Lime Gardens

Lime Gardens is a residential apartment development by Emaar, positioned in the southern pocket of Dubai Hills Estate. It targets buyers and investors seeking a green-belt address with direct access to Dubai Hills Park — one of the largest urban parks in the city.

Location & connectivity

Things to consider

Lime Gardens is car-dependent — there is no metro access nearby, which adds to commuting time and costs. The community is still maturing, so construction activity in surrounding phases of Dubai Hills Estate may be a factor for buyers moving in during the near term.
