Moving back to Sobha Hartland. Leaving Villanova.

Описание: We made a mistake.

10 months ago, we moved from our apartment in Sobha Hartland to a townhouse in Villanova. Adam wanted to experience villa life before committing to buying. Fair enough — it's a big decision.

Well, now we know. We're definitely an apartment family. And we're moving back.

In this video, we share everything we learned — the lifestyle differences, daily realities, what surprised us, what we'll genuinely miss (spoiler: very short list), and honest conversations about what actually matters to our family.

If you're deciding between apartment and villa living in Dubai, hopefully our 10-month experiment saves you time and a few tense car journeys.



WHAT WE COVER

→ The school run reality (Sara's losing 3+ hours daily)
→ Why Sara's life never actually moved to Villanova
→ The pool confession (used it twice in 10 months)
→ Adam's UK mindset that didn't translate to Dubai
→ Who villa communities are genuinely perfect for
→ What we'll actually miss (honest answer)
→ The buildings we're now looking at
→ Our advice before you choose where to live

ABOUT US
We're Sara & Adam with Riley (12) and Reggie (9). Relocated from UK to Dubai July 2024 after 18 months research. We share honest content because we couldn't find it when we needed it.

Thanks for watching — if this helped, a like means more families can find it.
