Be careful with the generality here - the older Ezdams have been constructed using low grade Chinese raw materials - the maintenance on these villa's is high, believe me, I know as I live in one of the older ones. However, the newer constructs up the road towards Wukair have been constructed using far superior materials and as a consequence have a better finish and consequently lower maintenance issues on an ongoing basis.

The older Ezdan's are suffering from a lot of vacancies particularly in the villas - 2, 3, 5 and 6 where there is upto 75% vacancy - hence they are starting to be populated by corporates putting labourers into them - its occupancy and rent is being paid so Ezdan are happy.

The advice would be if you are interested in taking advnatge of the lower rents and deals that Ezdan are offering would be to take a look at the newer compounds.
