Thank you so much for all your comments. They helped because I am beginning to coordinate myself a bit. To be honest, I am really scared because it is going to be my first time in Dubai. My husband will be working in Knowledge Village and my last son who will be in the 6th grade, still has assessment to do in 3 schools, one in Academic city and we have not made a choice for his school until we arrive. Relocating is so stressful, we are practically giving away most of our things. For our family size (4) moving to Dubai, we need a 3 bedroom housing of AED 100,000. For the first few months, we can only afford 1 car so I would like a place where I can easily get transportation because I am going to be working (don't know where). I am also hoping that there might be a school bus for my son's school. I don't know how that works in the schools. Our relocation agent will be taking us house hunting but I need to know from you ladies some nice places to live in and also affordable. Where are you from in the states? I am also from the US. We just moved here 3 weeks ago. We are still in a hotel apartment because it has taken so long for paperwork to process for Visas, Emirates ID, etc for my husband. It is going to be pretty difficult for you to find a 3 bedroom for 100K from what I've seen. I'll look up Knowledge Village. We got a villa in Jumeirah Village Circle which isn't far from Motor City and it seems to be much more affordable and bang for your buck for space...however, we are from a small town in Texas and are used to being further away from amenities but there are still plenty of advantages in JVC as compared to where we came from (except for the whole family and friends part ;)). Hi sisterscott, we are from St. Charles in Missouri. I was looking at 100K for the 3-bedroom thinking we would be able to get one. We may have to increase our budget for the house. It is so expensive moving and we are going to be buying everything for the house there in Dubai. We will be staying in a hotel when we arrive for some weeks so I will be searching but I needed to get good recommendations to help me from you ladies that are there. Thanks::)

Thanks geogiapeach2. We are actually looking for an apartment with 3 bedrooms, and our relocation agent suggested Queue Point which is close to the Academic city. Right now, I have no idea of anything. We arrive in 2 weeks. Any suggestion is appreciated.
