The Meadows is the family upgrade within Emirates Living: standalone 3- to 7-bed villas on proper plots, mature trees, lake loops and the same Marina-adjacent geography as The Springs at twice the scale. It suits established families who outgrew townhouses but want to stay in the school-and-commute sweet spot. It doesn't suit yield buyers. What to watch: villa type and lake backing dominate value; original-condition stock is a renovation project priced accordingly. , Equity Edge analyst note

The buildings of The Meadows, by the registered numbers
The median registered sale price for a The Meadows villa is AED 4.36M (385 DLD-registered sales, 12 months to Sep 2026), or AED 1,675/sqft.
What villa sizes exist in The Meadows?
Nine enclaves of standalone villas from ~3,000 to 7,000+ sqft on plots the newer communities rarely match. Type codes (like Springs) plus plot and lake position set the price, two identical types can differ by millions on position alone.
Why do families pay the Meadows premium over newer villa communities?
Twenty years of trees, walkable lakes, gate-to-gate community culture, and Emirates International School plus the Springs Souk cluster on the doorstep, with the Marina ten minutes away. Newer masterplans promise that maturity; the Meadows has it.
Is Meadows stock renovated?
Split market: fully modernised villas (open kitchens, new MEP) trade at strong premiums, while original-condition homes attract renovators pricing works at AED 300-800+/sqft. We inspect condition before valuing, the spread is too wide to average.
