Moving in qatar in July
Hi ,
We are a European family (From Finland)and I got job offer from telecom company and we are likely to be relocated in Doha during July. I have noticed that apartment and villas are quite expensive so I like to get advice from you that what area we should looking for place to live and what is mid price for 3 or 4 br U/F villa or apartment? We have 2 & 7 and 8 years old kids and we are interested to get them in American school.
Also I'm loking to buy used car (Cayenne) so where I can look those.
Any help will pe apreciated. You can mail me direct at [email protected]
Thanks,
Pasi
as e4 mention ... ASD or DESS, Park House and Doha College are among the best one. Depend what curriculum you want your kids to follow.
with the housing prices now ... you will need at least around 15.000 QR for 3 bedroom house or more (especially with the size of your family). Can't you push more allowance, except you prepare to fork out more from your salary. Or best if you ask the company a house not an allowance. Safe the headache with the rents hikes every year.
And as e4 said ... school always waiting list. Make sure you sort the school out before uprooting the kids.
You should look at living in a compound. Some compounds have apartment buildings.
Not sure about unfurnished prices. There aren't any unfurnished ones in compounds. Do a search of the forum.
Some used car dealers have Cayennes and you can try the dealer here for used ones. That's best till you arrive.
Primary schools, in addition to ASD you have DESS, Park House and Doha College. These are the ones with the best reputation/track record. There are others, again search the forum. Problem is the waiting lists.
I don't know where my office is locating but I quess close to Q-Tel office.We are planning to put our kids to american school or is there better choices? The budged I guess will be around 130 -150k /year
it depend:
-where is your office's location
-where is your kid's school
and how much is your budget?
I guess you will need a massive at least 5 bedroom villa with 4 kids in tow.
