The performance highlights consistent buyer demand and ongoing confidence in The Lakes as a long-term residential location, particularly among owner-occupiers.

November Market Performance Breakdown

Holding 50% of transaction volume indicates strong representation across a broad section of the market, while a 46% share of total value demonstrates involvement in higher-priced villa sales. This balance suggests steady movement across both entry-level and premium homes within the community.

Such performance is typically seen in mature communities where pricing is well understood and transactions are driven by lifestyle decisions rather than short-term speculation.

Where Is The Lakes Located in Dubai?

The Lakes is an Emaar-developed villa community positioned between Emirates Hills and The Greens, offering convenient access to Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Marina, Media City, and Internet City. Its central location provides a balance of privacy and connectivity, making it particularly attractive to long-term residents and professionals working in nearby business districts.

What Type of Community Is The Lakes?

The Lakes is a gated, low-density villa community known for its mature landscaping and quiet surroundings. Unlike many newer developments, the area features established homes with generous layouts, tree-lined streets, and a strong sense of permanence.

Limited new supply has helped maintain stability in pricing, contributing to the area’s consistent transaction levels.

Who Typically Chooses to Live in The Lakes?

The Lakes primarily attracts:

  • Families seeking space, greenery, and a secure environment

What Types of Properties Are Available in The Lakes?

The community is made up predominantly of villas, typically offering:

  • Three to five-bedroom layouts
  • Private gardens and outdoor space
  • Established plot sizes compared to newer developments

Prices vary depending on size, location, and upgrades, but The Lakes continues to sit within the upper mid-range of Dubai’s villa market.

What Amenities Are Available in The Lakes?

Residents benefit from a well-developed infrastructure, including:

  • Community swimming pools and children’s play areas
  • Walking and cycling paths throughout the neighbourhood
  • Sports courts and green open spaces
  • The Lakes Club and nearby retail and dining options

These amenities support a lifestyle focused on outdoor living and community engagement.

What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?
