first-time buyers, the area is affordable and easy to settle into. For investors, it consistently delivers strong returns, thanks to the kind of stability that comes from a community people rarely want to leave. The infrastructure is solid, services are convenient, and the lifestyle is simple and well connected. With The Greens and The Views side by side, you get the best of both worlds.
