Economic Appeal

Golf Gardens offers freehold ownership to UAE nationals only, giving the country's citizens the right to benefit from 100% ownership of the property and the land it is built on. With that in mind, the property can be sold, leased, or occupied at the owner’s will. Homeowners in Golf Gardens can use their villa/townhouse not only for residential purposes but also to generate a passive income. The gated development features an array of residential options for real estate buyers and tenants to select from, such as 4 separate styles of 3-6 bedroom villas with private swimming pools (Gardenia, Narjis, Orchid and Lailak), as well as 2 styles of 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses (Jouri and Khuzama). All the developments in Golf Gardens were completed in 2009 and are ready to move in.

Although foreigners are not allowed to purchase a property in Golf Gardens, they can rent and live there with their families. Those living in Golf Gardens will be able to benefit from the excellent public transport infrastructure, with the Golf Gardens Bus Stop located right within the community. The luxury residential community is set within a 10-minute drive from some of the leading academic institutions in Abu Dhabi, including Al Yasmina Academy, GEMS American Academy and Raha International School.

Thanks to its luscious leafy spaces and top-notch amenities mentioned earlier, Golf Gardens was one of the top popular areas for luxury villa rentals and purchases in 2021, according to Bayut & dubizzle.
