Hi
We are a big family with 3kids and 2 dogs having to move to Abu Dhabi in the summer due to the government. I have one child excepted in al yasmina and youngest child excepted in al khabarat school. We love mangrove villiage because of parks and swimming pools and not to far to al khabarat is it far from al yasmina? Also are there any other communities like mangrove villiage not far from the schools? We need a 4 bed budget no more than 230k, I'd prefer a garden bigger than mangrove villiage though. Was thinking golf gardens? A raha? But def not the hills as impractical for little children or khalifa city.

Thanks in advance

Thank u...,I've got fs2 place for bsak and my eldest is now second on the list for year 8 as she is sibling priority, but my eldest has been offered a place already in al yasmina but no chance what so ever for fs2... Is al reef? Al raha close to the schools wouldn't mind travelling as just need a good sized garden and a community playground ? i would take the fs2 place at bsak, they are like gold dust, and if you are second on the list for year 8 which is a much easier year to get in you will get a place before september start. 99.9% sure! to take up the bsak place you need to pay their joining fee which is higher than yasmina, people swap and change about even the first week of academic year, usually bsak goes back a few days before yasmina and so places will become more apparant earlier. i would go for bsak (also you will get the nice new facilities there too just opened this year). to still hedge your bets, look at places at al seef compounds or any of them along salam st, al raha, golf gardens, hills, raha gardens but etihad plaza end, kca, kcb, mbz there are many options now

Thanks in advance mangrove village is good. there are many compounds now, but lots of kids go from mangrove to bsak and yasmina, its between the two. but yes with all compounds the size of the garden can be small. golf gardens are nice and it would definately be easy to get to yasmina (of course once you get one kid in a school you move up the waiting list so a space may well become available before the start of the academic year, the only problem is that you will have to pay to accept the spaces now! so you have to really decide which school (both are very good)). hills are nice houses though, there is the new compound opp the grand mosque and lots of compounds along salam st now easy to get to yasmina and also bsak. what ages are your kids, as its very difficult to get into the younger years, and especially getting accepted in bsak (for what year?).
