We are moving to Abu Dhabi soon and my husband works on Saadiyat - can anyone recommend somewhere we could get a 2brm apartment for around 100,000aed? We don't want/need to be right in town - but were looking at Al Reef... is there anywhere else that could be worth looking at?

[i'>and that you were all moaning about the fact that the municipality is making you abide by the rules with regard to satellite dishes/tents/washing lines etc etc which by the way has been the law every since i landed on these shores, but of course if they are not implemented then people forget about them. in deed they have in fact tightened up the building codes, and all new developments will have to abide by these and that includes simple things like not having an outside tap so that you can wash your car, or having irrigation which is green etc etc.[/i'> Once again, your information is incorrect. Never once was I moaning about the building codes, Ive never broken them, so its a non issue. I have never lived in a country anywhere in the world that does not have building codes that must be adhered to, including here. ok you may not have been the one moaning, i was generalising that a lot of people on al reef were moaning about being given letters, yes its a shock when these things happen and you dont know the rules and you think they may be silly, but those rules about satellite dishes and washing on display have been rules for years its only becomes an issue to people when they get caught out and the rules are implemented as they should be.

sorry the mall that i am on about is finished, they are presently doing the car park, it was meant to be open december last year, then april so it shouldnt be much longer. Its great to have more Malls out of the city, but I wonder if the shops are going to more local than highstreet. I wonder if its going to be another Al Raha Mall? yeh there are defo plans for loads more malls, dont know about baniyas mall, but its got a big car4, cinema and other shops, but as yet dont think they have said what. delma mall yes has been open a while, but its a real pain to get in and out, and so would put a lot of people off, it does me and yes they are meant to have a cinema but that hasnt opened last i heard. there is another big development opp mbz mall, thats meant to be a hotel, but its going to be residential and also commercial, and thats nearly finished that too is looking like a mall. deerfields has started to be built up opposite shahama in al bahia. yas mall is planned as well but again they have actually decreased its size and heard that i think geant is going in there. its taken a while but a lot more is being built off island, as more and more people move there, beforehand the attitude of people here was they wouldnt go across the bridges without a passport. the 2030 plans for capital district will mean that the CBD will move out so that will bring with it more infrastructure too. mushrif mall was due to be opening december then april and now we are into may! at least now there are other shops that you can go to and dont need to drive onto the island, such as spinneys/abelas and all the little shops that are being built in raha gardens. in any area that you look to move to it works for different people, it can take you longer to find your way out of kca and into town just because of the way the road system is set up inside the blocks than to drive in from kcb or al reef. as with anything here in abu dhabi you cant believe it unless you actually see it with your own eyes. the building just behind the r/a on blue 16 parallel to main road has been there like for i dunno 5 years, and only now is it being finished. its still a young country and they are still learning. i dont think the new baniyas mall will be like raha mall, as that really is a pain to get to you are not driving short distances there, its like 10 kms that stretch of road. baniyas is a very busy place. and about getting personal yeh well there is just no need but hey ho life goes on.

As far as the new mall goes, it may well be ready sometime soon. But the norm in Abu Dhabi is that things don't always open when you think they will. Sometimes we are pleasantly surprised and a store opens on or before schedule, e.g. the Yas Island Ikea. Delma Mall has been open for at least a year now, and the cinema wasn't open, last I checked. Mushrif Mall has been scheduled for opening since as long as I've lived in Abu Dhabi, if the signs are to be believed, but there are still construction vehicles there. The new mall sounds like it's been well planned, and should be good when it is complete (and by complete I don't just mean the building construction, but rather, when it has been populated with shops). But until that actually happens, I wouldn't factor it into where I chose to live. That's just me, and other people obviously can and do make different judgements. I agree with eli19's comments about there being no community feeling in KCA, which is where I have lived for the past two years. However, for me, affordable housing that was near enough to shops that I could walk when necessary, and wasn't too far from my son's school, was more important than the community feeling. Again, different people value different things. I'm not sure why people here are taking differences of opinion so personally. It's perfectly ok for each of us to have our own take on where is a better place to live.

[b'>Kent10[/b'> -I live in KCA and I can say there is no community feeling. I have tried to make friends with neighbours and cannot get anything beyond a nod of the head. You cannot walk to the shops unless you live right behind the pink shops, and there are no sidewalks or footpaths. We did look at Al Reef villas but it does take an extra 10 minutes from my husband's work place in town (we know because we time it). Having said that the villas are nice and spacious. I am thinking living there involved shopping at Etihad Plaza at Abela's or the Spinney's at Al Bandar. There is Al Raha Mall but getting out is lengthy as you have to go almost into town because you can turn back. I want to stay close to shops then get something in town. Might be more expensive but I think is worth it.

