A Guide to Living in Jumeirah Village Circle

Things to do in JVC 

The first point of note in JVC is the abundance of parks and green spaces, over 30 of them. Many of these are community parks with playgrounds for little ones to get their fair share of physical activity and social interaction. There are also lots of places for you to walk your dogs on a leash. 

JVC’s human inhabitants too have a lot of options when it comes to going for a walk. There are numerous paths winding through the community’s length and breadth, as well as cycling tracks for anyone who prefers to get their exercise on two wheels.  

There are numerous sports facilities; tennis, badminton and basketball courts, as well as community swimming pools, gyms and play areas. The area is also home to the highly regarded hotel, FIVE.  

When the weather turns warmer, there are plenty of malls where you can go as a family - the community’s very own Circle Mall is undoubtedly the top choice, but should you fancy getting out of JVC for a bit, Mall of the Emirates is a short drive away. Circle Mall has a trampoline park and an arcade to entertain your little ones.
