i analyzed 25,900 rental listings in riyadh. here's what each neighborhood costs

Post image
337 Upvotes

every week someone posts here asking "is 45k/year normal for al narjis?" or "where can i find something under 40k?" so i figured i'd share the data.

i've been collecting rental listings from 10+ saudi platforms (aqar, bayut, wasalt, haraj, propertyfinder, etc). right now i have 25,900+ active listings for riyadh alone.

median annual rent by neighborhood:

most expensive:

- Irqah — 85,000 SAR

- Al Nakheel — 80,000 SAR

- Al Muhammadiyah — 72,000 SAR

- Al Sahafah — 65,000 SAR

- Al Narjis — 65,000 SAR

- Al Nada — 65,000 SAR

- Al Safa — 63,500 SAR

- At Taawon — 62,500 SAR

- Al Malqa — 60,250 SAR

cheapest:

- Al Yamamah — 19,000 SAR

- Al Shifa — 23,000 SAR

- Al Marwa — 23,500 SAR

- Dahiat Namar — 24,000 SAR

- Al Aziziyah — 24,000 SAR

- Shubra — 24,500 SAR

- Al Hazm — 25,000 SAR

- As Suwaidi Al Gharabi — 27,000 SAR

- As Suwaidi — 27,000 SAR

- Badr — 27,000 SAR

riyadh overall median: 42,000 SAR/year (apartments)

the gap between the most and least expensive neighborhoods is 2x.

within the same neighborhood you'll find two similar apartments with a 15-20k price difference. without seeing the full distribution you have no way to know which one is the outlier.

this data comes from a side project i've been building. it pulls from all the platforms into one place and shows you where any listing's price falls compared to the rest of its neighborhood. if anyone wants to try it or has questions about a specific neighborhood, ask away.

edit: data sourced from https://darak.app

Aqar app rant

18 Upvotes

Why is this the worst real estate app i have ever seen. You have people listing 1.5m SAR apartments with nothing but pictures of a bathroom and fake (inaccurate) locations. Are u actually serious. Take a page from zillow, property finder, or literally any other app in the world from a developed country.

اللي يدور سيارة مستعملة: كم موقع تفتح قبل تلقى اللي يناسبك؟

أشتغل على موقع اسمه «شوير»، وفكرته تختصر التنقل بين حراج وسيارة والسوق المفتوح وسعودي سيل: تدخل السيارة ونطاق السنوات والميزانية، ويبحث لك في المواقع الأربعة ويعرض روابط الإعلانات المطابقة اللي قدر يقرأها.

شاركته قبل في ريديت، ومن ملاحظات الناس أضفت نطاق السنوات والأسعار وحفظ البحث عشان ما يعيدون كتابة كل شيء.

ودي أجربه مع ناس يدورون سيارات فعلًا: ابحث عن السيارة اللي في بالك، وقل لي هل طلع لك شيء مفيد؟ وإذا تعرف إعلانًا مطابقًا وما ظهر، هذي ملاحظة تهمني أكثر من المجاملة.

للتوضيح أنا صاحب الموقع، والنتائج عينة من الإعلانات وليست كل المعروض.

https://showeer.baseera.pro/smart-search/

وش أكثر شيء يتعبكم بالبحث: تكرار الإعلانات، اختلاف الأسعار، أو نقص التفاصيل؟

Saudi graduate back in Riyadh, open to project management and coordination roles.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently came back to Riyadh, where I was born and raised, after finishing my studies in the UK. I was in talks for a junior project manager role, but it has been on hold, and with the ongoing war hiring has slowed down. I’m still optimistic and open to opportunities in the meantime.
A bit about me:
• Saudi national, so no work visa needed, and I can start immediately
• Law degree plus a master’s in International Hospitality Management
• Content and editorial work since 2018, including festival and conference content for Ministry of Culture projects
• Executive assistant to a hotel General Manager in Riyadh and York
• Fluent in Arabic and English
Some of the projects I’ve worked on:
• JAX Arts Festival (2022): created the verbal identity and slogan, wrote the festival presentation content and posts, and managed the publishing plan
• Saudi Feast Food Festival (2022): wrote content across 10 festival zones and ran a combined publishing plan and content calendar with regular progress reports
• Digital Universities MENA conference (2023): wrote the press release, social posts and video scripts, translated the agenda and speaker bios, and edited the content
I’m looking for project management or coordination roles, and I’m also open to content, editorial, events or executive support. If anyone can help, or knows of an opening, I’d really appreciate it. Happy to share my CV by DM.

