Not a chance you will get into Repton, they don't have a place in Nursery or Reception until 2015, most of the other years also have waiting lists!

Rachel - for villas look at www.dubizzle.com

If you are looking for a "compound" type life then you need to look in the Springs, Lakes, Meadows and Arabian Ranches. All are near reasonable schools.

Have you been their a long time and do you have any kids?

we were looking for a compound in Jumeirah as we have a 7 year old, gave up, as MH says they best ones are in the region of 220k. We moved to Al Barsha to a compound, first time for compound living for us but we are loving it, never seen the 7 year old since we moved in! made tons of friends in first 24 hours and is having a great time

DESS and JESS, doubt you will get 4 kids in.
