Positives

Swimming pool, park and lakes

Peaceful community

George

From Europe

Moved here in 2014, Living with spouse.

Positives

Nice community close to everything

Negatives

We like our villa in the Springs, because it is a nice and quiet area, but still close enough to the city. As the community is fully completed, there are no constructions and we have everything at our fingertips. Might be important: there is no swimming pool in Springs 10.

Sheikh Zayed Road review, June 2014

accessible

Positives

Near to everything

Negatives

Traffic

the place is accessible to everything, its the heart of the city so its easy to find anything that you are looking for. restaurants from cheapest to the most expensive ones, clubs and shopping malls.

Hamza Tower review, June 2014

Reasonable pricing with no facilities around

Ananya

From Asia

Moved here in 2014, Family with children.

Positives

Price, layout of the flat

Negatives

No shops, no guest parking, small pool

We lived here almost 2 years now with my husband and daughter. We choose Sports City for the price and closeness to old Emirates road. Traffic is really good usually, and we have parking under the house. However there is no guest parking, and that can be a problem on more… weekends. Our apartment has great layout, but you have to accept the open kitchen. The balcony is large enough, and it is much better now that the next door building is finally finished. When we moved in, we were expecting new shops and restaurants to open, but there is still nothing. Also there is no park or playground to go with kids.Show less

Green Community review, May 2014

Great location for families with children

Johan

From Europe

Moved here in 2014, Living with spouse.

Positives

Lots of greenery, large spaces

Negatives

Small gym, small backyard

We moved to this 3 bedroom townhouse from a DIFC apartment, because we were blown away by the huge greenery and peacefulness of Green Community. We still love that we can actually walk here, as there is a huge park and lake, plus a community centre with some restaurants and more… a supermarket, from where we can actually walk home with our groceries. The townhouse itself has a nice family-dining area downstairs, which is large enough to have quite some friends over. The kitchen is also quite big, and can be closed. Upstairs there is a large master bedroom with walk-in closet and big bathroom, and two smaller bedrooms with their own bathrooms. I think the backyard is a too small for the size of the house, for example you can't have a proper barbecue party outside. The open pool area is really nice and very close to our townhouse, so we spend some time there almost every weekend. However the gym I found really small and not good quality at all, in comparison to the other amenities of this community. Many of our friends were shocked that we moved here, because they thought it is too far from the city. It's true it takes at least 20 minutes to get to Mall of the Emirates for example, but there are no traffic lights and heavy traffic on the way, so at the end you might get there faster then from Marina or other busy areas. I would strongly recommend Green Community to families with younger kids, as there are always lots of children playing around, it is safe for them, and even a townhouse like ours can easily accommodate a family with 2-3 children.Show less

The Index review, May 2014

Amazing quality

Johan

From Europe

Moved here in 2013, Living with spouse.

Positives

The location and the overall quality of the whole building

Negatives

Got quite expensive

We really loved our apartment in Index tower with its minimalistic style and amazing views. My wife liked the large enough kitchen with the long working surface and the hidden built-in appliances. Our flat faced the sea and the towers of Sheikh Zayed road, but the other side of the more… building has unbelievable views of Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai. The only small problem with the flat I can mention, is that the bedroom could have been bigger. Basically we put are bed in, and there was only space left to walk around it. The swimming pool and the gym on the lobby floor is simply great, I didn't need to go anywhere else to workout. Location-wise you can't get much better than this, 2 minutes from Dubai Mall and Sheikh Zayed road, plus all the restaurants and bars of DIFC.Show less

Lago Vista review, May 2014

Affordable place, but needs parking!

Jawad

From Asia

Moved here in 2013, Living alone.

Positives

Good size, good price

Negatives

Very small kitchen, no parking

This building has great location directly at the end of Al Khail road, so it is really easy to get in and out of the city without any traffic lights. My studio felt quite big (I think it was over 500 sq.ft.), but the kitchen was really small, basically one corner more… of the room. I don't cook much, but even that was getting hard sometimes. I had a balcony, which is a nice touch, although I didn't use it much as it was very hot most of the time. My biggest issue was that there was no parking space for my car. And as many tenants are in the same situation, you all end up searching for spaces in the sand around the building. I don't know if there is a solution to this now, or if you can get a parking space for bigger apartments, but it was definitely a headache for me. I liked that the swimming pool is quite big, and the gym is well equipped. Show less

Central Business District review, May 2014

Not so great!

Yasmine

Positives

Shops closeby

Negatives

Sewerage smell and traffic

Clean, spacious, secured building. The only issue is you get 1 space for a parking and guest can park along the road. With the demand now adays, rent went up and for the amount i am paying is worth for something that has a pool and gym facilities that the more… building doesn't have. 15 minutes drive to Dubai without traffic and 30 minutes with traffic in the morning on weekdays. Accessible to shops.Show less
