02 / About

About The Lakes

The Lakes is part of the Emirates Living Community, a collection of residential developments that also includes Emirates Hills, The Views, The Parklands, The Meadows, The Springs and The Greens.

Situated inland from Palm Jumeirah and to the south of Sheikh Zayed Road, The Lakes lies between two of Dubai’s great golf courses, the Emirates Golf Club and The Montgomerie at Emirates Hills.

The properties here are detached villas and townhouses set in landscaped common areas with parks, lakes, water features, children’s play areas, swimming pools and BBQ areas.

There are 600 homes in The Lakes’ six established communities - Deema, Forat, Ghadeer, Hattan, Maeen and Zulal. There are villas and townhouses in sizes ranging from three to five bedrooms, and 12 different floor plans, each with private garden and covered car parking ports or garages.

As well as landscaped common areas and a community park, each neighbourhood has its own park, and some have tennis courts and swimming pools as well.
