The properties deteriorate fairly quickly here. I live in a 5 year old flat, and it is considered "older". There are new and old buildings all mixed together, so it's hard to tell you if one is better than the other. West Bay does tend to be more high end... You want to spend less than 10K? They say prices are going down, but since the housing market is artificially high here anyway there's nothing to push them down. So, for less than 10K you'll get a 2-3 bedroom flat, and not a really nice one on the water or probably no gym or pool. Perhaps a small stand-alone villa.
Yeah, think you need to come here and look or get someone to check places out here for you.
