A large, mostly low-rise suburban district on Abu Dhabi's mainland, Khalifa City is known for spacious villa compounds, wide streets and a strong concentration of international schools, sitting between the city centre and Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The community suits families prioritising space and good schools over a central or waterfront address, with villas making up the bulk of the housing stock at generally more accessible prices than the emirate's island communities. Its scale and school options have made it one of the most popular family suburbs for both Emirati and expatriate households.
