I lived here from the late 90s to the mid 2000s in the Garhoud Residential Complex. Pros: - Great for families - Tight-knit community - The gardens and large living spaces - Proximity to "what was popular back then" (Deira City Center and Lamcy Plaza) Cons: - Proximity to the airport (a lot of planes flying by) - Parking and guest access was difficult to navigate due to security concerns - Infrastructure aging (old villas versus newer properties)
