We've got a nice 2bedroom flat for 7k in old airport area.  It's nice, friendly atmosphere, neighbourly place, safe to walk around (the girls don't get stared at) and it feels a lot more "real" than living in a compound.  Don't get me wrong, some compounds are really nice and I can see the benefits, but a 7k 2BR in old airport, where you can walk to shops is great.
