Palm Hills, one of Egypt’s leading real estate developers, has announced the launch of “The Village” at Badya, which is set to become Egypt’s first-ever ‘college town’.
Located in West Cairo within Badya, one of Egypt’s first smart and sustainable cities, The Village is set to appeal to residents through a unique lifestyle offering and investors looking for properties with the potential for high-yield returns.
The Village will include 1,224 premium residential units, complete with modern amenities. Residents will be able to enjoy communal study rooms, co-working spaces and on-site gyms – all of which are located inside their buildings – along with a vibrant commercial strip inside The Village. This comprehensive setup will ensure a seamless blend of comfort and contemporary living.
Adding to its appeal, The Village is situated just one minute from Badya University, which was developed in partnership with the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). Overlooking Badya’s expansive 100-acre sports club – the largest in West Cairo – Palm Hills says this prime location offers investors unmatched potential for high returns on residential properties.
The Village is offering a flexible and attractive payment plan for purchasers, with zero percent down payment and a 10-year financing period. Monthly installments start as low as EGP 30,000 (USD 622), making it easier for potential investors to invest in this unique development without upfront financial pressure.

The Village is the latest example of Palm Hills’ commitment to delivering an innovative vision for Egypt’s real estate sector, aiming to transform the landscape by integrating work, study, and leisure needs while promoting sustainability and smart technology.
The Village is part of Badya, a visionary smart city aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) and Egypt’s Vision 2030.
