Discovery Gardens?

[deniseajohnson]

don't know anything about municipality charge. The pool Gym etc near to me (building 24) is no where near ready yet!

I read in the papers that the housing fee (5% of annual rent) is included in the monthly DEWA bill, any of you guys actually been charged this fee ?

I just received my first bill. No mention of it.

Hi all,

First post here, but interesting to see comments from other DG residents. I've used the tennis courts a couple of times in the Zen area, but tonight they were pad-locked. Walked up to the next set of courts which were not locked (but were occupied). Does anyone know anything about this, as I can't believe anyone would be selfish enough to padlock the courts so they could get on them whenever they want. I couldn't find anyone around to get a sensible answer from - our concierge desk is never ever manned these days although it always was when we first moved in (start of June) but then again I think we were some of the first residents here.

It can take a long time for the housing fee (municipality charge) to show up on your DEWA bill. We signed our lease (Meadows, but it's all the same) in April and didn't start getting charged until November. It's not back charged, it just shows up one day.

Where are the Tennis courts in the Zen area? Which block are they near?

Hi DG neighbors, I’m in Zen block 19 which is now full. I have been here since the beginning of August and things are great apart from, there always have to be one thing right. The landlord did not pay his part of the DEWA bill when it was vacant, it stands at 600+AED which needs to be paid within 1mth or I will be cut off, like I don’t have better things to do.

I really like the Mediterranean block great for barbecues, please give me an invite if any1 has one.

I was told that we would not have a gym just a pool and tennis/basketball court, did I hear wrong? cause i joined fitness first.

You are correct, there won't be a gym.

On DG's website it states gyms will be build and my sales person said that she thought by November but not sure.
