00:00Hi, I'm Olga Borovska, I'm Ukrainian, living in JVT for four years now.
00:19We bought our villa just before COVID time and at that time the pricing was really low.
00:29So we are happy that we live here and now if I look at the market price, the prices
00:36are quite almost double.
00:41So the price when we bought it was around two million and now it's 3.5 and 4 if it's
00:47renovated and if there is swimming pool, up to four and a half million here.
00:54What I like about this community, big gardens.
00:58If you look around here, it's beautiful, big gardens.
01:05You will not find much now because they built now more townhouse style, so everything is
01:13very small and in this case, I like it.
01:17It's quite quiet here and the distance to Marina, let's say 12 minutes by car.
01:25I believe it's quite a decent distance to be far from high buildings and to stay in
01:35the nature.
01:37So the parks are beautiful here, the playgrounds we have a lot.
01:43We have tennis courts and paddle courts, they are also built now, basketball and volleyball
01:52playgrounds.
01:54I mean, it's a very, very decent community.
01:58The only thing we are missing is a swimming pool and the gym.
02:02We have a Facebook group, even two.
02:08So if something happens, we help each other.
02:13Sometimes the Amazon delivery is in the wrong address or someone is posting, we look in
02:17the print and find out if it's yours.
02:21People help each other.
02:22It was recently the Halloween party and people who decorated their houses for Halloween.
02:29It was a trick or treat for the kids.
02:34They were all going with the nannies, with the costumes.
02:37They were entering the houses, getting their candies.
02:40So beautiful.
02:43Also for New Year, people decorate their houses.
02:46Also for Diwali, for example, I also put some lights.
02:49I just like to have some lights.
02:54So people are helping each other.
02:58It's very helpful.
02:59So if somebody is looking for a nanny or recommending the gardener or wants to share some experience
03:06with some company who, I don't know, clean the outdoor furniture or clean the barbecue.
03:11So everybody always in the group, there is something going on and people are really helpful.
03:19Every year, I'm posting in the group like around August time and trying to get new clients.
03:29Not just new clients, just to inform people that I'm doing yoga here and people are responding.
03:37But sometimes, you know, the timings, the this and so, but I still work here in the
03:43community and I love people.
03:45I think it's very convenient.
03:47People are coming because they don't need to drive 30 minutes and then 30 minutes to
03:52come back.
03:53They don't need to stay in the traffic.
03:54So they just can walk or they can take a car and very short, two, three minutes distance
03:59they can arrive to me.
04:00My name is Elif Bieler.
04:02I'm from Switzerland.
04:04I grew up in Switzerland, but originally I'm from Turkey.
04:07Okay.
04:08So when did you come to Dubai?
04:09To Dubai?
04:10We arrived first of July, actually, and we were staying first on the Palm to get known
04:17about the communities around and to find the right place to live.
04:21Okay.
04:22So you chose JVT.
04:24Tell us about that.
04:25Exactly.
04:26We chose JVT and it took us a while to get actually this community because we were honestly
04:32looking before in other communities like Dubai Hills, Arabian Range, Springs, etc.
04:42And after we saw the property where we are living now and we walked in, I saw the garden
04:48and I knew that's the place where we want to be with our two small kids.
04:54Yeah.
04:55Okay.
04:56So what was the main reason for you to choose to live in JVT?
05:00It is, I think it's a combination of a lot of things.
05:04It's like the money wise plus the huge compound you're getting, I think the value for the
05:12money which you're getting is in JVT at the moment the best place to invest or to rent
05:18something.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Okay.
05:21And how do you like the sizes that the villas offer in JVT?
05:26They're pretty big and really nice made and you have a lot of options to as well to make
05:33it bigger as you like.
05:35And the garden is just huge and amazing and you have really place to breathe and the nice
05:40thing is as well, you have a lot of parks around which are very nicely made.
06:04Hi, I'm Aditi.
06:05I'm a mom of two.
06:07We moved to JVT in 2015.
06:11So my husband is into IT and I'm into marketing.
06:14We have two kids of eight years old and three years old.
06:18So yeah, the journey in JVT from 2015 has been very transitional in nature and we've
06:25actually seen how JVT has blossomed into the community that it is right now.
06:31So back in 2015 when we were expecting our first baby, my husband decided that you know
06:36what, we need to go to a bigger space in an apartment where you have space for the kids
06:41to run, for the dogs to run and we came here.
06:46And I remember my first drive into JVT, there was just one supermarket, triangle supermarket
06:51and another one further down the line.
06:55And my first reaction was, oh my God, am I going to give birth here?
07:01And you know, the drive to the hospital, it all scared me.
07:04But what was amazing was even at that time, the connectivity of JVT to all the other areas,
07:10to let's say the main places or the busy places like your Burr Dubai or even Marina, JBR,
07:16very, very accessible.
07:18So and then of course, we began to love the community.
07:21In 2015, we rented all the way till 2018 when we decided to buy a property.
07:28So I have seen this place really blossom from having just a couple of groceries to actually
07:33having full-fledged supermarkets, from having just, you know, tennis courts and play areas
07:40for kids to having paddle courts, badminton, dog parks off late, and even a small cricket
07:46practice ground.
07:48So even in terms of the kind of nationalities that have come in, it is diversified over
07:53a period of time.
07:54There are two amazing schools here, Sunmark, which is a part of Fortis Education.
08:00They have their Jumeirah International Nurseries here.
08:02Both my kids go there.
08:04And of course, Arcadia as well, the primary and the secondary.
08:08So yeah, it's an amazing community.
08:11And I think a lot of the reason why people prefer this community is because of the ability
08:15for you to grow your house as you grow as a family.
08:19So you know, very few communities actually have that.
08:24So from here, you can buy a two-bed, extend it into a four-bed or a five-bed or a six-bed,
08:30put a pool as per whatever your family needs.
08:33So yeah, from that perspective, JVT is a great community.
08:37Because you have this as a mixing pot of cultures, you actually find people just coming in and
08:43helping you.
08:44The community is extremely, extremely friendly as well.
08:47So people don't bother you, but they are extremely helpful if you reach out and ask for help.
08:53Hi, I am Rua from Iraq, Baghdad.
08:59And I am a mother for three kids.
09:03My old son, he is like 14 now, and the other one is nine and eight.
09:11And my life like only in the house, between gym.
09:18You know, like all the moms, how are they doing every day?
09:21I am living last three years, and we are, my kids are very comfortable here.
09:30Because I feel the area is like family area, and everything is close by.
09:37And I like more like the park for the kids, there is place to play for the football, basketball.
09:45So you know, number one, we think about the kids, how they are comfortable.
09:51And plus like the location also for JVT is very nice.
09:57Like wherever you want to go, everything is around close by.
10:01Yeah.
10:02Okay.
10:03So why did you choose to come and live in JVT?
10:09I don't like apartment first.
10:11I feel like when you live in apartment, you are not free, even if you are inside your
10:16place.
10:20Like everything rules is there.
10:22But here when I came to JVT, I feel more free for me and my kids.
10:28And like family area more, it's good for family.
