Is this a good deal? New house!

Hey gals,

need your input on a decision we took as a family.

We were looking for a house URGENTLY since our current house isnt a proper place for our baby anymore. We live in a huge compound that doesnt maintain it anymore. Its dirty, the garbage isnt collected daily, almost always there is garbage on the floor, the sewage system is horrible, most of the times it smells.. the road in the compound is full of holes, horrible!! the park is dirty and ruined, the greenery place is dead, I dont think they water the plants!!!!

AAAHHHHHH also, in the block we live its a 2 floor block, each floor has 4 appt.. andddd our neighbours are a mess!!!!!!! am sorry to vent about it but why would anyone want to leave their shoes outside their door?????????? why not get closed shelves and put them inside? or maybe in the balcony?! they are always outside and full of dust!!!!!!! and some smell!!!!!!!!! also, it is horrible since sometimes when our neighbour cooks the smell of the cooking kicks in our house!!

Soooooooooo, we found a one floor villa in a decent compound in Moaider that consists of 1 master bedroom with attached bedroom.. 2 guest bedrooms, 1 separate bathroom, dining and sitting room connected.. kitchen with attached room and bathroom for maid. Parking lot for 2 cars. The amount goes above what we pay for about 3,000QR. We used to pay QR5,000 for a small 2bed - 2 bathroom, tiny kitchen and dining+sitting room + 1 parking lot......... AND ALL THOSE HORRIBLE DESCRIPTIONS I GAVE YOU!

Sooooooooo, is this a good deal? or could we have found a better deal?! I am hesitant about this change, because 3k is kindda a lot, but we seriously need to move out. With the prices decreasing, could we have found something better and/or cheaper?

When I came to Qatar, I learn this - what you pay is what you will get. So depends on how much you want to fork out.

If the Maid's room is you can still have your privacy by renting it to someone you know and can trust.
