Jumeirah Islands
 

Just wondering if anyone lives or knows much about Jumeriah Islands. Moving out soon and this looks quite a good location and the villas look beautiful.

Does anyone know if the community centre has opened there yet? I can't seem to find too much information about it on the net and have heard a 'rumour' that the community centre hasn't opened yet and that the building work has stopped there. Is this true?

If anyone knows anything about Jumeirah Islands it would be most appreciated.

lovely place to live, I have two friends up there who are really happy. The Community Centre never happened if I remember rightly but there is a good play area, and each villa has it's own pool. I am envious.

Crap build quality and infested with mozzies...not somewhere I'd move to.

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

I have never been bitten by mozzies when I have been up there and mozzies love me :( where does a good build quality exists? I would rather have JI over the Springs that's for sure.

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

Got friends living there and they can't sit out on an evening due to mozzies. They have had loads of problems with the house, and for what they are paying you would expect better. There doesn't seem to be much there, I'd take the Meadows over JI.

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

I agree with you about the build quality but I now take the attitude of it's only rented. The kitchens are not up to scratch for the size of the villas. The Meadows are nice but the properties are very close to each other. Access out of JI is easier as well. The have dropped dramatically in price, so there is plenty of choice now.

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

Think there was a thread on EW not too long ago about teenagers having parties which were advertised on Facebook, which lasted until 6am! Turned out they were renting out empty villas for a night apparently!

Think it was JI, that is the one with the clusters isn't it?

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

Yeah, JI has the clusters. Our friends had a problem with kids having parties til late, when confronted they said that their parents were abroad ...maybe the same ones.

I just don't like the place, would not want to move there.

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

I have been thinking about it, and if my DH's Company said we have a villa on JI if you want it, I am afraid I would have to say yes. If they had one on Meadows 1, I would say yes to that too, but not the other Meadows because of access in and out the place.

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

those parties are being held all over Dubai...one call to the police will sort it out, they let kids in from the age of 15 and they serve alcohol...

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

will they let 44 year olds in?

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

My boss is going to look at some 2-bed villas on Arabian Ranches going for about AED100K...any views on that place? Has the access route got any better?

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

only those of the MILF variety...

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

Access is fine and the houses are pretty nice (I guess it is Palmera they are looking at). But even with the new roads is still feels like a long drive out there.

Some friends were up a few weeks ago looking for a place and said it is like a ghost town.

Re: Jumeirah Islands
 

that's me out then :)
