Introducing
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.

Life in JVC
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.
