Your complete guide to Jumeirah Village Circle
Let's dive in to everything Jumeirah Village Circle, commonly known as JVC. A neighbourhood a little out of the city centre, JVC is a popular area for those looking for a more pocket-friendly property with lots to do nearby. With many new builds currently under construction, the place has everything you need from parks to pubs and all that lies in-between. If you like this: Your ultimate guide to every Dubai neighbourhood So if you're stopping by (or considering putting your roots down here), this is everything you need to know. Your ultimate guide to JVC Renting in JVC Average rent price/housing type: Dhs78,000 per year (one-bedroom apartment). Made up of both villas and apartments, JVC is a fab area if you're searching for more bang for your buck. Averaging at around Dhs78,000 per year for a one-bedroom apartment, you're less than a 20-minute drive from the likes of Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, so it won't take you too long to travel around. Villas can cost anywhere upwards of Dhs150,000 for a year's rent, but you're getting an impressive amount of space for the cost. According to the latest data from Property Finder, the cost of buying a one bedroom apartment is around Dhs1.7m. Where to eat in JVC There are plenty of places to eat in JVC, from gorgeous hotel restaurants to quick bites in Circle Mall. If Sunday has rolled around and you're urgently in need of a roast dinner, stick on some comfy clothes and sit down for a feast at McCafferty's. In the mood for spice? For something a little more exotic, head to Café Isan for a fresh curry and some incredible flavours. For a taste of a traditional British 'munchie box' check out the menu at the Fyre takeaway, or get your pastry fix at Risen instead. Things to do in JVC Credit: Goose Island Tap House There are some top spots to sweat in JVC, so if you're a fitness fanatic, check out FitRepublik nearby for a swim in its 50m Olympic sized pool, or get your trainers on and smash a 5km around Gadaf Park. If it's a bit of retail therapy you're after then a stroll around Circle Mall should do the trick. While you're there, let the little ones browse the toys at Play and Dream and of course, finish off with a flat white at Coffee Planet. For a guaranteed good night out, grab a pint and watch the game at Goose Island Tap House, or step out onto the dancefloor at Mansion for some late-night grooving. Transport in JVC Al Khail Road (Credit: RTA) If you're living in JVC (or visiting), you'll most likely need to travel by car or taxi. The neighbourhood is not attached to a Dubai Metro line, however, it backs onto both Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, making for easy connections to the rest of the city. If you're travelling in rush hour, be sure to allow for a little extra journey time. There is one bus route serving JVC, the J01, which loops around the area before heading the Mall of the Emirates bus station.
