Hayat 4 and 5

Hayat 4 and 5 are two townhouse communities by Dubai South Developers, situated within the Golf District of Dubai South and scheduled for handover in Q3 2028. The project comprises five-bedroom homes across two buildings, currently under construction and sold out at the time of writing.

# Two buildings in a planned district still taking shape

Dubai South has been a work in progress for the better part of a decade, and that is both its risk and its logic. The Golf District sits within the southern edge of the emirate, positioned between Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and the district's layout is deliberate: low-rise residential clusters organised around green corridors, with the airport as an anchor rather than a nuisance. Hayat 4 and 5 occupy a position within this emerging fabric, offering townhouse-format living at a scale that feels removed from the tower-dense neighbourhoods further north.

The communities are modest in count, with five units across the two phases. That restraint shapes the character of both buildings.

# Five-bedroom townhouses at just under 5,000 square feet

The residential offer at Hayat 4 and 5 is focused on five-bedroom layouts, with floor areas sitting at either 4,915 or 4,953 square feet. Pricing on the available units ranged from AED 5,630,000 to AED 5,910,000 before the project sold out. Kitchens come equipped, and the homes are delivered unfurnished.

Private gardens are part of the configuration. At nearly 5,000 square feet per home, the internal proportions allow for open-plan living areas that carry real spatial weight rather than the compressed floor plates common in Dubai's mid-market townhouse segment. Service charges are set at 3 to 3.5 AED per square foot annually, which is on the lower end for a community with this amenity profile.

# Amenities structured around outdoor living

The shared facilities lean towards landscape and recreation over branded wellness theatres. Community pools, landscaped gardens and outdoor recreation areas form the core offer. Residents also have access to relaxation and gathering zones, fitness facilities, retail spaces and community parks.

# What the amenity list reflects

This is not a resort-adjacent development with a long roster of concierge services. The amenity set suits families who prioritise proximity to open space, schools and everyday retail over beach clubs or hotel-style programming. The tone is residential rather than hospitality-inflected.

# Al Maktoum Airport at 5.9 kilometres, Linear Park at 4.8

The proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport, roughly 5.9 kilometres from the community, is the defining locational fact. For frequent travellers, particularly those on routes through a hub that will expand substantially over the coming decade, this distance is a genuine convenience. Linear Park sits 4.8 kilometres away. Tappy Toes Nursery is 8.9 kilometres out, a reasonable distance for families with young children.

Sapphire Mall and Lama Beach Club are further afield at 22.4 and 24.4 kilometres respectively, which reflects the reality that Dubai South is not yet a fully self-contained district. Residents rely on road access to reach leisure destinations, and both Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road provide that connection.

# Who actually buys in Dubai South at this price point

At AED 5.6 million to AED 5.9 million for a nearly 5,000-square-foot home, Hayat 4 and 5 represent a value calculation rather than a prestige purchase. A comparable floor area in Jumeirah or along the Palm would cost considerably more. The trade is square footage and a quieter setting against the still-developing infrastructure of a district that will not reach full maturity before the late 2030s.

The buyer profile here tends to be end-users with a long time horizon: families relocating to Dubai permanently, or investors who read the airport expansion and Expo legacy site as indicators of sustained capital appreciation. It is a considered position, not an impulse purchase.
