for gated communities. Full of houses (villas) lots of families with kids. A villa is a house that is located alone (no gated neighborhood) A full-service tower flat is an apartment building, usually with various ammenities (gym, pool, etc) full-service call mean different things according to the tower. Some even come with daily maid service! Expats are all over Doha in all categories. I would suggest for a single person a tower flat in the West Bay area. First, though, find out what your office will be located. Traffic is horrendous in Doha.
