The Future of Apartments in Jeddah

New neighborhoods has been lately built in the city like Al Ajwad neighborhood or the neighborhoods that were established in the east side of the city. Those neighborhoods were built with great care and many services provided in them to the extent that the locals bought many apartments there and the expatriates started renting many apartments as well in the newly established neighborhoods. The prices too are very suitable for both the locals and the expatriates and they are much affordable than the prices in the elegant parts of the city.

The Saudi government plus the Saudi & Gulf real-estate development companies started constructing and building new housing units and started initiating new housing projects especially new apartments that will help the city mitigate the housing problems it has faced during the past years. Moreover, there are very few and very rare housing projects in the city that contain building 1 room apartment or very small apartments as this concept of 1 room apartment is not very popular in the whole kingdom. Overall, there is a remarkable increase in demand for apartments for rent in Jeddah.
