The Greens Dubai: apartments, schools and moving in (2026)
The Greens Dubai suits households prioritising low-rise apartments near Dubai's office districts. Its asking median was AED 1,600,000 in Property Finder's Greens snapshot, accessed 8 October 2026, with Buy / All property types / All bedrooms selected. Nearby The Views has a different housing fabric, and its market figures stay separate.

What is The Greens?
The Greens is an established apartment community whose low-rise complex layout is its clearest household distinction. Property Finder's area description, accessed 8 October 2026, identifies 40 buildings across 10 apartment complexes along First Al Khail Street, next to Barsha Heights and The Views.
The named complexes make the area easier to evaluate at the address level:
Source: withlida.com, 8 October 2026. Names and classification: Property Finder's Greens description, accessed 8 October 2026. These are identity labels, not price bands or service-charge groupings.
For a household comparing homes, the useful unit of comparison is the complex, building and apartment together. Layout, outlook, parking allocation and access to shared facilities belong in that home's document file. The area name alone cannot settle those details.
Emaar's setting description, accessed 8 October 2026, places the wider Greens & Views master community beside Sheikh Zayed Road and names access to Dubai Internet City and Media City. That geographic setting supports the area shortlist for office-based households; it does not specify their commute duration.
How is The Greens different from The Views?
The distinction is the housing fabric: The Greens has low-rise apartment complexes, while Emaar describes The Views as mid- and high-rise towers, townhouses and apartments overlooking waterways, with some homes facing Emirates Golf Club. Property Finder's Greens description and Emaar's Views description, accessed 8 October 2026.
Emaar's paragraph beginning with The Views also describes swimming pools and decks, gymnasiums, mini sports courts, play areas and barbecue facilities. The subsequent streetscape, walkway, lake and retail discussion sits within the combined Greens & Views setting. Those broader descriptions establish neighbourhood context; the relevant building documents establish which facilities a household can use.
The Greens Souk gives the comparison a concrete daily anchor: Emaar names a supermarket, restaurants and coffee shops there, and places Emaar Business Park nearby, as of October 2026. A household centred on local errands can assess its route to that retail centre alongside its office and school journeys. A household centred on tower living or a waterway outlook can make The Views its corresponding housing comparison, using a separate set of market records.
The Emaar community landing page, accessed 8 October 2026, is headed The Greens and Views despite its shorter URL. Its home, building and resident totals therefore describe the combined community. They are not totals for The Greens alone.
What does the housing evidence show?
The available market evidence is a dated asking snapshot for Greens, which provides an area-level starting point rather than the price of a particular apartment. The exact selections were Buy / All property types / All bedrooms on Property Finder, accessed 8 October 2026.
Source: withlida.com, 8 October 2026. Property Finder, Greens market overview, snapshot accessed 8 October 2026, Buy / All property types / All bedrooms. Portal abbreviations have been expanded into AED amounts without changing their values.
An asking median is the middle price in the selected advertised stock. A transaction record shows a completed sale, and an apartment-only comparison narrows the property type. Those are different measures. The all-property, all-bedroom median cannot be relabelled a transacted apartment average, and it cannot set the rent for a household's shortlisted home.
For a tenant, the rent amount, payment schedule and any agreed deposits need their own dated contract record. For a household comparing ownership costs, the apartment's approved service-charge record is an additional input. Neither can be filled with a figure from The Views or inferred from the asking median.
How do school access and fees work?
Regent International provides a documented school option at The Greens, with a UK curriculum listing covering FS 1 to Year 13. FS means Foundation Stage, the early-years phase before primary school. KHDA, Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority, lists the curriculum as UK (13 Y) and the overall inspection rating as Very good, 2023-2024, checked 8 October 2026. That is a historical inspection result, not a newly issued 2026 rating.
The school's own address is Emaar's The Greens in Emirates Living, on First Al Khail Street. KHDA's location field reads al barsha second. Both records were accessed 8 October 2026; the school address identifies the campus for a household's route comparison.
Source: withlida.com, 8 October 2026. Regent International's tuition schedule, academic year 2026-27, accessed 8 October 2026. The Years 7 to 11 range uses the published Year 7 and Year 11 endpoints; the exact year has its own fee.
