What one reviewer said

“Living here for over four years, I'm generally happy with the building. It offers more space compared to similar units in JVC, and the inclusion of a store/maid room is a plus. Tenants also enjoy free A/C. However, soundproofing is inadequate, and I can hear neighboring TVs. Cracks on the walls and A/C water leakage in the kitchen area need attention. Overall, it's a satisfactory experience, but improvements are needed for better comfort and maintenance.”

From Google Reviewers

Each card is a real, public Google review of this residence, sorted into our ten questions – answered only where the reviewer said something, and marked “Not answered” where they didn’t. Reviews written in other languages are shown in English and labelled. These come from Google, not from verified residents, so they count for only a small part of the HT Score, never as much as a real resident review.

“We lived in a 1-bedroom apartment with a maid's room, and its size was surprisingly spacious compared to many 2-bedroom units in other buildings in JVC. The environment was generally peaceful, with minimal noise from neighbors. However, the building’s maintenance left much to be desired. The AC was a particular issue: at 25°C, it smelled like drainage and felt like 28°C, while at 24°C, it stopped smelling but felt like 16°C 🤣. The kitchen also had persistent water leaks, and the cockroach problem was overwhelming. Overall, it was a decent year for us, but both the building and the apartment are in desperate need of proper upkeep.”

“Fire alarm goes off 3 - 5 times a week anywhere between 5am - 6am, because the most incredibly selfish people I’ve ever met who live in the building cooking. I’ve never set off the fire alarm cooking, I don’t know what they are cooking. We’ve complained 15 times, security guards say there is nothing they can do because they own the apartment and they simply do not care. We’ve emailed the developer, everything you can think off. This has been going on ever since we moved in, cannot wait to leave it’s hell.”

“Decent place to live. Quite big apartments. Quality is okay. Pool is good. A lot of families with kids running up in the aisle. Good security team. Some small minimarts around the area. 10-15 mins walk to Circle Mall in JVC. Close to Hessa And Al khail exits. 15 mins drive to downtown. 10 minutes drive to the palm. Location wise is great! Good place to live for small families.”

“Apartment is great for family living. Decent neighbors as the occupants are majority the owners so they care for the building and people. Sharing or bachelor living is highly discouraged and reported. One of the most spacious 1 and 2 bedrooms in Dubai specially at this price - all comes with maid’s room and huge living area.”

“Not recommended for families at all, loud music from neighbours every night and no soundproofing at all. You can hear your neighbor's. Building management is very weak and cannot take decisions. Very poor maintenance.”
