Dubailand is a large district, not one neighbourhood. The projects we list run from under 2 km to nearly 19 km from its centre. Most of the flats sit in one cluster 2 to 3 km out, and the villa and townhouse estates are spread across the rest.

2027 and 2028when most of the projects we list are due
13small courtyard parks within 2 km of the centre
2 kmto GEMS First Point School, British curriculum
People buy flats here for low entry prices on new studios and 1-beds, and families buy for the townhouse and villa estates. Most of the projects we list are due in 2027 and 2028, so many neighbours will still be building when you move in. You will need a car: the nearest metro station and Downtown Dubai are both about 15 to 16 km away in a straight line.

Walk
There is no single large park. Instead there are small courtyard parks: 13 within 2 km of the centre in a straight line, most of them numbered courtyards, several of them in Centro. Good for a short walk or a play area, not a long run.

0.4 km
The closest of the courtyard parks to the centre, one of four within 1 km.
Circle park
0.6 km
Another small neighbourhood park close to the centre.

Most projects
Nearly three quarters of the projects we list mention a pool. If a gym or play area matters to you, check that it is on the plans for your building.
