Tilal Al Ghaf

The Headline

Tilal Al Ghaf is one of Dubai’s most talked-about new communities - and for good reason. Developed by Majid Al Futtaim, it’s a master-planned neighbourhood designed around people, not just properties. At the heart of the development is a manmade lagoon with sandy beaches, surrounded by parks, schools, and thoughtfully designed villas and townhouses. With a strong focus on walkability, greenery, and lifestyle, Tilal Al Ghaf is attracting families who want more than square footage - they want a neighbourhood built with intention. While still under development, the vision is clear: this is suburban living reimagined for the next generation.

Fresh, optimistic, and full of promise. The neighbourhood is modern but warm - young families out on scooters, neighbours chatting on front porches, paddleboards on the lagoon. It feels like a community that’s already emotionally invested in its own future.

Housing types & architecture

Contemporary villas and townhouses with open-plan layouts, clean architectural lines, and a focus on indoor-outdoor living. Homes are built around green corridors and walkable parks, with car access tucked discreetly to the back. Premium neighbourhoods like Harmony and Serenity offer larger plots, bespoke design options, and a more private, elevated experience.

Insider tip from KR

The best homes back onto green corridors or the lagoon’s edge, offering peace, privacy, and beautiful views. If walkability matters to you, prioritise being within easy reach of the Hive community hub and the Royal Grammar School.
