JBR = Jumeira Beach Residences. Right next to the marina, next to the shoreline. JLT = Jumeira lake towers. A new area directly opposite jbr and marina, on the other side of Sheikh Zayed Road. So more inland.

Scouse. I also know what you are saying. Some people just like different things. There are beautiful views out the fairways and the tall buildings next to it btw. :P I prefer having places to walk and the greenness of the greens. And the greens centre has all I would want. One can even go for a walk/jog in the Lakes.
