Silicon Gates 1

Kids screaming all the time in corridors and playing area downstairs. You can hear it from the high floors loud nonstop screaming.
 elevators are always smelling bad because of the people and the kids and the mess they leave behind 
 elevators issues

it is a family building, dedicated playground. It's a safe and vibrant haven for families with spacious units and educational support.

It is great place for kids until 6 years old nGood community for house wife and kids 

Very nice area with all you need like Supermarket, Hospital, Restaurants and activity facilities.

Nice place to live in, Easy transportation, access to shops and mall, walkable distance to GEMS school and Fakeeh University Hospital

The title says it all. The building inside is always dirty, trashy , smelly, and full of cockroaches. You will face many maintenance issues and water problems. And the cockroaches will invade the space no matter how many time you bring pest control. And not to forget the noise from the highway and from the neighbors that have absolutely no respect for night time.
The pool is always dirty, the gym’s machine are all out of service. 
The parking ramp is the most dangerous ive ever seen. 
The elevator are always not working. 
I strongly do not recommend staying even 5 minutes in this building.   And especially do not trust the agent. 

Dubai Silicon Oasis

I lived in Dubai Silicon Oasis for more than 5 years, and the community has really stayed with me. What I appreciated most was the greenery and how walkable everything is, which really makes the area stand out. I used to go on long walks regularly, cycle around the neighbourhood, and simply enjoy the overall atmosphere. If you have a dog, there is a fantastic dog park, which also became a big part of my daily routine.

The community is mostly made up of apartments, but it also has the beautiful Cedre Villas, and the whole neighbourhood feels very family friendly, with a number of excellent schools located within the area. Some of the more established buildings have generous layouts and are great value for money, while newer developments offer a more contemporary style.

The community has evolved so much recently, and has a wide range of restaurants and cafés, along with the newer Silicon Central mall. It feels lively, and still holds on to that close knit, neighbourhood feel. Areas like DTEC, in particular, are very thoughtfully designed, with pedestrian friendly spaces, plenty of cafés and restaurants, and areas where children can run around and play safely.

In terms of location, I always found DSO very convenient, as it is well connected to the rest of Dubai. It offers a great quality of life, especially for anyone who values green spaces, walkability, and a strong sense of community.

i lived in silicon oasis with my family for 1.5 years and it was heaven! we had 2 mosques, a shopping center (silicon central that includes Lulu and a lot of clothing shops and cafes/restaurants), the north park, a lake, a food court, and 2 hospitals nearby, with multiple grocery shops like al maya and choithrams, and many bus stops that go almost everywhere around silicon and dubai. i gave it 4/5 on the transport only because we don't have metro line however you can take bus number 320 to al rashidya (centerpoint metro) which takes about 30-40 mins or bus #50 which goes to dubai mall directly in about 30-40 mins too
 
when it comes to being family friendly, i have a 2 year old who loved to go to the north park as there's a lot of slides and swings for kids as well as a large football court and a running track around the court. there's also basketball and beach ball/volley ball courts and a skating area. when it comes to running/walking there's a running track around the lake. i used to take my scooter from the park all the way to silicon central mall.
 
we also had a small shopping/cafe area known as Souq Extra that included carrefour, kfc, krispy kreme...etc, as well as 2 gyms including Gymnation and UFC in silicon central mall

noon supermall, and minutes were right around the corner (we had a noon minutes warehouse inside souq extra) so deliveries were really quick

i would say the only negative/downsides is that it gets a bit traffic crowded around 5-7pm and rent may be a bit overpriced especially near the mall and around bus stations, but it gives you that value for money vibe, honestly i really wish i could go back and live there again

I lived in Dubai Silicon Oasis for about a year and a half, near Souq Extra. Overall, it's a peaceful and calm community - you never feel like it's overcrowded. Despite being close to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, traffic noise was never really an issue.
There's a small park near the DSO entrance, but it's quite modest, and I wouldn't say the area offers much in the way of walking routes or points of interest. On the upside, it's close to the half-desert, which makes it really convenient for BBQ outings. There are a few decent restaurants around, but the dining scene doesn't come close to somewhere like Al Barsha.
That said, DSO is a well-established community. You'll find almost everything you need day to day -  hospitals, schools, a university, supermarkets, and more. It's also worth mentioning the IFZA free zone, which is a major business hub within DSO. If you've set up a company there, living in Silicon Oasis makes a lot of practical sense.
So overall, I'd call it an average area in the best sense of the word - not remarkable, not disappointing. It delivers what you'd expect for the budget, and that's honestly its main appeal.
