Staying or Leaving JVC
Dear all, I wanted to know how you currently see JVC. I’ve been living in this area for the past 4 years mainly because it used to be one of the more affordable areas, with big apartments, low-rise buildings, a more European vibe, free parking, etc.
Now it feels like an open-air construction site, parking prices have become crazy (my girlfriend spends almost 100 AED per day when she stays with me during the weekend), there’s a massive oversupply of apartments, prices that make no sense, and traffic that keeps getting worse and worse.
I’m starting to understand whether it still makes sense to stay in this area or move somewhere else, so I wanted to hear your opinion too. Do you also feel that staying here doesn’t make much sense anymore, or do you still think it’s worth it?
The only thing keeping me here is that my apartment rent is still relatively good for the market (65k for a 1-bedroom, 75 sqm). Everything else, in my opinion, has really declined, and I keep seeing more and more vacant apartments both in my building and the nearby ones.
