As Doha's expat population is increasing, the city is offering more accommodation options to suit聽everyone's taste. Whether you're looking for a house, apartment or high-end villa, depending on your聽budget and lifestyle, finding a nice place to live in shouldn't be a hard task.

If you live and work in Doha, you can either find accommodation on your own or benefit from facilities聽provided by your employer. In general, you can choose between a yearly or monthly lease contract.

Types of accommodation in Doha

Apartments

The downtown area is filled with a wide variety of apartment buildings, from the cheapest to the most聽expensive one. Real estate agencies offer a wide range of housing options to suit every taste. Usually, a聽typical apartment building is composed of basic amenities such as indoor pool, mini-gym, and a warm聽reception. High-end apartments are more convenient for expatriates. Some of these are located along聽the coast, allowing you to enjoy a delightful city view at night. Most of them include mini-pub, coffee聽shops, gym, pool, convention venues, free internet and even a tennis court.

Serviced apartments

Housing trends in Doha have evolved over the years to cater to clients seeking more flexible services.聽Several hotel chains are now offering packages that are made for tenants who do not wish to stay more聽than a year in the country. This type of accommodation gives extra comfort, especially for single聽individuals who usually rush in their daily activities and thus have a nomadic lifestyle. Rooms include聽basic housing appliances like washing machine, electric stove, TV and microwave oven. The rent always聽comes in a total package, including electricity, daily housekeeping services and internet connection.

Villas

Villas are the most common type of accommodation in Doha. Some of these are rented by companies that have a considerable number of employees, while others are rented by groups of individuals sharing聽the rent. Other stand-alone villas can be found across the city and are commonly rented or owned by a聽family. Nowadays, new luxury villas, usually situated inside a compound, are cropping up. Tenants can聽walk around freely and share the amenities like a pool, gym and a clubhouse.

During your housing hunt in Doha, you should consider the following: the neighbourhood, proximity to聽your workplace and commuting time, as well as your budget. If you work at the city's outskirt, you should聽consider a place which is very accessible. Areas like Abu Hamour, Al Waab, Barwa and Duhail quite far聽from the city centre. Yet, the quality of their accommodation options is good enough to cater to your聽desires. You will find malls where you can buy your basic needs and nearby parks to chill after a day at聽work.
