let me say welcome in Jeddah. I am new to Jeddah as will and I was looking for a good residence near to King street in Hera'a street to be exact. The range there is about 18,000 SR/year and more  this is for two small rooms one bathroom and a kitchen "not furnished" if you are interested just look for any Estate office in the area they will guide you.

Salaam,

Welcome to Jeddah... I am also new here and could not find a compound under SR65,000 per year - and this is only for 2 bedrooms.
There is a place called Azzizya in Jeddah - this is called "little India" - lots of Pakistani's and other Indians reside here - its considered a very nice place I hear.  Not too sure about the actuals though - but my colleague is interested in moving there due to the Hafiz schooling for his kids...

I would suggest that you stay in a Mafrushat (furnished appartment) when you arrive.  The rate starts at SR120 per day.
There are a lot on the Corniche road just behind the Intercontinental hotel - this should be your best bet.  Else, look at where your work is going to be and pick a furnished apartment close by - then start asking and looking around for a more permanent residence.

Good Luck.
Jalal.
