Full scorecardJumeirah Golf Estates
Jumeirah Golf Estates is deliberately sleepy. Fairways, lakes and generous plots dominate, and the clubhouse is the social centre. If you want street life, this is the wrong community; if you want silence and space, it is excellent.
Dubai Hills Estate
Dubai Hills feels like a modern, deliberately planned suburb that happens to sit close to the centre of the city. Wide boulevards, a big park, a full-size mall and several schools mean daily life rarely requires leaving. It is polished rather than characterful.
