The Cities (Studio, Motor, Sports) Area Guide

Discover Dubai’s Trio of Dynamic Neighbourhoods: Studio City, Motor City & Sports City

Dubai’s “City” trio — Studio City, Motor City, and Sports City — are neighbouring communities that together form one of the city’s most vibrant and well-balanced residential zones. Each area has its own character: Studio City thrives on creativity and media production, Motor City blends lifestyle with an automotive heritage, and Sports City is built around fitness, wellness, and world-class sporting facilities. Together, they create a hub that perfectly represents modern Dubai living — active, connected, and community-focused.

Dubai Studio City: The Creative Hub

Dubai Studio City is the beating heart of the region’s film, TV, and media production industry. Designed as a global media hub, it’s home to production houses, sound stages, recording studios, and creative agencies. Beyond its professional appeal, Studio City has become an increasingly popular residential choice thanks to its calm environment, sleek apartment buildings, and proximity to Dubai’s entertainment hotspots.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Studio City offers a blend of modern apartments with amenities such as pools, gyms, and cafés, often within walking distance. The community has a relaxed, creative energy, making it ideal for young professionals and entrepreneurs in the media, design, and tech sectors.

Nearby attractions include Dubai Autodrome, Global Village, and Dubai Miracle Garden, offering plenty to do on weekends. For shopping and dining, residents are a short drive away from First Avenue Mall and My City Centre Al Barsha, while major roads like Hessa Street and Umm Suqeim Road connect Studio City easily to Dubai Marina, Downtown, and the rest of the city.

Motor City: Where Lifestyle Meets Legacy

Motor City is one of Dubai’s most distinctive and family-friendly communities, inspired by a passion for cars, motorsport, and community living. Developed by Union Properties, it combines a rich motorsport heritage with lush greenery, pedestrian-friendly streets, and an easy-going suburban atmosphere.

Residential Options

Motor City offers a wide variety of living options — from spacious apartments to townhouses and villas. The architecture reflects a European style, with wide boulevards and low-rise buildings creating a peaceful environment.

Amenities & Lifestyle

One of Motor City’s main highlights is the Dubai Autodrome, the UAE’s first fully integrated motorsport facility. Beyond racing, the area offers an excellent lifestyle mix — supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, gyms, and schools are all within reach. First Avenue Mall serves as the main retail and dining hub, while green parks and walking tracks make it ideal for families and pet owners.

Families also have access to top schools such as Victory Heights Primary School, GEMS Metropole, and Nord Anglia International School, all just minutes away.

Dubai Sports City: Built for the Active Lifestyle

True to its name, Dubai Sports City is a community dedicated to health, fitness, and recreation. It’s a haven for sports enthusiasts — whether you’re into cricket, football, golf, or gym training. The area was designed around world-class sporting facilities and has grown into a well-established residential neighbourhood offering great value and lifestyle convenience.

Key Highlights & Amenities

Sports City is home to the ICC Academy, The Els Club Golf Course, and numerous sports academies for football, rugby, and tennis. The community has plenty of gyms, fitness centres, and walking trails, encouraging an active lifestyle.

Residential options include contemporary apartment complexes and villa clusters such as Victory Heights, known for its family-friendly environment and lush landscaping. There are also numerous retail outlets, supermarkets, and casual dining options across the community, with Canal Residence serving as a local hub for residents.

Sports City’s location makes it well-connected to major destinations — just 10 minutes from Motor City, 15 minutes from Dubai Hills, and 20 minutes from both JBR and Downtown Dubai. The proximity to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Hessa Street ensures smooth commutes.
