Living Legends Property Guide

The Area: Dubailand

Living Legends is part of Dubailand, a vast district in the south-east of Dubai that was first imagined as a home for theme parks and leisure attractions. Today it is one of the city’s main family districts, made up of separate gated communities, each with its own developer, architectural style and character, and each offering homes with gardens, green open space and a relaxed pace of life.

Dubailand sits right in the path of Dubai’s growth. The city’s population has reached around 4.8 million, up from 3.3 million at the end of 2020, and grew by more than 225,000 people in the first nine months of 2026 alone. The Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan prepares the city for 5.8 million residents and names nearby Dubai Silicon Oasis as one of the city’s new urban centres. As Dubai expands inland, new roads, schools, shopping centres and metro lines are arriving to serve this growing population, and the area around Living Legends is right at the heart of that expansion.

Living Legends

Living Legends is a gated golf community spread across around 14 million sq ft, built around its own nine-hole golf course designed by the renowned course architect Peter Harradine, complete with a driving range and clubhouse. Spacious villas line the fairways and landscaped streets, while a collection of residential towers adds apartments with views over the greens and the city skyline.

The community offers everything for daily life: a retail centre with a Carrefour supermarket, a nursery, a primary school, a mosque, a community clinic, swimming pools, gyms, children’s play areas and sports courts. The villas and many of the towers are complete and lived in, while newer towers are being delivered, giving buyers a choice of ready homes and off-plan opportunities.

Master Developer

Living Legends was developed by Tanmiyat Group, a Saudi developer, which planned the master community, built its golf course, infrastructure and villas and delivered the first phases. Residential towers within the community are being completed by private developers, such as Dawn Real Estate Development with Rapunzel Tower and KOA with the design-led KOA Canvas, adding fresh choice and new amenities to the established community.

Living Legends enjoys a central Dubailand location just off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, close to Al Ain Road and Emirates Road.
