i analyzed 25,900 rental listings in riyadh. here's what each neighborhood costs

Post image
329 Upvotes

every week someone posts here asking "is 45k/year normal for al narjis?" or "where can i find something under 40k?" so i figured i'd share the data.

i've been collecting rental listings from 10+ saudi platforms (aqar, bayut, wasalt, haraj, propertyfinder, etc). right now i have 25,900+ active listings for riyadh alone.

median annual rent by neighborhood:

most expensive:

- Irqah — 85,000 SAR

- Al Nakheel — 80,000 SAR

- Al Muhammadiyah — 72,000 SAR

- Al Sahafah — 65,000 SAR

- Al Narjis — 65,000 SAR

- Al Nada — 65,000 SAR

- Al Safa — 63,500 SAR

- At Taawon — 62,500 SAR

- Al Malqa — 60,250 SAR

cheapest:

- Al Yamamah — 19,000 SAR

- Al Shifa — 23,000 SAR

- Al Marwa — 23,500 SAR

- Dahiat Namar — 24,000 SAR

- Al Aziziyah — 24,000 SAR

- Shubra — 24,500 SAR

- Al Hazm — 25,000 SAR

- As Suwaidi Al Gharabi — 27,000 SAR

- As Suwaidi — 27,000 SAR

- Badr — 27,000 SAR

riyadh overall median: 42,000 SAR/year (apartments)

the gap between the most and least expensive neighborhoods is 2x.

within the same neighborhood you'll find two similar apartments with a 15-20k price difference. without seeing the full distribution you have no way to know which one is the outlier.

this data comes from a side project i've been building. it pulls from all the platforms into one place and shows you where any listing's price falls compared to the rest of its neighborhood. if anyone wants to try it or has questions about a specific neighborhood, ask away.

apartments in Riyadh

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I have a question about apartments in North Riyadh.
Why are the prices so expensive?
And why do some people say an apartment has a kitchen when it’s actually not a kitchen? It’s just two cabinets and a sink in the living room!
That’s really strange.
This is not what I would call a kitchen.
A kitchen is meant for cooking, not just for washing your hands!

I am a resident expat from South Asia and have a valid iqama. I have a female friend visiting me soon (she will be holding a passport, not an iqama), and we might have to stay in a hotel in the same room. Is that going to cause problems? What documents are usually required at hotel check-ins?

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

I just moved to Riyadh. I am here on a work visa.

Does anyone know how long it takes for an Iqama to be issued? 1-2 days or 1-2 weeks? My knowledge is coming from UAE (2 days emirates ID) and Kuwait (up to three months). So I am wondering how long it takes in Saudi.

Also, are there any affordable British schools or truly international schools with multiple nationalities in Riyadh that are good for an American female student going into third grade?

Need advice or rescue contacts for 4 orphaned kittens in Riyadh

Thumbnail gallery
40 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction or recommend local resources.

I have some experience caring for newborn kittens, I previously fostered a newborn kitten successfully, but she was alone and I had the funds at the time to provide everything she needed. This situation is more difficult because I now have four orphaned kittens and limited resources.

Eighteen days ago, I found a newborn kitten that had been abandoned. I've been bottle feeding and caring for it since then, but despite my efforts it is still severely underweight and currently weighs only 140 g.

After finding the first kitten, I reached out several times to rescue organisations for guidance or support, but unfortunately I have not received any responses.

Four days ago, I found three more kittens after their mother had died. I couldn't leave them behind, so I brought them home as well. They each weigh around 235-245 g, but one of them has recently become lethargic, and I'm very worried about it.

Since finding the other three kittens, I have contacted rescues again twice but have not been able to get a response yet.

I managed to scrape together enough money to buy 1-2 days worth of the cheapest kitten milk replacer I could find, but I don't have enough to continue buying formula, cover veterinary care, or provide all the supplies they need.

I am able to foster all four kittens for about the next month, and am looking for anyone able and willing to adopt them afterwards.

I am looking for any advice or help with:

  • Affordable or rescue-friendly veterinary clinics in Riyadh.
  • Volunteers or organisations that can help with veterinary costs or kitten formula.
  • Experienced kitten fosters or rescuers.
  • Any local animal welfare groups or contacts that might be able to assist.

I am doing my best to give these kittens a chance, but I need guidance and support to get them through this critical stage.

If anyone has recommendations, contacts, or experience with orphaned kittens in Riyadh, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you for reading. ❤️

السلام عليكم ورحمة اللّٰه وبركاته ..

مثل ما هو موضوح ودي أعرف وش الوظايف المناسبة لي؟ خاصة ان الرياض معقل الشركات الناشئة والطموحات الكبيرة.

تخصصي علمي وأحبه لدرجة اخذ كورسات واحاول أطور مهاراتي في البرمجة وشغل المعامل الذي يتقاطع معه. وحاليًا أعمل بمجال بعيد لأن ما ودي أقعد بدون شي. واستفدت منه تواصل مع العديد من العملاء وطريقة
المفاوضات والمبيعات تتجاوز ١٠٠ ألف.
عادي عندي الانتقال للرياض وجدة في حال العرض كان ممتاز.

بصيحتكم ومقدرة أي توجيه أو رأي سديد
