Spanning an impressive 55 million square feet, this master development by DAMAC Properties, a leading UAE developer, offers a unique experience in Dubai community living. It caters to residents and visitors seeking a lifestyle that seamlessly blends relaxation, recreation, and natural beauty. The community’s success is further evidenced by the impressive sales figures, with over 11,806 units sold, solidifying its popularity among property buyers.
A key indicator of DAMAC Hills 2’s maturation is the increasing activity in the secondary market. Nearly 1,700 units have been sold in the secondary market over the past three years, highlighting the robust demand for villas within the community. Furthermore, a burgeoning rental market bolsters the community’s attractiveness, with investors capitalizing on improving rental yields. This trend reflects the growing confidence of both investors and residents who recognize the value proposition of DAMAC Hills 2, which currently houses over 30,000 residents.

Notably, seven clusters within the community have witnessed double-digit capital appreciation over the last two years, signifying consistent growth and sustained demand. The Aquilegia cluster, featuring three and six-bedroom configurations, exemplifies the high demand for premium villas within DAMAC Hills 2.
This growing demand extends to the rental market, with high net-worth individuals seeking spacious living options.
