Hi Dan - welcome to the forum
I know I'm not Sgilli or Elphaba, but when I moved here in June I arrived thinking that I wanted to live in the Marina or JBR. However after looking at the area in person it wasn't for me - partly due to traffic and construction levels, the sheer anonymous size of JBR, and the distance to my work - but mainly just because it didn't 'feel' right for me. Having said that, I know people who live there and love it!
Personal circumstances / preference play a massive part in where you choose to live and you really need to look around when you get here - internet pictures are no substitute for the real thing, and don't forget that no property agent is going to use pictures that make their apartments look skanky!
I know that's not massively helpful but I guess what I'm saying is that no-one can really tell you where is best to live - you need to get here and decide for yourself.
Good luck.
