Villanova is ideal for families and couples.
Very similar to Barsha 2, but with even larger villas and a more secluded, residential feel. It's often chosen by extended families or those wanting to build custom homes. It's car-dependent, but peaceful and centrally located.
A growing area with a mix of new townhouses, villas, and affordable apartments. It still feels developing in parts but is becoming more popular due to good schools and new infrastructure. Best for budget-conscious families looking for space without a long commute.

Access Details
A quiet, low-density suburban district on the edge of the city, known for its farms, parks, and traditional charm. It’s more local in character, but has become popular with expats seeking space and a slower pace. Great for those wanting a rural-meets-modern lifestyle.
