- Continued development around Dubai Science Park and Al Barsha South is expected to add further retail, healthcare, education and residential options.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
Villa Lantana is well suited to families looking for spacious villas in a gated, low-density community with schools, healthcare facilities, retail and leisure destinations close by. Its location beside My City Centre Al Barsha makes everyday shopping and dining particularly convenient, while major roads provide good connectivity to other parts of Dubai. However, residents who commute during peak hours should allow additional travel time because traffic can build up around Al Khail Road, Hessa Street and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.
Public transport is available through nearby bus services, but having a private vehicle is generally more convenient for residents. Property prices can also vary significantly depending on the villa's design, condition, plot size, upgrades and location within Villa Lantana 1 or Villa Lantana 2.
