Five-story apartments by the lake, with dog walkers out on the lakeside path
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The Greens is a low-rise community of five-story apartment buildings, built along one side of the man-made lake at the heart of the community. A paved path runs all the way around the lake, and the community is pet-friendly—you'll often see people walking their dogs along it.
This side of the lake is lined with ochre- and yellow-colored low-rise blocks, while the high-rises of The Views sit across the water. The two sides were developed separately, but residents of the towers treat the green space by the lake as their own front yard too. People here are often described as long-term professionals and families, and neighbors know each other.
Going by our scores, The Greens ranks 1st out of 20 Dubai neighborhoods for greenery and 2nd for sidewalks—besides the path around the lake, the streets inside the community are also pleasant to walk.
On the low-rise side, every four buildings share a temperature-controlled pool, plus a gym, a kids' play area, and a barbecue area. The Greens Souk, the community center, has a supermarket, pharmacy, bank, and dry cleaner, and most of the restaurants are here too.
The community is home to Regent International School, which follows the British curriculum from FS1 through Year 13. For medical care there are clinics and pharmacies within the community, though you'll need to go to Al Barsha for a hospital.
Going by our scores, The Greens ranks 12th out of 20 Dubai neighborhoods for transit. There's no metro station inside the community—you'd need to go to the nearby Dubai Internet City or Al Khail stations on the Red Line—but there are two shuttle buses, F31 and F35. The Views side doesn't have its own bus route.
Each unit comes with just one dedicated parking spot, so a second car has to park on the street, and street parking gets hard to find in the evening. The commute to Business Bay or Downtown Dubai is often estimated at 35 to 45 minutes during peak hours.
The Greens was launched by Emaar in 2001, with the first phase completed in 2003, making it one of Dubai's earliest freehold residential communities. That first phase consisted of 40 five-story apartment buildings, grouped into 10 clusters.
As demand grew after completion, the residential towers of The Views were built next, across the lake. These towers face the 36-hole Emirates Golf Course and the lake in between.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
