How do I find a place to live in Riyadh?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"Riyadh is a great place to live, with plenty of options for housing. One of the best ways to find a place to live in Riyadh is to use online resources such as websites like Expat.com, which offer listings of available apartments and houses for rent. Additionally, you can also search for housing on classifieds websites such as OLX and Craigslist. Additionally, you can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable place to live in Riyadh. Finally, you can also ask friends and family who live in Riyadh for recommendations on where to look for housing," remarked another expat who made the move to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"We found a larger private villa after being in a small compound. It cost the same and now we have our own pool without the harrassment of kids. (Parents allow them to run wild here, with or without supervision to all hours of the night.)," explained one expat living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
