Paradise Hills

Paradise Hills is a low-rise gated community by Gulf Land Property Developers, situated within the DAMAC Lagoons masterplan in Dubailand. Comprising pent suites and townhouses across two buildings, the project reached 84 per cent construction completion ahead of its Q1 2024 handover date.

# The community and its position within DAMAC Lagoons

DAMAC Lagoons occupies one of Dubailand's more ambitious residential pockets, a district that has attracted sustained developer attention over the past several years for its scale and its distance from the density of central Dubai. Paradise Hills sits within this broader masterplan as a contained, gated enclave rather than a high-rise tower address. Two buildings form the community. The low-rise format and gated perimeter give it a quieter residential character that distinguishes it from the apartment-led launches that dominate much of this corridor.

The surrounding masterplan provides infrastructure and a critical mass of residents that a standalone project at this scale could not sustain on its own. That interdependence is worth understanding before purchase.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The project houses 170 pent suites and townhouses. Precise size ranges are not available for disclosure at this time, though the developer's original brief describes large internal spaces, premium finishes, and kitchens equipped with German-branded appliances and fitted wardrobes as standard.

Residences are unfurnished, which suits buyers intending to specify their own interiors. The service charge is set at 2.5 AED per square foot annually, a figure that places running costs at a broadly competitive level for a gated community with this amenity profile.

Private pools are available within the scheme, though buyers should confirm which unit types carry that allocation directly with the selling agent.

# What the amenities include

The community gym and resort-inspired swimming pool are the two anchors of the shared amenity provision. Jogging tracks and children's play areas are laid out within the grounds, alongside retail shops that reduce dependency on external errands for day-to-day needs.

# The themed birds park

Among the less conventional inclusions is a themed birds park, a feature that adds an identifiable character to the landscaping without requiring residents to engage with it directly. It functions as a differentiator in a district where many projects lean on broadly similar amenity lists.

Modern home elevators are incorporated into the residential buildings, a practical specification given the multi-storey townhouse and pent suite format.

# Roads, schools and the airport

Al Maktoum International Airport sits roughly 22 kilometres away, approximately 20 minutes by road. For buyers considering Dubai South as a long-term growth corridor, that proximity matters. Jebel Ali School is 4.8 kilometres from the community, around a 10-minute drive, which covers the schooling question for families relocating with children.

DAMAC Hills and its mall are 5.6 kilometres away. Downtown Dubai is further, at 29 kilometres and approximately 40 minutes in normal traffic. This is not a project for buyers whose daily routine is anchored in the city centre.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the market

Paradise Hills addresses a specific buyer profile: families or second-home purchasers who prioritise space, greenery, and a managed community environment over proximity to the urban core. The Dubailand location carries a price advantage relative to waterfront or central addresses, and the gated, low-rise format appeals to buyers moving from suburban environments in the UK, Europe, or the GCC who find tower living a step too far.

The project is currently out of stock through primary channels, which means resale and assignment opportunities are the relevant route. At 84 per cent construction progress, buyers entering now face a short remaining wait before handover, which reduces the exposure period that puts off some investors in earlier-stage launches.
