The only district that gives families a real choice

Six three-bedroom units and three two-bedroom units — the highest family availability in the yearly market among the northern districts. For comparison: Al Malqa offers four three-bedroom units and nothing with two bedrooms, Al Nafal has a single unit, and Al Aqiq has none at all.

What this means for a family looking for yearly housing: Qurtubah is where the comparison starts, not where you end up after ruling everything else out.

Al Nafal — average 69,963 SAR with closely clustered prices, and a single family unit.
Al Malqa — average 72,414 SAR and a lower entry price (59,400), but no two-bedroom category.

Where is Qurtubah and what is around it?

Qurtubah lies in east Riyadh, between Dammam Road to the south, Al Thumamah Road to the north and Airport Road to the west, bordered by Ghirnatah to the south, Al Munsiyah to the east and Al Falah to the west. For a family choosing a home for a year or more, the district's biggest advantage is that public and private schools for every grade level are available within it and in the neighbouring districts, and Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University is close by, so children are spared a long daily trip.

Daily services are all in place: Granada Mall sits on the edge of the district, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés are spread throughout it, there are clinics and health centres in the district, and the major hospitals are no more than a quarter of an hour away by car. For the daily commute, Khurais Road and Dammam Road connect it to the city centre, and the Eastern Ring Road takes you to Airport Road: Al Olaya and KAFD in about 20 to 30 minutes, and the airport in about 25 minutes. A quiet district that suits families who work in east Riyadh or want gentler prices than the north without giving up services.

Who is a yearly lease in Qurtubah right for?

Families: nine units with two or three bedrooms — the widest family choice among the neighbouring districts.
Singles and couples: 32 one-bedroom units starting from 65,520 SAR a year.
Anyone who wants options to compare: 41 units means you genuinely choose rather than settle for what is left.
Families planning to grow: the option of moving to a larger unit within the same district without changing schools or commute.

Tips before you sign in Qurtubah

The gap between one and two bedrooms is about 24 thousand SAR a year: review how much space you actually need before deciding.
The gap between two and three bedrooms is small: only about 1,500 SAR a year — if you are torn between them, the larger one is better value.
Book family units early: only nine units across both categories in the entire district.
Ask about the payment schedule: splitting the rent into instalments is a negotiable term in many leases.
