Villanova: La Tilia

About Villanova

La Tilia is the newest phase of Villanova, Dubai Holding’s Mediterranean-style family community in Dubailand. Earlier phases, among them La Quinta, Amaranta, La Rosa and La Violeta, are complete; the photos here show those earlier phases.

My take

• Suits: Families who want a settled community with schools and shops already open.
• What I'd check: The rest of Villanova is built. A ready home there rents for about AED 165,000 a year, which helps you judge the price.

What's there

• Parks and a linear park
• Swimming pool
• Sports courts
• Running and cycling tracks
• Mosque and kids’ play areas
