I have just relocated to Dubai and we are planning to buy a villa in Jumeirah Island. But after reading so many negative reviews (from 2-3 years ago)about the overpriced chillers and low maintenance of the lakes, I am quite confused. Can someone living there now or who lived there recently, give me your feedback?

Please see our community guide on Jumeirah Islands which has an interview with a resident of Jumeirah Islands.  When talking to friends that live in Jumeirah Islands the biggest complaint is the cost of the air-conditioning and sometimes the quality of the villas.
