The Green Community Terrace Apartments have huge terraces. The ground floor apartments have a large terrace area that a lot of people have partly grassed over. Thank you, I can now add this to our list of possibilities! San, we are like you - own company - still to to make it pay it's own way, I work full time and no assistance, our kids have left home and we don't need a 4 bed villa any longer although I will miss it :(

I'm in a one bed in Foxhill and absolutely love it (just renewed for the second time)! Although it is getting to the stage where the communal areas are getting a bit scruffy and need a repaint. My place faces the gardens at the back as I wasn't sure how loud it would be the other side with all the traffic. Most days I can sit out on the balcony and just hear birds and the odd voice. We can hear occasional noise from the apartment above but its not disturbing. I also love how close the shops and restaurants are. I've got a friend on one of the ground floor apartments with a small dog and they don't seem to have any problems. I think the balcony is ok for a small dog or a medium dog if they were given regular walks through the gardens. Only thing to consider in the area is the high cooling bills. I had a bill of over AED 700 for cooling in september, usually its around 300-400 a month.

The Fox Hill buildings (the big step-like ones) have huuuuge balconies - probably as big as a lot of London gardens! Not sure if you could put grass down (don't know if it'd live?) but size-wise they are very large and good for a dog to chill out on :) Walls - we occasionally hear out neighbours, but it is rare, only if they are shouting :)

Do any of these apartments have private gardens/terraces where it would be possible to plant some grass - we are thinking about moving out of our villa but want/need a patch of grass for our elderly dog?!

Hi, i live in motorcity for almost 2 years and in a 3 bedroom apartment, i must say i love it but due to travelling alot we are forced to move. My apartment is a a good location away from the autodrome, next to the pools and play area very very quiet. Lovely neighbourhood and animal friendly. If you are interested in a 3 bd you can view ours and we got the best landlord...otherwise maybe contact UP/ agents. All in all motorcity is great. Am at claverton.... good luck
