The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is considered to be one of the cornerstones of the Middle East, which has made it a magnet for global investors and job seekers, especially in recent years. The "Quality of Life" program, part of the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, supports this trend. The program is focused on improving the quality of life of the individual and the family by creating the necessary environment for the participation of citizens, residents and visitors in cultural, recreational, sports, tourism and many other activities.
Saudi cities have also witnessed growth in the development of infrastructure, expanding on the provision of essential services such as water, electricity and public transportation as well as continued development of the Saudi road network. Large expanses of green space have been cultivated in cities with the aim of improving the quality of life, which has had a positive effect throughout the Kingdom.
With regards to other services, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has adopted the same strategy for developing the healthcare sector, with the establishment of specialised hospitals and medical centres that service all parts of the country.
The diversity of housing options is an important point of attraction, as Saudi cities offer residential units in a variety of options - apartments, townhouses and villas - with high design specifications. The largest and most significant residential communities are in the capital, Riyadh, where the government has launched projects such as the villas of Bawabat Al Sharq, apartments and townhouses in northern Riyadh’s Murcia, and several new additions in neighborhoods such as Al Yasmeen, Hittin, Al Rimal, and others.
In Jeddah, the second largest city in the Kingdom, the residential neighbourhoods have been divided amongst those that are in proximity to vital centres of infrastructure such as King Fahd Hospital and King Abdulaziz University in the north, the older neighbourhoods of central Jeddah, and the quieter areas of the south.
For families seeking privacy, Dammam in the east of the Kingdom includes a diverse set of housing options that are, like those of Jeddah, also divided into three parts. The eastern neighborhoods of Dammam are linked to commercial and industrial activity due to the presence of the industrial zone and King Abdul Aziz Port, so it is more of a destination for those working in the industrial and commercial sectors. Central Dammam has the highest population density as it contains the city’s main commercial and tourist attractions, while western Dammam is more sparsely populated by comparison.
There is a vast selection of housing options in all of the major cities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which provides excellent opportunities for everyone seeking a home to suit their lifestyle. The infrastructure to support these residential projects continues to grow, creating a high-quality living experience for individuals and families alike.
