Best Areas to Rent in Al Majma'ah: 2025 Guide

Al Majma'ah (المجمعة) is a growing city in the northern part of the Riyadh region, known for its university, calmer pace, and rental prices that remain far more affordable than the capital. Whether you are a student, a young professional, or a family relocating for work, this guide from سعودي ليفنج breaks down the best districts to rent in and what you can realistically expect to pay in 2025–2026. All figures below are typical asking rents and should be confirmed directly with the landlord or agent before signing.

What rent looks like in Al Majma'ah

Compared with الرياض, Al Majma'ah offers genuinely low rents. As a baseline:

  • One-bedroom apartment in the city centre: around 1,134 SAR/month.
  • One-bedroom apartment outside the centre: around 789 SAR/month.
  • Three-bedroom apartment in the city centre: around 2,367 SAR/month.

Most landlords quote annual rents, and payments are often split into two, three, or four instalments Always check whether the contract is binding (ملزم لا ينفسخ) before committing.

حي الملك عبدالله (King Abdullah District)

A popular choice thanks to its proximity to services and the university. It suits newcomers who want modern, ready-to-move-in units.

  • New one-bedroom apartments (room, living area, kitchen with fitted units and ACs) near services: about 15,000 SAR/year (1,500 SAR/month), typically on a one-year binding contract.
  • Two-bedroom units: around 28,000 SAR/year.

حي الجامعيين (Al Jam'iyyeen)

As the name suggests, this district is close to the university and popular with staff and larger households looking for more space.

  • Two-bedroom apartment (~200 m², one bathroom): about 16,000 SAR/year.
  • Three-bedroom apartment (~240 m², two bathrooms): about 20,000 SAR/year.

حي المطار (Airport District)

A good option for families wanting a full-size apartment at a reasonable rate.

  • Three-bedroom apartment with living room, split ACs in every room, fitted kitchen, and two bathrooms: 18,000 SAR/year in two payments, or 15,000 SAR/year when paid in one instalment.

حي الأندلس (Al Andalus District)

One of the most varied districts for budgets, from small unfurnished units to furnished studio-style options.

  • Small units (room, living area, kitchen, ground floor, shared meter): around 10,000–12,000 SAR/year, with options like 1,100 SAR/month on a 12,000 SAR annual contract paid in four instalments.
  • Furnished one-bedroom or studio-style units (bed, wardrobe, split ACs, TV, fridge, cooker): around 18,000 SAR/year, often paid every six months or every three months.
  • General range in the district: 11,000–20,000 SAR/year, with some offers from 11,500 SAR/year.

حي المروج (Al Muruj District)

A newer area where buildings less than five years old are advertised at roughly 18,000–19,000 SAR/year — ideal if you prefer modern construction.

Tips before you sign

  • Confirm whether the meter is shared (عداد مشترك) or private, as this affects your monthly utility costs.
  • Clarify the payment schedule and whether the contract is binding.
  • Ask what is included: ACs, fitted kitchen, and furnishings vary widely.
  • Register your lease and verify details through the relevant official Saudi government portal.

With patience and a few viewings, Al Majma'ah offers some of the best rental value in the Riyadh region.
