The Bottom Line
DAMAC Hills 2 - Basswood is a gated villa and townhouse cluster in Damac Hills that appeals most to families wanting a quieter suburban home. You can use the pool and park area, and later reviews mention a newer pool area plus a decent central mall inside the wider township. The atmosphere is a strong point.
Residents describe a peaceful, green and clean setting with children, family life and even friendly furry companions. One long-term resident also praised regular security rounds and guards’ help during emergencies. That makes the community feel more settled than a typical standalone villa development.
The trade-off is location. Reviews repeatedly call it far, and there is no bus or metro, so a car is effectively essential. Shopping nearby appears limited; one resident could not find a gas station or cafeteria locally, while another found the Carrefour market expensive.
Allow extra time for commuting and errands. Check the exact unit carefully before renting or buying. Small rooms, compact villas and awkward layouts come up repeatedly, although some residents consider the space affordable and good value compared with an apartment.
Also confirm which amenities are currently open, since older reviews recorded the pool and park as still under construction.
