    Location and access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    JVC lies inland, south-east of the Marina. Dubai Marina<\/a> and JLT<\/a> are about 15 minutes by car, Downtown<\/a> around 25 minutes. The district is framed by major roads: Al Khail Road, Hessa Street and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. There is no metro station \u2013 JVC is a district for drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Right next door are JVT<\/a>, Dubai Sports City and Motor City<\/a>, Arjan<\/a> and Dubai Hills Estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What’s behind the name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    “Jumeirah Village Circle” describes the layout: the district is laid out as a circle, crossed by ring roads, with parks in each sub-district. Nakheel developed the master plan in the 2000s, originally mainly for townhouses and villas. Later many plots were sold to other developers, who built apartment buildings there \u2013 mostly mid-rise blocks rather than skyscrapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The result is a district that has grown strongly and is still growing. Alongside established corners with caf\u00e9s, supermarkets and parks, there are streets where construction is still going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
