In the narrative of Egyptian real estate, few names carry as much weight as Mountain View. It is a brand that revolutionized the market by introducing a distinct architectural identity—the dreamy, white-and-blue American aesthetic—to the deserts of Cairo. Mountain View 1 New Cairo (MV1) is the flagship that set this standard.

Located strategically on the Nasr Axis facing Al Rehab City, MV1 is not just a residence; it is a statement of exclusive suburban living. It offers an escape from the concrete density of the city into a world of manicured lawns, open front yards, and a community spirit that rivals the best neighborhoods in California or Connecticut.

For the international investor or the expatriate family, Mountain View 1 represents the safest bet in New Cairo. It combines the maturity of an established neighborhood with the freshness of new phases, offering a lifestyle that prioritizes privacy, greenery, and a high-end community atmosphere.

• Business & Leisure: Just 5 minutes from The Waterway (Egypt’s premier fine dining hub) and North 90th Street.

Developer Overview: Mountain View (DMG)

If trust has a name in Egyptian real estate, it is Mountain View. As the real estate arm of the Dar Al Mimar Group (DMG), the company focuses on “Science of Happiness” in their community design.

They don’t just build houses; they curate environments. Their track record is impeccable, known for maintaining the value of their compounds long after delivery. A resale unit in a Mountain View project often commands the highest price per square meter in its area.

A Legacy of Landmarks:

• MV iCity (New Cairo & October): Massive smart cities.
• Mountain View Hyde Park: A landmark in the Golden Square.
• Mountain View Ras El Hikma: The “Greek” summer destination on the North Coast.
• Chillout Park: A serene park-living concept in 6th of October.

Full Project Description & Design Philosophy

Mountain View 1 spans 37 acres (approx. 153,000 sqm), but the magic lies in how this space is used.

The American Esthetic

The design is unabashedly American. Think white picket fences, blue roof tiles, grand columned entrances, and open front yards. This architectural style was chosen to evoke a sense of optimism, space, and calm—a sharp contrast to the beige and grey tones of typical Cairo buildings.

The “Green Oasis”

To maintain this suburban feel, the built-up area is restricted to roughly 70,000 sqm, leaving the vast majority of the land for lush landscaping. The compound feels like a park. The streets are wide, tree-lined, and designed to encourage walking and cycling.

Privacy by Design

Unlike high-density blocks, the layout ensures that neighbors do not look directly into each other’s windows. The spacing between units is generous, maintaining the sanctity of private life.

Unit Types & The “iVilla” Innovation

Mountain View 1 offers a diverse portfolio, but it is most famous for popularizing the iVilla concept in Egypt.

1. The iVilla (The Villa Alternative)

The iVilla is a signature Mountain View product. It is essentially a duplex with a private entrance and a private outdoor space, offering the villa experience at the price of an apartment.

2. Luxury Apartments (Millennial & Sunstone)

Mountain View 1 provides diverse apartment living options ranging from smart spaces to expansive family homes.

• Millennial Apartments: Starting from 140 sqm (3 Bedrooms) – Smart layouts for modern living.

Why This Project is Ideal for Foreign Buyers & Expats

1. The “American” Familiarity

For Western expats or Egyptians returning from the US/Europe, the aesthetic of Mountain View 1 feels like home. The open lawns, the architecture, and the organized streetscape offer a familiar comfort zone.

2. Asset Liquidity

Mountain View units are “liquid assets.” Because the brand is so highly desired in the secondary market, selling your unit later is significantly easier and faster than with lesser-known developers.

3. Immediate Proximity to Rehab

Expats often rely on Al Rehab for daily services (Vet, International Markets, Tech Support). Living right across the street saves hours of commuting time weekly.

4. Safety & Management

The compound is managed to international standards. Security is rigorous but polite, and the landscaping is manicured daily. It creates a “bubble” of perfection that is highly valued by international residents.
