The Heights Country Club or The Oasis: which suits a family?
Short answer
They suit different budgets and timelines. The Heights Country Club starts from AED 2.4 million, hands over its latest phases in 2030, and its prices were flat over 12 months. The Oasis is a premium community where the average listed home is about AED 18.7 million, prices rose 7.52% in 12 months, and the first villas were due from late 2026. If your family needs to move in before 2030, you will find more choice at The Oasis or in ready communities.

What the numbers mean for a family
Timing comes first. If your family needs to move in before 2030, you have limited choice at The Heights, where the latest phases hand over in 2030. The Oasis launched earlier, in June 2023. Its first villas were scheduled for late 2026, although one broker now cites Q4 2027.
Budget comes second. The Heights starts at AED 2.4 million. The Oasis sits in a different price bracket, with an average listed home near AED 18.7 million.
Prices are moving differently. Listings at The Oasis rose 7.52% in 12 months, while The Heights stayed flat. A flat trend can give you more room to negotiate on resale units.
What to check for a specific villa
- The SPA completion date and grace period for the exact cluster.
- The asking price against registered sales of the same villa type in the same phase.
- The drive to the schools your children will attend, timed at school-run hours.

Has The Oasis been delayed?
Possibly. Palmiera, the first release at The Oasis, had an original completion estimate of November 2026. One broker now cites Q4 2027. Emaar has not published a revised date in the sources reviewed, so treat Q4 2027 as unconfirmed.
