  1. Any updates on whether there is a shuttle bus service, or an RTA stop in JVT? Tbh that’s the only reason I am hesitating from getting an apartment in JVT.. the area and the apartments are gorgeous

  2. Hi are there any places to swim in JVT free of charge? Or, any local clubs where we can work out or swim? This would tip the balance whether we live in JVT or Springs.

    • Hi Patel,

      Unfortunately there are no community pools in JVT. However, residents get a special rate at the Jumeirah Islands clubhouse. In addition to a beautiful pool, there is a restaurant, bar, gym and beauty saloon. It’s just a 5 minute drive.
