My family live in Wakrah (2yo & 1yo) and we prefer being out here to in Doha (I lived in Doha for 8 years). No-where is far from anywhere in Qatar and as long as you drive there'll be no problems with living in Wakrah. My hubby works in Old Airport Area and it takes him 10-15 minutes in the morning depending on traffic.
The beach is 2 minutes away and there's pretty much everything you need in Wakrah. Villaggio is a 35 minute drive away so is really not far at all. I'm not a fan of compounds so we're in a stand alone villa and they're cheaper then in Doha so you get more for your money. My advice would be to go for a villa with a garden rather then a compound but that's my personal opinion.
