I live there. It's not cheap, but it is nice and very convenient for my work/kids school/Marina reastaurants and bars etc. which is why we chose it. No more expensive than what we were paying in the UK though....

Re: Bluecat - The Lakes
Bloody Hell! You were paying over GBP3,000 per month for rented accommodation in the UK? Its obviously been a very long time since I was back home.

Re: Bluecat - The Lakes
its miles away from where I work in Deira, and we only went there at night, but I did like the look of it, tennis courts, pool etc - is it all villas there? no flats or apartments?

Re: Bluecat - The Lakes
Nope, for a mortgage - and it was less than the equivalent of AED 300K. I'm not paying anywhere near 300K in the Lakes either - managed to get a good deal for one of the Maeen villas. Didn't realise how lucky we were at the time, but do now. Like I said, not cheap, but we like it a lot so decided that we were prepared to pay for the location/accessibility etc.

All villas - correct. The tennis courts/pool etc are all part of the clubhouse/Hayya!. It has a licensed bar there as well - staggering distance from home - which is handy! It's about the same price as you would pay for a family membership at a decent gym/club type thing back in the UK, and a damned site less expensive than most of the beach clubs we have looked at.
