I really like living in a Podium villa. Used to live in Jumeira too, and believe it would be really hard to find a brand new villa there at the same price. We were ok to give up the garden (high maintenance anyway) in favor of this. Hopefully we will have shops and facilities soon .... when it will be all done, I am sure ET will be a great place to live. On another subject, does anyone know if there are SWIMMING classes organized by the pools? I have a 4 and 2 years old, and would love to take them for swimming lessons. DH is totally thrilled about not having the garden maintainence....... I suppose its just me resisitng change....the villa we saw was nice- amazing terrace.Its just that I've changed houses twice already in the last 3 years and both times when I was 7 and then 8 months pregnant- so am probably not looking forward to moving again with 2 cats, a toddler and a baby....sigh Thanks MB....but we even saw one of the so called garden villa - which was more like a ground floor penthouse apt...DH is a fiend for space and he didnt like it (neither did I though ) I gues I'm also a bit droopy about the idea of coming there in April - the podium level is so lovely and I wanted my kids to enjoy it but summer will start sort of right away.. edited by designbabe on 17/03/2011 <em>edited by designbabe on 17/03/2011</em>

We went to see the podium villa this weekend.....It seems they are almost fully occupied... We have been staying in Jumeirah for the last 3 years and are looking to move for the convienience factor... The rents for the podium villas seem fairly high for smaller villas than we get in Jumeriah with no garden space but ofcourse I imagine the amenities are there. I'm just finding it hard to reconcile to paying about the more money for a smaller house with no garden...... Or are there some super fabulous positives about ET that i'm missing? Am in the same boat as you. I wonder if there are specific towers to be looked at or avoided completely. We have not been shown many choices as I think almost all the villas are full up . The one we got to see was only because the owner took possession late. I love the idea of convienence (sp) and community living....but it just seems a bit overpriced in terms of rentals and when its obvious that there is such a high demand...I'm wodering what I'm missing...especially since there are no shops, saloons or restaurants there yet... :\:

I have not read the other forum, but I used to have trouble with the lifts and I never do now. The longest I have to wait is probably 3 mins when it's busy, but usually not at all. Yay :)

http://www.executivetowersforum.com edited by Leshell on 16/03/2011 Am about to sign a contract with ET and this scares me now. ETA Could it be that some towers are really bad? I can't imagine being stuck at the elevator for 25 minutes when my son's school bus would have reached to drop him off in the noon and in super hot weather, and in an unsafe surrounding(imagine the threat level with so much of construction going on around you) <em>edited by keepinfaith on 16/03/2011</em>

Yup. Am seeing them through FAM and Bhomes. Not very impressed by what I see in Tower B for sure. However with Tower C completely owned by a single company, am guessing it would be a better bet wrt maintenance in the long run. Just presuming ;) ETA I like KiF shortname :) <em>edited by keepinfaith on 13/03/2011</em>

Thanks MB. Makes a lot of sense. Was there today looking for a place. Seemed like only Tower B had vacant 1 BRs and also had plenty of leakage issues. Planning on another visit to Tower C and L tomorrow before deciding. Any feedback on Towers C and L? TIA

How much would a 1 BR electricity bill cost per month? ( DEWA and Empower included) Am sure the usage varies individual basis, however would like a ballpark figure. Thanks

Hi designbabe, I am in a podium villa. I like it have lots of space, there are various sized ones. I have balconies only,no garden only on the outside which are looked after by ET, not sure what garden villas are maybe they are the ones at the base of the towers?? The security guys have an office in aspect tower (could really be a storeroom I think) DH went there when we reported the graffiti kid. Hi Nessa. I too had heard only of the podium villas. Was a bit surprised when the agent said - garden villa. We'll be having a look on Saturday so will have a better idea then....