Seeking advice (طلب المشورة) Can non-students visit Princess Nourah University’s central library?

2 Upvotes

I recently came across photographs of Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, and the campus looks like an architectural marvel! I’d love to visit and see it in person, especially the central library.
Does anyone know if visitors who aren’t students or staff are allowed to enter the university and visit the library? If so, what’s the process? Do you need prior permission or an appointment, or can you simply walk in?
Would appreciate any information from someone who has visited or knows how it works. Thank you!

Seeking advice (طلب المشورة) How to terminate tenancy agreement from abroad

I am out of Saudi at the moment. Due to the war between Saudi and Houthi and our government 's travel advice, I decided not to return and want to terminate my tenancy. However, ejar.sa is blocked when visiting from abroad. Is there a way to terminate tenancy properly?

P.s. I couldn't find a Saudi VPN to visit ejar. I have given notice to the landlord via WhatsApp

Seeking advice (طلب المشورة) Riyadh Parking fined me SAR 200 for not paying, but I have a paid ticket.

3 Upvotes

Looking for opinions from anyone who's dealt with Riyadh Parking objections.

What happened:

On Saturday 11 April 2026 I parked on Prince Mohamed bin Abdulaziz St (Zone Z5) and paid at the machine with my card:

* Issued: 11:11 AM
* Expiry: 12:10 PM
* Paid: SAR 3.45 incl. VAT, transaction approved

I still have both the parking ticket and the card receipt.

Later I found a violation in the app for "Using a parking spot without paying the required fee," SAR 200. The violation time is 11:40 AM on 11 April 2026, in Zone 005, on Prince Mohamed bin Abdulaziz St. That's 29 minutes into my paid session, in the same zone, on the same street!

What I have done:
* I raised an objection about 4 months ago, since you need to wait 2 months for the date you get a ticket to raise an objection
* I followed up with multiple complaints asking them to actually look into it.
* They eventually closed the objection saying it was my fault, with no explanation at all.
* When I asked how it was my fault, they told me to go to court.

My questions:
* Has anyone had an objection rejected like this despite having proof of payment?
* Has anyone taken a parking violation to court?
* How long did it take, and was it worth it?
* Is it worth fighting for SAR 200, or is everyone just paying these?
* Any other route that worked for you before going to court?

I know it's only 200 riyals, but rejecting an objection backed by a paid ticket, with no reason given, doesn't sit right with me. Curious about what you guys think?

TL;DR: Paid for parking 11:11 AM–12:10 PM (receipt approved) but got a SAR 200 "didn't pay" fine timestamped 11:40 AM, same zone and street. Objected 4 months ago and followed up several times. They rejected it with no reason and told me to go to court.

Need anyone in Riyadh willing to exchange 150 SAR cash for an STC Bank transfer to my account (urgent)

1 Upvotes

I currently have 150 SAR in cash that I need to deposit into my STC Bank account. STC Bank requires a minimum top-up of 300 SAR. I can’t meet that minimum as I’m an unemployed 18 year old who needs to pay off a due bill.

I was wondering if anyone in Riyadh would be willing to transfer 150 SAR to my STC Bank account in exchange for 150 SAR cash. This would be a person-to-person exchange. I’ll hand over the cash once the transfer is confirmed.

Seeking advice (طلب المشورة) 5 years coordinating teams across gaming, marketing, and IT. One shipped Vision 2030 project. Now working in construction. How did I end up here?

1 Upvotes

For the past five years, I've worked with gaming studios, digital agencies, and IT companies, coordinating teams, managing delivery, and helping turn ideas into finished products and much more.

One of the projects I'm proud of is a Saudi government-backed Vision 2030 initiative for NHS. I co-authored the winning bid, and the project went on to deliver an interactive 3D open-world platform where people can explore homes before they're built. From a production perspective, it had a lot in common with game development.

