The community is still partially under development however, many cafes have opened up and the road network has greatly improved making access in and out of the area much easier than a few years ago not forgetting JLT being built right next to the Metro line giving instant quick access to many areas of Dubai.

JLT offers residents a more reasonable cost of living compared to the neighboring Dubai Marina and many young professionals and middle class families choose to call JLT home. The Bonnington Hotel and Movenpick JLT offer several restaurants and lounges licensed to serve alcohol and for more leisure and entertainment choices many residents choose to visit and use the Dubai Marina and JBR amenities where you can find numerous shopping and restaurant outlets along with the very popular beach area at JBR.

JLT is served with various supermarkets including Spinneys, Park’n’Shop and Carrefour.

A number of medical and dental clinics have opened up in JLT and the nearest Accident and Emergency Hospital would be either Saudi German Hospital or Cedars Jebel Ali.

Nurseries and schools can be found nearby in the Marina, Emirates Hills and Jebel Ali areas of town.
