The nearest places to live will be Salwa Road, Aziziya etc..these are all not walkable distance. Even if you stay pretty close... its difficult to walk due to the extreme hot weather for six months. only three months will be pleasant. So you need your own transport or arrange a pvt taxi to pick you and drop you from work.

Aryas is a good veg restaurant, they do home delivery (monthly basis) lunch/Tiffin.
