What's it really like?

A low-rise residential area with a strong community feel. Mostly villas and 3-story buildings. Home to many British and American schools.

  • No high-rises (less crowded)
  • Great community feel
  • Central location between City and South

👎 The Bad

  • Traffic getting in/out can be tricky (Badawi St)
  • Older buildings may need maintenance
  • Parking can be tight on side streets
