Hillcrest by Nshama: Apartments in Town Square from AED 980K
Hillcrest is a residential apartment project by Nshama, located inside Town Square, Dubai. Nshama developed Town Square as a master community, so this launch is the developer expanding within its own planned district. You are buying into an area shaped, maintained, and continued by the same company.
Town Square: What Living Here Actually Means
Town Square occupies Dubai's southern residential corridor, off Al Qudra Road. It is around 25 to 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Business Bay in normal traffic conditions. The community is built around a central park with a retail spine, cycle paths, and open space as part of the master plan layout.
The self-contained design works well for family buyers. Dining and recreational facilities are within the district. For a commuter or investor targeting tenant demand from young professionals, the distance from Dubai's metro network is the real trade-off. You need a car. That narrows your potential tenant pool and affects resale liquidity compared to a transit-connected address.
Town Square sits close to Al Maktoum Airport and the Expo City corridor in Dubai's south. For buyers with a long horizon, the southern district's infrastructure is a relevant factor in the investment thesis.
What AED 980K to AED 1.4M Buys You Here
Apartments at Hillcrest are priced from AED 980,888 to AED 1,400,000. The AED 420K spread across the range points to differences in unit size or floor positioning.
The sub-AED 1M entry is notable. At the low end, you are likely looking at one-bedroom units or compact two-bedroom layouts. The AED 1.4M ceiling suggests larger two-bedrooms or higher-floor units with upgraded views.
For an investor, the entry-level units are the more liquid proposition. Families renting in Town Square target practical, family-sized layouts, which skew toward the upper half of this range.
Getting In: The 50/50 Payment Plan
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| During construction | 50% |
| At handover | 50% |
The 50/50 plan splits the cost evenly between the build period and handover. Half is paid across the construction period from March 2025 to June 2027, and the remaining half is due when you collect keys. Your full financial commitment completes at that point.
This structure suits buyers who can manage the full outlay without deferring payments past handover. Your balance sheet is clear from day one of ownership.
Completion in Mid-2027: What That Means Now
Construction started in March 2025. Completion is expected by June 2027. From today, that is roughly 12 months out. Buyers entering at this stage are past the groundbreaking phase. The handover horizon is concrete, which helps with mortgage approval timing and rental strategy preparation.
Amenities and the Resident Profile
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Sport | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool, Tennis Courts, Cycle track |
| Community and Family | Children's Play Area, Barbecue Area, Mosque |
| Services and Food | Restaurants, Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services |
The nine amenities weight toward active use and family convenience. The cycle track connects to Town Square's wider cycling infrastructure. The laundry and dry cleaning service adds practical day-to-day convenience for residents.
This is not a pool-deck-and-concierge amenity set. The mix targets a resident who values functional, family-oriented facilities over hotel-style extras. If your rental strategy targets families on longer leases, this amenity package and the broader Town Square environment are well matched to that profile. Short-stay tenants and single professionals are less obviously the target resident here.