As of October 2026, Regent's fee page also states an AED 525 non-refundable application fee for new students, including assessment, and an acceptance payment of 10% of tuition, deducted from tuition due in the joining term. The acceptance payment therefore affects the payment schedule rather than adding the same amount again to annual tuition. Uniforms, educational visits and optional third-party transport, dining and activities have separate charges. Regent, current fee conditions, checked 8 October 2026.
For a household prioritising continuity through school phases, the listed grade coverage is a useful fit signal. Admission, the child's exact year, the current fee factsheet and the journey from the selected building remain separate confirmations. Residence in either community does not establish a school place.
How does transport connect The Greens?
F35 connects Mall of Emirates Bus Station and The Greens in RTA's English route table, retrieved 8 October 2026. The table supplies endpoints, so it supports that connection without establishing a timetable, an intermediate stop or a uniform walk from every building. RTA Bus Route Service List.
Source: withlida.com, 8 October 2026. RTA's English endpoint table, retrieved 8 October 2026; Emaar's combined-community setting, accessed 8 October 2026. The visible route table does not print an issue date; retrieval is not evidence of a route revision that day.
A household whose office and school are in different directions has two recurring journeys to compare. The home's entrance, the usable stop or station entrance, and each destination belong in the same route check. A district-level description cannot supply one walking distance or one commute time for all of them.
What must a household budget?
AED 2,155 is the scoped DEWA flat setup subtotal for the refundable deposit and standard small-meter activation items, using the official schedule as of October 2026. DEWA is Dubai's electricity and water authority. The calculation below covers that utility setup only. DEWA's activation service, accessed 8 October 2026.
Source: withlida.com, 8 October 2026. DEWA's official service-fee schedule, as of October 2026. Standard small-meter example, before any customer-specific concession; confirm the meter category. The subtotal is not the full cost of moving.
Source: withlida.com, 8 October 2026. Budget framework from DEWA's scoped activation schedule, Regent's 2026-27 fee page and Emaar's permit information, all accessed 8 October 2026. Home- and provider-specific amounts remain to be supplied by their own records.
For an owner, service charges are a further building-specific record for shared property costs. DLD's Service Charge Index has a budget-year selection; its official procedure describes selecting the project, use and year to view RERA-approved charges, as of October 2026. DLD is Dubai Land Department; RERA is its real estate regulator.
The project name, residential use and relevant budget year need to match the property's records. The publication's service-charge guide explains how to read the returned components and annual cost. A rate from another project or year does not establish this apartment's bill, so this guide supplies no community-wide charge or yield estimate.
What must a household arrange before moving?
The move requires separate tenancy, utility and community records. Ejari, Dubai's tenancy-registration system, records the lease; DEWA activates electricity and water; Emaar Community Management handles its community permit. As of October 2026, Emaar's landing page describes four stages for the permit application and states one business day for permit processing. That stated scope belongs to the community permit, not to completion of the whole relocation. Emaar's move-in information, accessed 8 October 2026.
Record the tenancy
Keep the signed contract and its Ejari certificate together. DEWA's current service description explains that covered Ejari leasing contracts pass customer and property information into its account process. The tenancy registration and the utility record still evidence different events. DEWA, as of October 2026.
Complete the utility setup
For the integrated tenant route, DEWA describes a welcome notification with the account, deposit details and payment link, followed by payment of the deposit and activation charges. Owner cases use DEWA's digital application route. Retain the utility payment and activation records separately from the lease and permit. The DEWA move-in calendar explains that sequence. DEWA, as of October 2026.
Apply for the community permit
Emaar's community page links its application: enter applicant details, select the community, provide property information and upload the requested documents. Confirm the selected building, move date and current application requirements with the operator. Retain the issued permit as its own record; Ejari and a utility receipt do not replace it. Emaar Community Management, as of October 2026.
The household's calendar can then distinguish the lease start, utility activation and authorised community move date. School admission and any separate cooling account sit beside those dates with their own evidence, rather than being treated as part of Emaar's stated permit-processing period.
