What are the best areas to live in Dubai for newcomers?

There are several great areas for newcomers to live in Dubai, including Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), and Downtown Dubai. Rent prices can range from AED 40,000 to AED 120,000 per year depending on the area and type of accommodation. As someone who moved to Dubai last year, I found JVC to be a great mix of affordability and community vibes, especially for families.