Back in Pakistan, I was a Business Development Manager at an IT firm, consulting on the side. Life was comfortable, but I wanted to work on projects with a more tangible impact. So I moved to Saudi Arabia.

Things didn't go as planned.

I've sent over 1,500 job applications and reached out directly to founders and studio leads. The opportunities haven't materialized, and I needed to keep earning. Today, I'm doing physically demanding construction work while continuing to look for a way back into the industry.

It's taking a toll, but I'm not giving up on the career I've spent five years building. I actually cannot because that's where heart and passion is.

I'm looking for an opportunity to contribute to a team that builds things. That could mean production coordination, project support, associate producer work, or another role where my experience can make a difference, whether in gaming, marketing, or IT. (It's much more than just this) ALLHAMDULILLAH

I'm not asking anyone to hand me a job. Give me a real opportunity to demonstrate what I can do, even through a short trial or project.

Currently in Riyadh, Transferable Iqama and Immediately available.

If you work in game development, production, marketing, or studio operations, or know someone who does, I'd genuinely appreciate 15 minutes for a conversation. I'm not expecting a job offer from a single conversation. Just a chance to connect, discuss where I could add value, and hopefully get my foot back in the door.

If you've been through something similar, I'd also like to hear how you found your way forward.

خدمة stc للتعامل مع العملاء سيئة جداً | كيف ممكن التعامل مع المشكلة ؟

1 Upvotes

يا اخوان والله الوضع لا يحتمل حاليا مع خدمة عملاء اس تي سي حاليا انا غيرت محل الاقامة من حي الى حي اخر مثل اي انسان طبيعي رفعت طلب للتغير عنوان الخدمة وحددت موعد النقل بعديومين وهو كان يوم السبت الماضي, جا يوم السبت وما احد تواصل تواصلت معهم اكدولي انه الخدمة قيد المعالجة وسيتم التواصل معي يوم الاحد قلنا خير

جا الاحد وما احد تواصل رجعت كلمتهم اليوم بعد نقاش عقيم مع موظف خدمة العملاء حولني للمشرف, المشرف خبرني في مشكلة في طلبي متعلقة برمز الدخول والمهم انه عالج المشكلة وحددلي موعد اليوم قالي من الساعة 1 الى الساعة 5 ان شاء الله بيتواصل معي الفريق التقني لتشغيل الخدمة في الموقع الجديد

وحاليا راحت الساعة 1 لل 5 وكلمتهم في الخمس ايام الماضية اكثر من 10 مرات وكل مرة نفرع تصعيد نسوي استعجال و انا متاكد انه في مشكلة في الطلب نفسه لان بكلم الرقم الخاص بالمواعيد التابع ل اس تي سي والرد الالي بيخبرني انه مافي مواعيد على رقمي. كلمت خدمة العملاء للمرة المليون وشرحت المشكلة للمرة المليون والرد الجاني انه الطلب فشل ولازم ارفع طلب جديد , تقبلت الخسارة وقلت تمام

جيت ارفع طلب جديد موظف خدمة العملاء يقولي لازم ترجع تشغل الخدمة عشان ارجع افصلها ويتم النقل (اسوء من المنطق الموجود في الاجراءات ما شفت)

المهم جيت ارجع الخدمة على حسب الخطوات من الموظف يظهرلي انه لازم اكلم 900 عشان يرجعولي الخدمة و المشكلة 900 ما يحولني على موظف خدمة العملاء و الان لا عندي نت ولا عندي طلب ما شاء الله جالسين يعدو علي فلوس والاشتراك شغال وانا مش مستفيد هل في جهة لحماية المستهلك, هل في جهة اقدر ارفع شكوة عن طريقها على stc لان الوضع سيئ, ولا في تجاوب من قبلهم ولا في حلول

لو اي احد مر في تجربة مماثلة يا ريت تفيدونا شو الاجراء الافضل في هذي الحالة

I have tried non-stimulants, but have not worked on me much.

I just landed yesterday and have carried enough meds for the next 1-2 months max. Any good suggestions for a psychiatrist in Riyadh (preferably in or around KAFD or Al Olaya) who speaks English?
