Is Jumeirah Lake Towers a place for families? I’ve got 2 girls, 12 and 18 and I’m looking for a place to live between the sea and the Meadows, some place where my girls can go out and get a bus, have a walk, be safe and meet friends. Any suggestion?

Yes, JLT would be suitable.  There is also the metro that passes through JLT and your girls would easily be able to take this to Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall giving them a little independence.
