Looking for accommodation around Tahliyah Street / Al Dugaither Center

Tahliya is an upscale neighbourhood...a studio could cost you as much as a 2 bedroom unit elsewhere..

Check out the Al Rajhi Compound.. they have 2 bedroom units for around 28K, its not a compound per se, just a gated community with around 12 buildings. Almost 100 % South Asian expats there..

Another option is to a bit north, round abouts of Akaria compound.. or towards the sulaimania .. where the mideast international schools are ..

The best way here in Riyadh is to go in the area where you want an apartment, then look for Akariya offices in that place. ask them for available units, and have your number put in for any future availability . You can usually get sumthing good in a months time.

Thanks Kamii:
May be I should consider only Studio apartments someplace else 'cause my budget is around 15 - 20K. Do you know of any website where one can connect with real estate consultants in Riyadh? Hopefully they will be able to help me with finding a place before I move there in the next 3 weeks. Please advise.

Al Shatoor Real Estate in Sulaimaniya on Thalatheen Street a few blocks away from Al Rajhi bank, behind the new Othaim Mall, is one of the best in town.

I just happened to pass by shatoor yesterday.. when I asked the guys there.. he said he had just one apartment .. later on I found their number advertised on atleast three buildings where flats were still available.. any clue what sort of gimmick this is ?

Not sure but studio apartments are generally not common place here.. and when they are .. they are not considered the budget rentals.. these are like luxury studio apartments..  check out http://www.expatriates.com/classifieds/ … available/ .. not that I am suggesting you use that to get yourself an apartment..check out the postings there..  it would give you an idea of what range you can get in which area...

Thanks Kamii and Musicman.

I guess I will have to start looking for something as soon as I reach Riyadh. This anxiety is taking a toll on me.

Thanks guys.

Moving...
