Welcome to Dubai, home of beautiful beaches, iconic and bottomless Friday brunches, and more exotic cars on any given street than you can count. It’s widely known as the most thriving, modern city in the Middle East and famous for its trailblazing architecture, luxury shopping, and vibrant nightlight scene.

If you’re a newcomer, getting to know all the Dubai neighborhoods can be stressful, especially if you’re trying to find the right one to call home. On the one hand, who wouldn’t want to live in a condo in the Burj Khalifa? But on the other hand, a villa with a pool, a grill, and ample room for get-togethers might be fun. It’s hard to find the right Dubai neighborhood to call home – and that’s why there’s Jumeirah Village Circle.

Jumeirah Village Circle, or JVC as it is known locally, is regarded as one of the best neighborhoods in Dubai because it offers both a suburban and urban vibe. Spread out over almost nine square kilometres, JVC provides its 25,000 plus residents a lot to get excited about.

Home to young professionals and families alike, JVC is a tight-knit community that’s perfect if you’re looking for small-town vibes within a big city. With its palm-lined streets, attractive property prices, and remarkable range of outstanding schools and nurseries, JVC is the logical next step from the bright lights and single life of downtown Dubai.

But don’t let it fool you. Just because it has a family-friendly feel doesn’t mean JVC is boring!

When out for a stroll, you’ll find an array of eclectic shops, coffee shops, and a complete inventory of eateries to please even the fussiest of foodies. When you feel like taking it slow, supermarkets, salons, and spas are all easily accessible on foot. There is no shortage of landscaped parks for those who embrace an active lifestyle, some with running and bike tracks, and all within walking distance from home. And when you need to get away for some serious retail therapy, Nakheel Mall is a few minutes away.

With its impressive assortment of amenities, well-maintained, landscaped parks, and close proximity to Dubai’s main sites and attractions, JVC looks and feels like its own small town despite its prime location near the city’s heart. Surrounded by Hessa Street, the Al Khail Road, and Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, its main entry and exit points mean quick and easy access to anywhere in the city.

For those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Dubai but not venture out too far, JVC is the neighbourhood for you. It’s close enough to commute to any business hub quickly yet offers everything you need to fully enjoy the weekend while remaining mere steps from home.

Your friends and co-workers might have some ideas of where you should live, but once you visit JVC, you’ll be one step closer to finding the home you and your family will love.
