Hey everybody. I just got into Riyadh about two weeks ago and it seems that the compound that the company I took a job with is not going to allow wives to live on the compound soooooooooo I'm starting the search for a place to live. Any recommendations, suggestions, advice is greatly apprieciated. Would prefer a western compound for my wife and 10 month old to have people to hang out with. 2-3 bedrooms as a coworker of mine is going to bring his wife over as well and we are thinking of sharing a place. Thanks

Also would 100k sar per year be enough for a place?

2 bed room apartments are usually in the range of 120+ in a western compound, unless you wanna go for a a compound with lesseer on site facilities.

Thanks. That wouldn't be to bad then because we're hoping to find a 3 bedroom place and there would be two of us kicking in 100k sar a year each. Thanks for the info.

Hey ashcroft,

Maybe I could be of some help as I work for one of the biggest real estate companies in Saudi Arabia and we have a lot of compounds at hand. If you want, PM me with all details of what you are looking for and I can try searching around for you. I cannot advise you on anything here as I have already been warned about violating the forum's 'free ad' rule, good luck!
