emirates housing question

Hi All,

New to your forum, just researching EK as I am beginning the application process. If successful, planning on moving with family to enjoy the sunshine and retire my snow shovel.

An awful lot of info is available here, I've already read the good/bad/indifferent opinions on life in UAE.

Planning on living in company provided accomadations. Wife and 2 kids. What kind of housing can I expect? What is the status of temporary housing and how long is temporary? Typically how far from anywhere can I expect the local commute to take for family (schools/groceries)? Does the company pay for any shipping of personal goods when hired? Any recent newcomers have any advice or experience.

Thanks - Ozzy
