Character and lifestyle
The Meadows is an established, gated villa community in Emirates Living, built by Emaar from 2004. Tree lined streets, lakes and detached villas give it a settled, green feel, and it remains one of Dubai's most respected family addresses.
Life is quiet and community focused. Meadows Souk has a Spinneys and Fitness First, Meadows Village adds cafes and services, and Dubai Marina is a short drive away.
Meadows 1 to 9
The community has nine sub-communities, Meadows 1 to 9, with more than 1,800 detached villas in 20 architectural styles. Villas have three to seven bedrooms, most on two storeys, with private gardens and in many cases a pool or lake view.
Because styles repeat across the clusters, buyers compare the same layout in different sub-communities and pay for plot size, lake frontage and the level of renovation.

The buyer case, and what EQT data shows
The Meadows is freehold, so overseas buyers can own outright with title at the Dubai Land Department and the standard 4% DLD fee. New supply inside Emirates Living is close to nil, so well kept villas keep attracting families.
EQT has completed villa sales in The Meadows. We publish price statistics once we hold at least three verified, priced sales, in the EQT Index block on this page. For current comparables by sub-community and villa style, ask us directly.
