What to expect

Family-friendly amenities

I always describe the Lakes as an oasis in the heart of the city. Residents enjoy all the benefits and privacy of villa living, with gardens and lush greenery, but the dramatic skyline of JLT and the Marina on the near horizon reminds them they are only minutes from the bustle and convenience of city life.

Amidst pleasant surroundings, The Lakes houses various activities for adults and children alike; the development offers 11 community pools and parks, 10 community playgrounds and BBQ areas, a games room for adults, a basketball court, 2 tennis courts, a squash court and a football field, 3 nurseries and a school, an outdoor gym and a Fitness First branch, a fine-dining restaurant; Reform Social & Grill, preferred supermarkets; Choithrams and Spinneys, salons, and gorgeous views of 7 different lakes. The amenities the club has to offer leaves no reason behind for residents to travel long distances for everyday necessities.

Originated from London is Dubai's first true gastropub in The Lakes. A neighbourly restaurant that is based on one of London's most sought-after and vibrant venues, featuring the same name as the international site; Reform Social & Grill. The scenic views of a beautiful garden, right beside the splendid lakeside setting make the restaurant a top spot for fine-dining. Pork dishes are available in the high-class menu, along with an eccentric bar menu. Starting in the early morning, they serve a vast menu of everything from breakfast to drinks after dinner.

What not to expect

Singles leading a busy city life amidst skyscrapers

Since the community is very family-oriented in The Lakes, it is very rare to find any singles around as they prefer to live in the center of the happening city. The prices for larger homes are difficult to attain within budget, which is why mostly expatriate families prefer to live in the area. For those who like living amongst the hustle and bustle of a busy city life, the development might seem to be leading a mundane lifestyle with minimal spots for outings and a serene, sober lifestyle. Furthermore, the area is not directly accessible via public transport which can be a hassle for many.

The Master Developer, Emaar, is well-regarded as the best in the business, and the community is kept in immaculate condition. New residents, who often move in to the community as they start or grow their families, will enjoy the feeling of space and freedom without having to compromise on the commute.
