Hi expat arrivals We have applied for places for our daughter at Brighton College Abu Dhabi, can anyone please recommend me which apartments/developments are closest to this school/area. We need 2 bed apartment and have a budget of c130k AED per year to spend on housing. We were keen at Reem Island but this seems far from BCAD. Any ideas on how long the morning school run will be from Reem island? Any good areas/areas to particularly avoid? Thanks

Hi Kal777, Brighton College is located near the Bloom Gardens Development, which still has some sections under development, and is quite central. Popular developments around the area include Mushrif Gardens and Mangrove Village, Al Seef, Al Qurm and the Palm Oasis compounds. All of these are located relatively close to the school.
Perhaps chat to the school to see if they have any recommendations, as well as to your or your husband's colleagues about where they live and good areas near the school.
