Any Info For Compound Accommodation in Riyadh?
 

Im a 29 year old British expat and wondered if anyone could please inform me if they know or have an acquaintance that I could contact in order to find myself some shared accommodation on a compound?

Please message me with the details. Many many thanks.

Hi Dominic

This might help you, but its not shared accommodation.I live in Compound 23, its a small compound off Exit 14 on the ringroad. One part of the compound consists of studio apartments that they only rent to males, it also has a gym and a small pool and you can still have female friends over and normal compound freedom etc. Its 45,000 SAR rent a year though i`m not sure if its full at the moment,they seem to be doing various renovating work on some of the apartments so they may be available soon.Have a look at compound23.com for more info.

Cheers,
Ollie.

Hi Ollie,
I’m also looking for accommodation, do you know if there are any 2 bedroom available, do you have any idea about the price range. Also I would like to ask you regarding the nationalities of compound 23’s residents.
Thank you a lot for your assistance. Much appreciated.

I went down to look at COmpound 23. Looked alright enough. Not a large compound, more like a series of small walled apartment complexes. But each has a pool and gym room. Rooms were good too and it was affordable.

Rough estimate of price Khitan?

Re: Any Info For Compound Accommodation in Riyadh?
 

From what I remember it was remarkably cheap. Don't quote me but I have the impression it was around SAR60-65k. And they allow you to pay monthly rather than up front for 12 months.

Hi Samy
The people i`ve met on the compound are brits and also some lebanese guys.
As for the price i think the villa's (not sure if 2 or 3 bedroom) are 90SAR a year and the studio apartments are 45SAR a year. As for availability i`m not sure,give them a call and i`m sure they`ll let you know.

anyone know of a compound in the centre of Riyadh called Sesco??
Thats where I will be staying but can't find any info.

Re: Any Info For Compound Accommodation in Riyadh?
 

Sorry for Sesco read Asasco, it was a bad line.

Re: Any Info For Compound Accommodation in Riyadh?
 

Asasco - in the middle of shopping distric of Olaya. nice size apartments / pool .Also opposite to a good hospital so it is a busy neighborhood

used to be nice place to live in the 90's ( i lived there then ) zero securtiy though.. still the same!

not in too much danger ..... more of a privacy issue than anything else.

Intersting fact - only 300 yrds from the home of Osama Bin Ladin as if anyone is interested .

Dont know what your budget is but there are better places.

Re: Any Info For Compound Accommodation in Riyadh?
 

Thanks for the info, Accommodation provided by the company so no allowance, Just wanted to be sure it was an ok place and double checking what my company said.

Re: Any Info For Compound Accommodation in Riyadh?
 

Asaco Village is made up of 5 seperate apartment complexes , 3 are set aside for medical housing for a couple of hospitals, 2 are family / batchelor accomodations these face the Hamadi Hospital and all its goings on. The ppols are ok the gyms outdated. used to have a small restaurant but now long gone... there are loads close by anyhow.... not real need to cook in. unlsee you want to/

I hope they have changed or updated the furniture it was a bit outdated last time i was there. I do still live in riyadh likely be here for a long time yet too.

pm me any time. or email me
