Samari Residences offers large apartments at good prices and a calm, family-oriented atmosphere. The area is well-maintained and safe for kids, with friendly staff and decent facilities. Only drawback is limited nearby shops and traffic during peak hours.

Wasl Green Park

aisha

We’ve been living in Wasl Green Park for over a year as a family of four, and it’s been a really good experience overall. Spacious apartments, quick maintenance, and a safe, peaceful environment. Perfect for families on a budget. Kids love the pool and play areas - only downside is limited guest parking.
