About this active lifestyle suburban community
Dubai Sports City is a mixed-use community themed around sport and active living. It houses the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the Els Club golf course, and multiple academies for cricket, football, hockey, swimming, and tennis.

The community offers very affordable rents in modern buildings, many with views of the cricket stadium or golf course. It has a quiet, family-oriented atmosphere with wide boulevards, parks, and sports facilities integrated into daily life.
The trade-off is connectivity: Sports City is far from the metro and the beach. Commutes to DIFC or Downtown can be long during peak hours. However, for those who work from home or in the surrounding areas (Motor City, Studio City), it's an excellent value proposition.
