Tree-lined streets, man-made lakes, and twenty years of maturity no new-build can replicate. Emaar The Meadows is a gated community of 1,800 villas within Emirates Living 3 to 7-bedroom homes by Emaar Properties, ready to move, with freehold ownership and direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road. For families who want established schools, parks, and a neighbourhood that already works, this is the address. The villas start from AED 3.4 million.
Emaar The Meadows is a gated villa community of 1,800 homes within Emirates Living one of Dubai’s most established residential master plans, developed by Emaar Properties. Located off Sheikh Zayed Road near Interchange 5, The Meadows has been fully occupied since 2004 and sits alongside The Springs, The Lakes, and Emirates Hills within the broader Emirates Living ecosystem. Emaar Properties, founded in 1997, is the developer behind Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Hills Estate. The Meadows represents their original vision for suburban Dubai: gated streets, landscaped parks, lake views, and family-scale homes within commuting distance of the city’s western business hubs. Twenty years of maturity is not a marketing claim. It is visible in every tree, every park, and every school that operates inside the gate.
The Meadows offers detached two-storey villas in 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7-bedroom configurations across nine sub-communities, each with its own character and layout. Sizes range from 3,089 to 6,419 sq.ft. Every villa includes private gardens, covered parking, terraces, and balconies. Some units feature private swimming pools. Layouts follow 20 distinct floor plan types offering genuine variety in a market where most villa communities deliver a single design repeated across hundreds of plots. Interior finishes are standard Emaar-grade: fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes, tiled flooring, and central air conditioning. Many owners have upgraded interiors over two decades of ownership, so the resale market includes both original and renovated stock.
Emirates Living covers a substantial footprint of western Dubai, with The Meadows occupying one of its most central positions. The community features multiple landscaped parks, man-made lakes, tree-lined walking paths, and dedicated children’s play areas across all nine sub-communities. The Address Montgomerie golf course sits adjacent, adding a green corridor that extends the open-space feel beyond the community boundary. Three schools operate within or immediately adjacent to the community: Dubai British School Emirates Hills (KHDA Outstanding), Dubai International Academy Emirates Hills (KHDA Outstanding), and Regent International School. Maple Bear Nursery and other early-years centres also serve families within the gates. A community centre, Hayya Health Club, mosque, supermarket, and retail outlets handle daily needs without leaving the neighbourhood. Three dedicated dog parks add to the family infrastructure.
