About Zulal 1

Zulal 1 is a residential enclave within The Lakes, a master community in Emirates Living. Set around landscaped waterways and pocket parks, it offers a calm, family‑oriented environment with easy access to main city arteries such as First Al Khail Street and Sheikh Zayed Road. The neighbourhood sits close to Dubai Marina, Media City and Internet City, while two championship golf courses lie a short drive away. Homes in Zulal 1 are primarily two‑storey villas in 3 and 4‑bedroom layouts. Typical floor plans feature open living and dining areas on the ground level with kitchens, study or maid’s rooms in some configurations, and en‑suite bedrooms upstairs with built‑in wardrobes and balconies. Many plots include private gardens, and each villa has covered parking; select homes enjoy lake outlooks. The sub‑district’s internal streets are quiet, walkable and linked to a community park. Day‑to‑day living is supported by nearby schools, supermarkets and clinics within the wider Emirates Living area, while residents of The Lakes benefit from a dedicated club offering gyms, swimming pools, racquet courts and casual dining, alongside playgrounds, barbecue areas and communal green space. Weekend leisure is bolstered by proximity to Emirates Golf Club and Montgomerie Golf Club, as well as coastal destinations such as Dubai Marina and JBR reached in a short drive. Connectivity is straightforward by car via First Al Khail Street, with rapid links to E11. Public transport is more limited within the community, but bus services operate from nearby stops, and the closest metro stations include Dubai Internet City and Sobha Realty, both a short drive away. This combination of suburban tranquillity, established amenities and central connectivity makes Zulal 1 a sought‑after option for families seeking villa living in a mature, well‑managed setting.

150 villas: 150 three-beds of 2,233 to 3,070 sqft. The service charge is AED 4.14 per sqft a year.
