JBR/Marina Move

2K views 7 replies 5 participants last post by  Nomad80 
JBR is a development within the marina. I've lived in other developments in the marina for the past couple of years and know plenty of people who have lived/live in JBR. The location of JBR is great being as close to JBR walk/the beach as you can get but the quality of finish is dubious and common facilities aren't great e.g. the infamous lack of (decent at least) gyms. From what I've seen the apartments/facilities in the end of JBR closest to the Sheraton are better as they are the newest (Shams/Amwaj). I'd steer clear of Murjan and the blocks between the Hilton and Meridien as they are becoming quite run down already - although there are more shops/restaurants at that end, being the more established part of JBR.

Before committing to anywhere in JBR suggest you take a look at some of the developments between JBR and the Marina or on the other side of the marina which look across to the JBR side. I'd steer clear of any of the blocks bordering Sheikh Zayed Road unless you get a very good deal because they are noisy unless you get a very high floor. Could be convenient for the metro however...

In summary I'd have a good look around as quality varies hugely around the Marina. I moved at the end of last year and found that there was plenty on the market. Try the advance search option on property finder .ae to see what all the agents have available and for some guide as to price.

Good luck!
