The Greens

The Headline

The Greens is one of Dubai’s most established residential communities, known for its low-rise buildings, mature landscaping, and strong sense of community. Tucked just off Sheikh Zayed Road, it offers a peaceful, walkable lifestyle that feels worlds away from the city’s high-rises and fast pace. The neighbourhood centres around a lake and shaded walking paths, with cafés, small grocers, salons, and gyms all within easy reach. It’s especially popular with long-term residents who value location, calm, and a home that doesn’t need to shout. For those who want something grounded and liveable, The Greens offers quiet confidence.

Insider tip from KR

The community pool and barbecue areas behind Al Arta are some of the quietest and most family-friendly spots in The Greens. If you value walkability and greenery, this is one of Dubai’s few true low-rise gems.
