Inside Arabian Ranches 3, Emaar's third Ranches community
Arabian Ranches 3 is the third Ranches community from Emaar, unveiled in February 2019 as a gated townhouse neighbourhood. Sun was the first cluster released, followed within weeks by Joy, and both were completed in 2022. The master plan puts a central park of more than 30,000 square metres at its heart, linked by a 4 km boulevard, with a lazy river, cycling tracks, a clubhouse, a retail strip and a mosque.
Homes are grouped into small named clusters. Most are contemporary townhouses with three and four bedrooms, in neighbourhoods such as Sun, Joy, Bliss, Ruba and Raya, while Spring, June and the Elie Saab clusters add detached villas. Newer phases such as Anya, Anya 2 and May were still off plan during the past year, so the community keeps growing. The Arabian Ranches 3 Souk gives residents everyday shops close to home.
