Serenity Lakes 5 at a glance

- Unit types: Studio, 1 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments
- Ownership: Freehold, open to all nationalities
There is no two bedroom, and that is deliberate
Read the unit mix again. Studio, one bedroom, three bedroom. The two bedroom, which is the volume unit in most JVC buildings, is missing entirely.
That is an unusual choice and it works in a buyer’s favour in one specific way. The three bedroom here has no internal competition from a slightly cheaper two bedroom, and in JVC three bedroom stock is genuinely thin. If you are buying for resale rather than yield, that is the line to ask about first.
For a yield buyer the studios and one bedrooms sit in the deepest tenant market in Dubai, with the warning that follows every JVC page we write. Demand is real and void periods are short, but you compete with a very large volume of similar stock across the community.
A five storey building in a district of towers
Most new JVC stock runs from twenty to fifty plus floors. Serenity Lakes 5 is five storeys and 141 apartments.
For a resident that means no lift queues, quick stairs access and a building small enough that people know their neighbours. For an owner it usually shows up as a lower service charge per square foot, because there is no high rise mechanical, lift or firefighting infrastructure to maintain.
The trade is straightforward. A five storey building gives you no view and cannot fund a tower’s amenity deck. If a skyline outlook matters to you, this is not the building.
Where Serenity Lakes 5 sits
Jumeirah Village Circle is a large mid market residential district between Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, with Circle Mall, schools and nurseries inside the community.
Distances Gulf Land publishes for the Serenity Lakes buildings:
- Dubai Marina, 15 minutes
- Palm Jumeirah, 15 minutes
- Downtown Dubai, 20 minutes
- Dubai International City, 25 minutes
- Dubai International Airport, 30 minutes
Fifteen minutes to both Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah is the number that matters for a landlord. It puts the building inside commuting range of two of the largest employment and leisure clusters in the city.
Prices, payment plan and handover
Gulf Land does not publish prices, a payment plan or a handover date for Serenity Lakes 5 on its own website.
We do not fill that gap with numbers from listing portals. On enquiry we obtain the current price list, the payment schedule and the delivery position in writing from Gulf Land, and we send them to you before you commit anything.
Alongside that we give you registered Dubai Land Department transactions for JVC and the achieved rents for comparable studios, one bedrooms and three bedrooms, so you can compute a real yield rather than an advertised one.
Who Serenity Lakes 5 suits
First time buyers and small families. Gulf Land is explicit that this is the intended buyer, and the building is shaped for it.
Buyers who want a small building. 141 apartments over five floors in a district of towers.
Three bedroom buyers. That line is thin across JVC and has no two bedroom competing with it inside this building.
It suits you less if you want a view, a large amenity deck or a prestige address. This is attainable mid market stock and it does not pretend otherwise.
Dubai purchase costs
The Dubai Land Department charges 4 percent of the purchase price, plus registration and trustee fees. There is no annual property tax. Studios and one bedrooms at this price band will not reach the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold, and we will say so plainly rather than let you assume otherwise.
Jumeirah Village Circle is a designated freehold area, so all nationalities can own outright.
