Meadows plots are larger, which usually gives more room for extensions, pools and shades. Popular changes are open kitchens, an extra room, a pool, garden shade and a facade refresh.
I Just Bought a Villa in The Meadows: What Can I Change?
A lot, with approval. The Meadows has larger detached villas on generous plots, many facing the lakes or green areas. Owners add rooms, pools, pergolas and open kitchens. Each change needs the Emaar NOC first, then the Dubai Municipality permit for structural works.
