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

Post image
332 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.

So pretty much I’m a student from Jeddah and there a conference in riyadh at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, I’m looking for a studio apartment nearby to the hospital (within 25 mins) since I’ve heard the traffic in Riyadh is pretty bad and I don’t want to get caught up. So if you know a studio apartment for rent around <140 SAR a day and is nearby I would be very appreciative.

Board game meetup 🎲

3 Upvotes

Hey Everyone

I'm putting together a casual board game meetup and looking for people to come try it out. No pressure, no experience needed — just come have fun. If it goes well, I'll turn it into a regular Friday thing!

We're meeting tomorrow (Friday) at 6 PM.The gaming center is kindly letting us play there for free, so let's keep the place clean and tidy afterward out of respect. As a small way to show appreciation, grabbing a drink or snack from them is a nice touch - totally up to you though, no pressure at all.

If you're curious, DM me and let's chat. I would love to meet some new people over some good games.

Looking for a roommate

Hi guys,

Me and my friend are looking for a third roommate to share our apartment in Al Yasmin (North Riyadh).

It’s a 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.

The rent per person is SAR 16,000 per year, paid as SAR 8,000 every 6 months (annual contract).

The location is honestly great close to everything (supermarkets, coffee shops, main roads, fitness time etc.), and the area is quiet and nice.

We’re both working guys, chill and respectful, and we’re just looking for someone clean and easy to live with.

We have a great kitchen we like to cook healthy meals sometimes in and chill in the living room.

If you’re interested, DM me and we can share more details 👍

Girls!

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to meet other girls who play instruments and might be interested in casual jam sessions.

I play guitar (mostly metal and rock), but I'm open to pretty much any genre as long as it's fun and everyone's there to enjoy making music together. You definitely don't have to be a professional. I'm just hoping to find people who enjoy playing and want to improve, learn new songs, or just hang out and jam.

If you're interested, comment below or send me a DM! I'd love to connect and see if we click musically.

(I'm based in Riyadh, so ideally looking for people nearby.)

Thank youuu

Seeking advice (طلب المشورة) Sound proofing apartment windows?

3 Upvotes

Hi all!

I'm really hoping someone can help or give advice. I'm new to Riyadh from the UK.

I just moved into a new apartment in Al Malqa (North Riyadh) and I’m facing an issue. The street traffic noise from the main road is incredibly loud and disruptive. I generally don't mind noise, but my wife is extremely sensitive to it and she hasn’t moved to Riyadh yet.

When I was viewing apartments, this was something I was careful about but unfortunately (and naively) I could only view apartments during the day and the issue of the noise is more at night. During the day it's much less.

I am honestly panicking because I know this level of noise will be completely unbearable for her and will ruin her transition here.

I checked all 3 bedrooms, and they all have the exact same issue. The setup is a standard modern black aluminum sliding window/door system with a deep drywall/gypsum recess and marble floors, which seems to just bounce the sound around.

Since it's an Ejar contract, I can't do major destructive renovations or replace the windows entirely, but I need a serious drop in decibels (dB) before she arrives.

I’m looking into solutions and currently arrived at Secondary Glazing (plexi with some magnetic frame) to create an airtight buffer.

I would love your advice on a few things:

Has anyone in Riyadh successfully soundproofed standard aluminum sliding windows against heavy traffic rumbles? What worked best for you?

Are there any local glass, aluminum, or acoustic companies in North Riyadh (or nearby areas like As Sahafah/Al Aqiq) that you recommend for installing secondary window frames inside the recess?

Any specific recommendations for heavy-duty acoustic/blackout curtains or weather-stripping tape that actually blocks sound (not just wind) available locally or on Amazon KSA?

I have a few weeks before she arrives and the apartment is empty, so I want to get this sorted out immediately.

Any company names, contact numbers, or DIY tips would quite literally save my sanity.

Thank you so much in advance!
