Living and investing in DAMAC Hills 2 (Akoya by DAMAC)
DAMAC Hills 2 exists to answer one question: where can you still buy a house with a garden in Dubai without a villa budget? Launched by DAMAC as Akoya Oxygen and later rebranded, the community sits on the city's southern edge and was planned as a self contained town, with thousands of townhouses and villas plus apartment buildings for smaller budgets. Instead of proximity to the centre, it sells a complete package: water attractions, sports facilities, supermarkets and green boulevards inside the gates. Buyers comparing DAMAC Hills 2 properties for sale should not confuse it with the older DAMAC Hills next to the golf course, which sits closer to the city in a higher price bracket.
Location and connectivity
DAMAC Hills 2 lies in southern Dubai between Jebel Ali - Lehbab Road (E77) and Al Ain Road (E66), with additional access via Al Qudra Road. Downtown Dubai takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes by car depending on traffic, while the southern growth corridor around Expo City and Al Maktoum International Airport is considerably closer. There is no metro link, so a car is not optional here. In exchange, daily life stays local: supermarkets, school buses, clinics and sports courts operate inside the community, turning the drive into town into an occasional trip rather than a routine.
Life around the lazy river
The centrepiece of DAMAC Hills 2 is water. The man made Malibu Beach with its wave pool and a lazy river turn weekends into resort days without leaving the community, and they are backed by football pitches, cricket grounds, tennis courts and long green boulevards for cycling. DAMAC keeps building out themed zones, from Water Town to Sports Town to a growing Down Town with retail and dining, and the cycling routes and desert lakes of the Al Qudra area lie a short drive beyond the gates. The crowd is family oriented and internationally mixed, and the atmosphere is more neighbourhood barbecue than nightlife. Anyone who needs rooftop bars nearby will be unhappy here; anyone who wants kids cycling to the playground will not.
Who is DAMAC Hills 2 right for?
DAMAC Hills 2 suits families and first time buyers stepping up from an apartment to a townhouse, and buyers for whom space beats postcode. Investors look at the community because entry prices rank among the lowest in Dubai's house market and tenant demand comes from families making exactly the same calculation. The honest caveats: the distance is real, resale performance varies sharply by cluster and build quality, and some rows of the masterplan have aged better than others. Noble Assets Properties will tell you frankly which streets inside the community deserve your money and which do not.

DAMAC Hills is the older sister community around the Trump International Golf Club, closer to the city and in a higher price bracket. DAMAC Hills 2 sits further out and focuses on affordable townhouses rather than golf villas. Same developer, clearly different target groups and budgets.
What properties are for sale in DAMAC Hills 2?

Both ready homes and off plan phases are on the market, since DAMAC continues to expand the community. Prices sit well below comparable homes in central Dubai communities.
Is DAMAC Hills 2 a good investment?
Investors are drawn by some of the lowest house entry prices in Dubai combined with steady rental demand from families seeking space on a budget. Amenities such as Malibu Beach, the lazy river and sports facilities support tenant appeal. Returns vary noticeably by cluster and build quality, so selection inside the community matters more than the headline location.
