Dont recommande for families with the children. Very noisy, renovation in every second appartment: drilling, hammering. It’s a management who gave the permission and who doesn’t care about the rest of tenants. I have newborn baby and we have nowhere to hide or escape, paid a lot to rent appartment here what became a torturing trap.

Hello, I'm a Black American Designer here staying at Rimal 5. I've provided all documents needed to stay here; every security person here has given me a reason to write this review. They have stopped me multiple times, they have stopped me at the elevator each and every day asking me the same questions every day they see me. I'm constantly being harassed be the one security who works night shift and also the short older Asian guy who works in the day. The guy who's working at the time of me typing me message told me he want open the door for me next time I leave out the door. I've stayed at 7 different places here in the JBR area and never been harassed like this.

I lived in Rimal 4 for 5years with my family. Friends used to come to visit us frequently. We loved every day of it and I am still missing it. The location seems like you are at a resort - beach in one minute walk, swimming pools, gyms, coffee shops, restaurants, The Walk. The plaza area is very kids-friendly, my kids used to ride skateboard on the Plaza and meet friends. Rimal 4 is nicely located in an inner side of the plaza, away from the noise of The Walk. There is a Carrefour and an All Day groceries literally next to Rimal 4 which makes it easy to live in for expats. There is a tram station next to Rimal 4 that I sometimes used to take tram to go to the office instead of driving my car. A metro station is in a walking distance. Over the 5years I rented both sea-view and Marina-view apartments in RImal 4. I loved the seaviews. However, I appreciated quietness of the community views as well. And the aircon electricity bills were much lower in my community-side apartment as sun shines in your windows in the mornings only, something you come to appreciate over time as you live in Dubai. The yachts passing on Marina in front of my windows were a visual staple of my community-view apartment. The school buses arrived right at the garage exit of Rimal 4 and made it convenient for kids to get to school. Rimal 4 is a sweet spot of JBR, miss you.

I have been a tenant for 3 years and the experience I have had so far is terribly poor. Very poorly maintained building. Dirty everywhere....elevators, floors (with lots of waste stored in common areas), security/reception that has a phone that has not been working for 4 months even though the concern was raised both electronically and personally to the building management. What are you doing in case of an emergency? Who will help and respond? They have a ticket system for service requests and complaints but rarely they properly execute on those. Instead, you just get an email back reading "Your case was resolved" When? Where? Simply ridiculous. I strongly advise to avoid Rimal 1. Also, as reported by Shadi (see previous comments): noise has been a nightmare. Drilling all day long for 4 months. And, of course, all allowed.

Terrible experience. I rent in JBR Rimal 1 and am spending all my time hearing drilling and maintenance noise. Now it's been 4 months the drilling sound is not stopping, when I complain they reply that the flat which the noise is coming from has permission to do it. Now another flat start also the renovation and I have to live 3 months with the noise.
