Jumeirah Village Circle or simply JVC as the locals call it, is located in new Dubai and covers a relatively large area (560 hectares) in a very convenient location. Jumeirah Village Circle is a classic example of radial development (as its name implies), with a main square at its centre and the sprawling streets that branch off it into separate clusters of villas and townhouses. This location gives the community a cosy, almost homely atmosphere of a gated and secure cottage community.

More than 1,000 apartment buildings, villas, townhouses in the JVC area have now either been completed or are in various stages of construction, and a further 183 residential, commercial and hotel complexes are in the project development stage. More than 300,000 people are expected to live there when the area is completed.

Most pleasingly, the pricing policy of the master developer Nakheel Community is such that you don’t have to shell out a fortune for a comfortable house or flat in the area. Spacious villas in the JVC, with large balconies and usually five bedrooms and a private garden, are sold here at fairly reasonable prices. And flats or flats in modern apartment complexes equipped with everything you need, such as Ellington Belgravia, can be a solid asset for investment and a steady income. Jumeirah Village Circle is therefore an excellent choice for those looking to buy a home in Dubai at a good price and in a good neighbourhood.
