We've lived in Hayat for 1 year and now Zahra Breeze for 2 years. The noise is unbearable from kids in the corridors and play area. The security cannot do anything. Parking is fine for 1 car per home, but not more. Pool is great, gym is average, the park and events are good in the winter. It has everything you will need being so far away from Dubai, but is now too expensive for what you get and the traffic and noise is not worth staying for.

this building is awful. NO parking - the landlord rented out the car park, if you rent there you have to pay to park. Building is full of cockroaches. Last year 4 months no AC - landlord blocked tenants and would not reply. Little to no maintenance. after the rain, no water for a week, no lifts for 5 weeks plus. Building is full of bed spaces and partitions, building related to this goes on at all hours sometimes 1130pm. Horrendous building - please avoid.

This building is great, it’s in a calm community and security is always around to support. There is no traffic or noise and the greenery around the buildings is amazing. There are pathways for walking, it’s dog friendly, vibrant and everyone is very friendly. The only concern is the guest parking as the building has parking for guests that is only free for the first 2 hours, it’s manageable but would be nice if it were more flexible in that term in case someone would like to sleep over.

Zahra Breeze Apartments are 4 blocks (3A / 3B / 4A / 4B) of buildings located in Town Square. Each 2 blocks have their own pool and gym. Everything is good about the community except the traffic in the morning during school days at Town Square only exit.
