Re: Arabian Ranches or The Springs
Hello haven't posted very much or for a long time but have dragged myself away from my brain training. traveller IQ and Buz( and of course my family.)to add my comments- We live in the Springs- depends on traffic you're used to when you're discussing traffic jams. After 8 miles taking 40 mins on the Greenford Road on a bloody miserable dark morning it now takes me about 30 mins from us to near JumeiraH Beach Hotel at about 7 30 ish so less for you as it's the opp. direction. There's A complete mix of people- not many groups of young loud renters- but loads of couples/ with and without kids/ (sounds like kids aren't out of the bigger picture?) A.R seems very popular BUT the rounabout causes stress for nearly everyone I speak to- depends on how long you're planning to stay I guess. HTH

Re: Arabian Ranches or The Springs
An apartment doesn't suit us, particularly as we are bringing our pet with us. What sort of people live in the springs and AR? At the moment, looking at the developers websites, AR seems to have the nicer layouts of the 2. therefore, we are tipping towards AR a bit more, although if anyone can estimate time to work (downtown Jebel Ali) from both places, that would be a great help.
The quality of the Arabian Ranches properties is far better than the few places in the Springs I've seen.
We love it in the Arabian Ranches, you get used the traffic, still nowhere near as bad as we used to have in London.

Happy Christmas NL 
I thought the floor plans were all the same for the Ranches/springs, just the fascia's that are different.

Not sure about floor plans - we are in 3 bed +study in Al Reem and it's not like any 3 beds I have seen in the Springs. The finishing seems a lot better too from what I've seen (although give it a few more years and the places in the AR may start to fall apart too!).

Re: Arabian Ranches or The Springs
I would agree with NL about the finishings. Saying that my house in Springs 2 has a lot better finishings in my mates in Springs 9 and my family's in Meadows 1.
