Living in Tilal Al Ghaf
Tilal Al Ghaf is a lagoon with a community built around it. Majid Al Futtaim, the group behind the city's malls, made it their first residential master plan, and the decisions show: a swimmable lagoon at the centre with a beach on its shore, ghaf trees along the streets, a walkable core, and houses rather than towers. It sits on the Dubailand side of Hessa Street, beside Dubai Sports City and across the road from Damac Hills, and it is still being built, which is the most important thing to know about it. The name is Arabic for "the hills of the ghaf", the drought-hardy tree of the sands that is the country's national tree and lines the community's streets.
The place
The community lies beside Dubai Sports City, with Damac Hills and Motor City across Hessa Street and the larger malls of the district, including one of the developer's own, a short drive. The lagoon is the centre of everything. A long stretch of clear water with a sand beach, a promenade and the community's cafes along its edge, it is the reason most buyers came and the reason the homes nearest to it command what they do. Around it the community is laid out in named neighbourhoods of townhouses and villas on quiet streets, with parks and cycle paths between them and the ghaf, the country's national tree, planted along the roads.
What you get
Townhouses and villas only. There are no apartment towers here, and none are planned in the parts of the community sold so far. The townhouses come in the developer's standard layouts in the neighbourhoods furthest from the water; the villas range from family houses on internal streets to large plots on the lagoon's edge and, on its own island, a small number of mansions that are among the dearest homes on the city's inland side.
Getting around
Tilal Al Ghaf is a driving community. Hessa Street and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street connect it to the city, with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road close by. The Marina and the Media City offices are a manageable commute outside the peak, Downtown is longer, and the airport is a long run. There is no Metro and no tram, and none are near.
Day to day
A school opened inside the community early, which mattered more than any other single thing to the families who moved in first, and nurseries followed. Sports City's schools are next door. The town centre has a supermarket and cafes, the lagoon has its beach club and its promenade, and the parks carry the playgrounds and the sports courts. For most other shopping residents drive to the malls of the surrounding district.
Who it suits
Families who want a new house with a garden in a finished-feeling community that is still young, and who value the lagoon over a golf course. Buyers comparing the newer villa communities on this side of the city, Arabian Ranches Three, Damac Hills, Mudon and the Valley among them, who want a single developer's consistency. Owners who intend to hold rather than let, because most homes here are lived in by the people who bought them.
