Looking for "reasonable" compounds in riyadh :)

Hola people
We are looking for "reasonable" compounds in riyadh - not crazy expensive , 'coz we will be paying out of our own pockets for it :)
we can do 60K-70K a year - area doesnt matter, yet .... 
please let me know if anything like this is available here
Thanks :)
PS: I've heard of akaria/akariya compound is good - anyone have any reviews? How do we contact the place 'coz they have no website! :O
Thanks all

Yeah, the thing is, you have to physically go to these compounds and speak with the managers.  Keep going back.  Be persistent.  Get on a list.  Try to make some kind of 'connection.'
I've never heard anybody speak of slipping the top guy a few bucks, but as corruption is everywhere, it could be effective!

Unfortunately, it's the way it's done here (law of supply and demand) and while it is nerve-racking, it usually works out in the end.

Best of luck!
