Fortunato

Great building with friendly neighbours. Peaceful and quiet, with only three floors. The pool and gym have been recently renovated, and the building is managed by a reliable and responsive management company.

Ive been living at Fortunato for over 6 months and I love the building and my apartment. The security and maintenance staff are great and always willing to help, the building is clean but there are some aesthetic issues (nothing major) but the building looks a bit old and can use a paint job.

My major issue, and there seems to be no one that is able to provide a solution or is willing to fix it. The water pressure in the building is terrible. The shower will just have extremely poor pressure to the point where the water is barley coming out; the sinks will do the same, and leaks will occur. When speaking to maintenance, I was told that it was a building issue and that because the water tanks are in the basement, the pressure drops and that they need a new system. But there is no plan for a new system. So, I'm stuck in the same position with no solution or way forward. It is becoming really frustrating.

You feel like on vacation when you stay, it is a resort style building. with a huge pool, beautiful green areas gym and Yoga studio !!! Friendly staff and maintenance team seems to be always on top of things.

Big layout apartments ranging between 700-900 sqft for the one bedroom units. 1 minute walk to Circle with all the amenities you can imagine, supermarkets, shops, cinema and Wellfit, one of the biggest gyms within a mall in the whole country. I couldn’t ask for more!

Very bad maintenance, you always have to call outside company to fix. 

ACs are horrible in all the compound.

 The noise is horrible at night with motorcycles and people honking all the time.

The villas are either airbnb with new people every week or used for companies with more than 20 girls living in them. 

The only good thing is the pool. It is very nice with temperature control.



Jumeirah Village Circle

The unit with the large terrace really caught our attention. It has plenty of space and a maid’s room, and we really liked the practical layout. The shared garden for residents is a nice touch, and the EV charging in the parking area is a great extra for the future.

The location is excellent and within walking distance of the Circle Mall. The apartments with a pool view offer a great view of the Palm, the Burj Al Arab, and Downtown. The quality and fittings are above average, and the amenities are also good and fully sufficient. In summary, it is a good building with excellent 24/7 service and friendly residents.

Nice, peaceful and calm location. Lots of parks, supermarkets, restaurant options. Overall good. Can see a lot of pets.  Traffic is high , but more exits are in master plan when its opened should reduce. Big Nakheel mall is additionally coming. Metro station (Gold line) is coming up by 2029.

This neighborhood is known for its calm and peaceful atmosphere, making it a great place to live. It offers plenty of parks and green spaces, perfect for walking, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors without feeling crowded.

One of its biggest advantages is how self-contained it is. You’ll find a wide range of amenities—shops, cafés, and recreational facilities, all within the neighborhood, so there’s rarely a need to go elsewhere.

The only drawback is some traffic during peak hours, but it’s generally manageable and not a major issue.

Overall, it’s a quiet, convenient, and well-equipped place with a high quality of life.

Warm , safe, and friendly neighborhood, I love it. Whatever you need is there, shopping, cafes, and all.

We’ve been living in JVC for about 6 years now. We started off in JVC 2 and recently moved to JVC 1, which is definitely quieter and feels a bit more peaceful.

To be honest, even with the traffic getting in and out during rush hour, we still really love living here. It just has this easy, comfortable vibe that’s hard to explain until you actually experience it. There’s always something going on, but it never feels too busy or overwhelming.

One of the things we enjoy the most is how green and walkable it is. There’s a park almost every kilometre, loads of dog-friendly spots, and it just makes day-to-day life nicer. We’ve gotten into the habit of going for walks in the mornings or evenings, and it’s genuinely one of our favourite parts of living here. The parks have also been upgraded recently, with more sports facilities like basketball courts, padel, cricket nets, and more, which has been great to see.

Everything you need is pretty much around you. There are so many food options, all kinds of cuisines, plus salons, small shops, printing places, and all the usual essentials. Circle Mall is super convenient too. Nesto is great for groceries, and there are plenty of cafes and little spots when you need something quick or last-minute.

There’s also a nice social side to JVC. Places like Goose Island and McCafferty’s, along with all the brunch spots, mean you don’t really have to leave the area for a good night out. It’s especially nice for young couples or anyone who wants that social life without being in the middle of the chaos.

What we’ve really come to appreciate over time is the community itself. People are generally friendly, things feel calm, and overall, it feels safe. It’s one of those places where you settle into a routine quite naturally.

If there’s one thing we’d hope to see improve, it would be getting in and out of JVC. Traffic during peak times can be a bit frustrating, and having more entry and exit points would make a big difference. Public transport is still quite limited too, so you do end up relying on driving or taxis. That said, it’s nice to see that things are improving, with new traffic signals going in and roads being upgraded across different areas.

Overall, JVC has been a really great place for us. It just feels easy to live here, and that’s probably the best way to describe it.
