If we had to pick one district in the city of Dubai that is perfect for a family-centric lifestyle, it would be Jumeirah Village Circle. Located close to other residential areas like Al Barsha, it is a sophisticated and laid-back neighbourhood with a family-oriented atmosphere. JVC sits quite conveniently at the junction of Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road.

It is divided into six districts and has several popular areas like the Seasons Community, Diamond Views and the Plaza Residences. These communities offer a mix of studio and multiple-unit apartments for rent in JVC as well as townhouses and villas.

One of the main reasons renting an apartment in JVC is perfect for family life is the plethora of essential services and amenities found within or close to the development. A number of convenience stores and supermarkets like Choithrams and Spinneys are situated throughout the community. The location of JVC is such that it is close to some of the best schools and hospitals in the city. Large green spaces and gardens can be commonly found inside the area, and there are dedicated tracks and trails for walking, jogging and cycling. These large open spaces and front and back yards attached to some of the villas are a guaranteed perk for those who have pets or are looking to adopt one. Your furry friends will have plenty of space to live and play freely! Salons and barbers found within the area mean that residents don't have to go far to get their regular grooming sessions.

For entertainment and leisure, Mall of the Emirates, one of the largest malls in Dubai, is a short drive away and a shopaholic-approved destination for shopping and dining and fun activities. A number of golf clubs, like the Els Golf Club and the Montgomerie Golf Course, are at a distance of a few kilometres and are great for engaging in some sports. A little further away are residents' favourite spots like the Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, which can all be reached through a 20-minute car drive.

With all this, living in JVC is the epitome of a quiet, suburban and relaxed lifestyle.
