District 1 in JVT is a residential area developed by Nakheel, known for its quiet, family-friendly environment. It forms one of nine residential districts in the master-planned JVT and is situated near major roads for easy commuting. The community includes a mix of ready villas and ongoing apartment developments.

Nakheel initially developed standalone 2-bedroom Mediterranean-style villas, but large plots remained undeveloped. These are now being built into modern apartment projects such as Altai Tower, Park One, Maya 5, and others. This diversification has increased the area's appeal to tenants and buyers.

The community infrastructure supports a family-oriented lifestyle, with shared facilities such as sports courts, children’s playgrounds, and landscaped parks. The integration of nurseries, supermarkets, and healthcare within minutes ensures convenience for residents.

Al Khail Avenue Mall, currently under development, is expected to significantly boost the area’s lifestyle appeal, offering retail, dining, and entertainment within the community's proximity.
