Hi,
I am looking for any advicfe on good places to look at to live in qatar with my husband and three-year-old daughter.
We are a British family and would preferably like a pool within easy reach for our little girl.
Inititially we want to keep the budget as low as possible until our house is rented back home.
Thanks,
Torz

Torzia...there are lot of villas(compound and otherwise) opposite to the aiport, along Maatar Qadeem road. Usually between 10 - 15K. Pool, gym, a little play area for the kids.

Easy for your hubby to get to work. Plus the shops are close by.

How is Beverly Hills close to everything?

Yes tell us your husband's work location and we can give you better suggestions else it is just useless.

Where will your husband work?

We could tell you to live in Wakra, but if he works in Ras Laffan that wouldn't work!

Depending on the size of place you're looking for Zig Zag Towers can be nice. Lot's of western expats (Brits, French, German, American, Canadian) younger families etc.

The buildings have nice pools and gyms (not to mention gorgeous views of the Gulf). The prices may be a little high for your range but the rents are definitely falling right now in Doha. You can inquire re: renting and pricing here (click Lagoon Plaza):
