00:00And when we visited Dubai Hills, we realized it was close to a lot of things in Dubai.
00:06We are 20 minutes from almost everywhere.
00:12I lived in Dubai Hills for around one year and a half.
00:16We moved because we liked the community.
00:21We visited and we liked it.
00:23It's me, my son and my husband, only the three of us.
00:27And we decided to look for a townhouse.
00:29And when we visited Dubai Hills, we realized it was close to a lot of things in Dubai.
00:36We are 20 minutes from almost everywhere.
00:39And it's really nice.
00:41For instance, I want to go to the Mall of the Emirates.
00:43I'll take 15-20 minutes depending on the time of the day.
00:47If I want to go to Kite Beach, everyone knows Kite Beach.
00:50And it's 20 minutes, 25 if we get traffic.
00:54If we want to go to the other side of the city, like Dubai Mall for instance, it's 20 minutes.
01:01So, it's really nice.
01:04And the other thing was my son was already in one of the schools here.
01:08One of the gyms.
01:10We have three gym schools here inside the community.
01:14And it made everything easier.
01:17So, we have the schools.
01:20And then we had also the King's Hospital.
01:24It's also inside the community.
01:27It has a lot of things.
01:28We have Dubai Hills Mall.
01:31It just opened.
01:33We have a gas station.
01:37A lot of parks for the kids.
01:40Each community here inside, we have a pool.
01:44We have a small gym.
01:48And a lot of gardens with a lot of things for the kids to do.
01:52Basketball courts.
01:54Tennis courts.
01:57And you know those things where the small kids hang themselves in.
02:01I don't know the name, but those things.
02:04And close to the apartments on the other side, there's the big buildings.
02:09And there's a huge park, a community park, with a lot of entertainment for old ages.
02:15I moved to this Dubai Hills community two years ago.
02:18And I would say from the time I moved in, it was an amazing experience.
02:24One side, I am sitting on appreciation in terms of the price I bought it and where it is today.
02:31But for me, the bigger benefit is where I see my kids becoming more social.
02:36Because of the really clear community aspect that is there in Dubai Hills State.
02:42Where my kids can go out on their own, play around, have fun and enjoy their lives.
02:47This is one of the reasons which I consider even more bigger of my decision moving to Dubai Hills compared to any other aspect.
02:56So living in Dubai for almost 12 years, 9 years of my life, I was living in downtown in an apartment.
03:02Which was a 3 bedroom apartment and of course had a limited space to move around.
03:07So one of the decisions moving to Dubai Hills was I needed a space where my kids could go out, learn that aspect of life where how I've grown up in my life.
03:18So with that aspect, Dubai Hills was one of the best choices available because of the community and the open spaces.
03:25So just a 2 minutes walk, gym area and if you just walk down 5 minutes on the other direction, you have basketball courts.
03:32You've got tennis areas, you've got other areas.
03:36And then I also see this benefiting my children because just right coming out of COVID, physical activity is much more needed now.
03:43I moved here 2 years back in September 2020 and this was a new place handed over to us by EMAR.
03:51I built the community groups here, started with myself as an individual, wanted to socialize and bring the community together.
04:02I added about 1300 members on WhatsApp and over 2200 members on Facebook.
04:10I got all the nationalities together and created a good cultural mix within the community.
04:19I love the community, it's home for me since the last 2 years and will be in the future.
04:26I love its connectivity, how it's connected to other parts of Dubai and the location, the amenities and to top it up, the community members.
