In this guide, we break down the areas worth considering based on reported property prices and rental listings, so you can match your budget to the right part of the city. Keep in mind there is no official government ranking of neighbourhoods — these are indicative figures to help you start your search.

Higher-end neighbourhoods

If your priority is a more established or premium setting, two areas stand out for higher property values:

Wadi Al-Rummah: The highest reported median property price in Ar Rass, at roughly SAR 514 A good fit for buyers who want a higher-tier area.
Al-Manar: Among the more expensive neighbourhoods, with a reported median of about SAR 487

These neighbourhoods typically appeal to buyers seeking long-term value and a settled residential feel.

Mid-range options

For those balancing cost and comfort, a couple of areas sit in the middle of the market:

Al-Nakheel: Reported median property price of around SAR 451 per square metre — a popular middle choice.
Al-Muruj: More affordable than the premium areas, with a reported median near SAR 279

Budget-friendly neighbourhoods

If affordability is your main concern, these areas report the lowest property prices in the city:
