Dubai Sports City is a residential community in Dubailand, along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, built around sports venues. It is close to Motor City, JVC and Arjan.

What Sports City is like

  • Sports venues — a cricket stadium, sports academies and The Els Club golf course
  • Mostly apartment buildings, plus villa communities nearby such as Victory Heights
  • A quieter, residential feel compared with central Dubai

    • Getting around

  • Road access via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Hessa Street
  • Short drives to JVC, Motor City, Arjan and Al Barsha South
  • No Metro station inside the community, so most residents drive

    • Who Sports City suits

  • People who love sport and golf
  • Couples and small families looking for a calmer area
  • Those who want to be near JVC and Motor City without being in the middle of them

    • Before you rent in Sports City

  • Commute — check your route at rush hour
  • Building condition — buildings vary in age; look closely at AC and plumbing
  • Cooling — ask whether it is chiller-free ([what this means](/blog/chiller-free-vs-district-cooling-dubai))
  • Shops nearby — check the nearest supermarket and pharmacy
  • Use our [property viewing checklist](/blog/property-viewing-checklist-dubai)

    • Comparing areas? Read [living in JVC](/blog/living-in-jvc-guide) and [the Arjan area guide](/blog/arjan-area-guide), or browse [homes for rent](/rent).
