Hi Um Shaheen and Welcome to the Forum

A lot of families prefer to live in Budaiya, Saar, Janabyia as these areas are full of expats compounds which usually have little parks so the kids can have some fun; in addition these areas are very close to some of the best schools in Bahrain.

On the other hand, other people prefer to live in Reef Island or Amwaj Island which are expat's friendly areas and have a nice atmosphere.

Choosing an area to live in depends mainly on how far would you like to stay from your work place, your budget and the style of house in which you would love to stay in; these items affect on the rental prices as well

Hope this helps

Regards

I agree with VidoDido. You can also consider Juffair and Adliya as well but these places get extremely busy over the weekend. All bars, restaurants, cafes are there. Seef is another good area, a bit more upmarket and the flats are a bit more expensive compared to other places. Depending on where you live in Seef, you can get a decent 2 bed flat between 550BD and 850BD (all depends on the building's quality, location, furniture). Seef is also where the big shopping malls are if you are into shopping malls.
