The presence and quality of community amenities have become a significant factor in UAE property valuations. Developments with premium facilities like private beaches, golf courses, or international schools typically maintain 15-20% higher values compared to similar properties without these features. Gated communities such as Emirates Hills set early benchmarks that newer projects now emulate.
