There are nearly 300 buildings including more than 26,000 apartments, 200 retail shops, and three medical centres.[1] The area has been developed by Nakheel Properties.[2] It was established in 2008 and lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Emirates Road.[3] The locality is close to Al Furjan, Jebel Ali Village, and The Gardens. The area is also near the Expo 2020 site.[4] It has been described as "The greenest area of New Dubai" due to the gardens that surround it.[5]

In 2012, there was security issues at Discovery Gardens.[6] In 2013, the area was affected by floods.[7] There have been rent waivers for residents and commercial properties during the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]

The location is served by the Discovery Gardens metro station on the Dubai Metro, one of the stations on the Route 2020 extension to the Red Line for Expo 2020.[9][2][10]
