Hi Kiwi Bird, I'm moving to Doha myself with my wife and 2 yr old daughter. I was in Doha in July for four days to explore the city, and my feedback is, don't expect a lot from Doha, good place to raise kids though, better than UAE and Dubai to be more specific. Look for a place in West Bay area. If you plan to take an appartment in a building then facilities like pool, gym, kids area, suana, steam room etc etc are available in the building and at no extra cost, which is not available in townhouses in compounds, maybe just a pool or gym. Also, ask your husband to look for free hold peoperties, you can now own a house or appartment in Doha, lease period is 99 years, just like Australia. And the rate at which property prices are hiking, you will get a very good price if you plan to leave after a couple of years.
