Hi there, we are looking to move from Jumeirah 1 towards Umm Suqueim/Al Safa areas and are also considering compounds, I read above about Splendour villas and was wondering if any of you living there hear the mosque as it seems it is very close to the compound from what I see in all the pictures. Please let me know, thanks a lot! x

Hi fefi75! Sounds great! I hope that there will be some available houses when we come in oktober! Oh my god, your Dewa bill was high! More than i thought... Thanks for letting me know what is included in the bill... Too bad water and electricity for pool was not included... Did you stay in Dubai over the summer? 5k... Is that during the warmest months? Or average during the time you have been there? How do you use your ac, is in on constantly? Is it possible to somehow lower the bill? It is a bit too much to have around 5 k a month on Dewa for us... But now with all your comments i also really want to move to splendour! Thanks and i really looking forward to the coffe ;-)

Hi Sw3, we live in Splendour Villas too, since February. We also really like it. The location is away from major Canal construction, very close to shops/services/schools and so forth. Access to Sheikh Zayed is super easy going South, a bit of a maze going North, but still easy! The villas are nice and spacious, agree with Expatsam1 on all points she mentioned. DEWA bill. We are currently on the 5K mark/month. Inclusive of Housing Fee, Water and Electricity. We hope winter will give us a bit of a break on the electricity side... Pool and garden maintenance is included, as well as villa maintenance, but this refers to manpower and spare parts. So water/electricity for pool and garden are to be paid. My only negative comment is not on the landlord but on the guys who manage the compound... we found responsiveness was not exactly a strength. So we did not have many issues, but for some, we had to chase and chase and chase. On the flip side, the maintenance team is made of hardworking men, who really try their best to help. We have 3 kids, aged 1,7, 9 but there are many kids in the compound, who hang out in the park especially in cooler days. And I love being in such a central location, yet having a gated community feel where the kids can bike, scoot, run around in a safe environment. Hope to see you soon then. Get in touch when you arrive and we can have a coffee to welcome you x

Hi!! Thanks alot for your replies! So god to hear that you are happy with splendour and have heard good things about it! Our boys are 2 and 5 years old. Expatsam have you seen kids around that age? How old are yours? We have applied to international schools such as Gems international al khail and Gems world academy. I think it is about 20-30 min drive.... Another question, Expatsam- do you pay for the electricity and the water for the pool? And the water for the garden? Bcause we were told that the maintanace was included in the rent. But does that also include the water for the pool and watering the gras too? Or not? Just want to know what to expect on the Dewa bill... What was yours first Dewa on? If you got one yet... Hope we will become neighbours! ;-)
