Jumeirah lakes is not bad, but the Marina is perhaps a better place to live as it is across the highway a 150 meters from the sea.
Many of the new places going up seem to offer a good quality lifestyle. Traffic is starting to be a problem though, so you should perhaps buy close to your office. If you are going to work in the Internet or Media city, again the Marina would be good. If you are going to work around the Trade Center area, the newly built 'Old City' around the new tallest building in the World would be good. Arabian Ranches would be a cheaper option a bit further away.
There is sooo much choice here now it is very difficult to say what would be the right place. It was anounced today they have not even built 10 percent of what is going to be put up. It is quite unbelievable.
Because you know so little about the market, it maybe best to buy from the two largest developers, Emaar or Nakeel.