Is Al Reef a nice place to live? Any feedback on Khalifa City? We aren't so worried about having a 'large' apartment, rather somewhere with nicer facilities (footpaths, supermarket)... We live in Al Reef and love it, its great. The pool is lovely, just need a shop and life will be great. Good access to the corniche and the city. We can be in Dubai Mall in under an hour. The airport doesnt bother us at all, no plane noise, but only 10 mins to get there. We looked at KCA but I thought I would feel isolated there. I feel very safe and secure in Al Reef with the security etc especially when my DH is away. There are plus and minus points for everywhere, its just up to what you want / require. Value for money its superb.

I will never understand BB2 why you continue to answer questions about al reef when clearly you know nothing at all about it. It is NOT at the end of a runway. We get no plane noise at all here except three days a month or so back when there were storms and planes were taking off in a different direction. Al Reef is NOT an extra ten minutes to Saadiyat Island, it is in fact at least ten minutes closer than any of the other places you have mentioned due to the excellent access Al Reef has compared to the other places. Sometimes I seriously wonder if you even know where Al Reef is. excuse me but how do you know what i know or dont know, no i do not live there but i do know folks that do, it is right next to the runway the fact that they are not utilising that runway 24/7 yet they will be doing when the airport expansion is complete, obviously the section that you are in is further away, but remember all the comments people made about the noise when we had the bad weather because they had to change the approach etc. and seriously keep your rude comments to yourself about whether i know about it as i only comment on things that i do know about, i probably knew more about it than you did before you moved from dubai to abu dhabi. extra 10 mins or so i said was from kca (as that was what she was asking about) not saadiyat island, technically its prob only a couple of mins drive to yas island, and then you have the island in between and then saadiyat so again that is probably another 10 mins or so in, remember the new road is actually over 3 different islands, with many different bridges only when you go over the first really big bridge and come to the new hotels then you are on saadiyat island. <em>edited by busybee2 on 09/05/2011</em>

kent10, I think you need to accept that with a budget of 100,000, you'll need to make some compromises. I haven't seen the villas in Al Reef, myself, so I'm not going to comment on them, although I do know several people who are moving there within the month. They seem to like it greatly, with the caveat that "it's not really close to anything." KKS makes the excellent point that your husband's work commute would probably be a bit shorter from Al Reef, compared to Khalifa A or Khalifa B. For the rest, it seems you can't get everything. Khalifa B has sidewalks, but no shops. Khalifa A has shops and other facilities (post office, a health centre, banks, etc.), but no sidewalks. The mall that busybee2 mentions is still under construction. Since you're renting, it seems silly to count on the completion of the mall in determining where you live this year. If you're trying to get to the western side of the city, in particular, I'm going to guess Al Reef would put you a bit further out. However, you will probably get a community feel in a way that you won't get in Khalifa A or B. The closest thing I've seen to that is the Sas El Nakhl villas, but they also have somewhat convoluted access and are significantly more expensive than Al Reef. So, it's really up to you to figure out what is more important to you. Landscaped surroundings can be a lovely relief from the ubiquitous sandboxes here. However, I would hate to have to drive 20 minutes, at a minimum, because I forgot to pick up milk or bread or something. Different strokes for different folks. Good luck with your househunting. sorry the mall that i am on about is finished, they are presently doing the car park, it was meant to be open december last year, then april so it shouldnt be much longer.

We aren't so worried about having a 'large' apartment, rather somewhere with nicer facilities (footpaths, supermarket)... if you want faciltiies then you should look at khalifa city a or b. kca has pinks shops (local shops) so you could survive there, kcb doesnt have any shops at the moment, but across the road there is a Emirates General Market, which has a butcher and fish counter so is pretty good, a little further along there will be a new big mall with all the shops and cinemas etc along with a car4 so thats certainly will be a big mall close to kca and kcb. al reef is right by the end of the runway and is another what 10 mins further out, it depends on what you want, al reef at the moment is all villas in a terrace/semi but no shops and you would need a car not to be isolated. kca does not have footpaths, kcb does have footpaths, al reef is a compound so has been landscaped.

You could easily get a two bedroom villa at Al Reef for 100,000. Your husband would have the easiest commute in Abu Dhabi from Al Reef to Saadiyat Island and back each day. Great freeway from the door at Al Reef straight to Saadiyat.
