Overview of Al Barsha South Fourth
Al Barsha South Fourth is the Dubai Land Department name for Jumeirah Village Circle, a master-planned district by Nakheel laid out in rings across roughly 560 hectares between Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. It mixes apartment blocks with townhouses and a smaller number of villas, wrapped around landscaped parks and a single community mall. It suits renters and first-time buyers who want floor space at a price the coastal districts no longer offer, and investors buying for yield rather than for a view.
A mall at the centre of the grid
Circle Mall sits inside the district rather than on a motorway, so a supermarket run, a cinema and a pharmacy are a short drive from most blocks.
Thirty-three landscaped parks
Nakheel has delivered 33 parks distributed through the rings, so green space is walking distance from most residential streets.
Two motorways on the boundary
Al Khail Road sits on one side and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road on the other, which puts Downtown, Media City and the airport on direct routes.
A rebuilt Hessa Street corridor
The RTA upgrade doubled the street's capacity from 4,000 to 8,000 vehicles an hour, with Jumeirah Village Circle among the areas served.
A rooftop sports club above the mall
Circle Mall's roof carries a pool, tennis courts and a 75,000 sqft gym with padel courts, open to residents on membership.
Apartments, townhouses and villas together
The same district holds studios, family townhouses and villas, so households can move up or down without leaving the area.

Living in Al Barsha South Fourth
What it's like day to day, and who it suits best.
The population here skews towards working couples, sharers and young families rather than long-settled households, which is what a district built almost entirely of rented apartments produces. The week is car-shaped. Nurseries, gyms and a supermarket sit inside the rings, but the school run, the office and anything on the coast all involve driving out through one of the same few junctions, and the difference between leaving at 07:15 and 07:45 is measured in tens of minutes rather than a few.
