JVC
Village living, city reach.
A Nakheel master community of ten districts around a central park, freehold for every nationality and about 20 minutes from Dubai Marina and Business Bay.

A village at the centre of Dubai.
Jumeirah Village Circle, better known as JVC, is a Nakheel master community in Al Barsha South, set between Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Its ten districts, numbered 10 to 19, ring a central park and mix mid-rise apartment buildings with townhouses and villas, with more than 30 landscaped parks woven between them. It is freehold for buyers of every nationality, about 20 minutes from Business Bay and Dubai Marina, and its accessible prices have made it the most traded community in Dubai by number of sales.

JVC logged 5,138 residential sales in the first half of 2026, more than any other community in the city. That depth of demand from end users and investors alike keeps resale and rental markets unusually liquid.
Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road run along either side, putting Business Bay and Dubai Marina about 20 minutes away by car, Mall of the Emirates about 15 and Downtown Dubai a little over 20.
More than 30 landscaped parks are spread through the districts, so play areas, jogging tracks and sports courts are rarely more than a short walk from the front door.
Nakheel opened Circle Mall in 2021, adding more than 49,000 square metres of shops, dining, a supermarket and family entertainment to the middle of the community.

What it really costs to buy off-plan.
Enter a price to see every government fee on an off-plan purchase, the cash you need when you sign, and an estimate of monthly repayments and running costs after handover.
Government fees from the Dubai Land Department's published service fees for initial-sale (Oqood) registration and mortgage registration, retrieved 6 October 2026. UAE banks lend up to 50% of the price on off-plan homes; they also charge valuation and arrangement fees, which vary. The rate shown is an example, so check current offers with your bank. The service charge is an estimate you can change; the final figure is set once the building is completed. This is an estimate, not financial advice.
