What advice to expats in Amman have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Amman about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Amman, advise newcomers to research the different neighborhoods before deciding on a place to live, as each area has its own unique character and amenities. Popular neighborhoods for expats include Abdoun, Deir Ghbar, and Jabal Amman, which offer a mix of modern and traditional housing options. It is recommended to work with a reputable real estate agent to help navigate the rental market and find a suitable home. Expats should be prepared to negotiate rental prices, as landlords may initially quote higher prices to foreigners. It is also important to carefully review the rental contract and ensure that all agreed-upon terms are clearly stated. When searching for housing, expats should consider factors such as proximity to work, schools, and amenities, as well as the availability of public transportation. Traffic congestion can be an issue in Amman, so living close to work or school can save time and frustration. Expats should also be aware that most rental properties in Amman come unfurnished, so they may need to budget for furniture and appliances. However, furnished options are available, particularly in areas popular with expats. Finally, it is important to be patient and flexible when searching for housing in Amman, as the process can take time and may require adjusting expectations. By doing thorough research and working with a trusted real estate agent, expats can find a comfortable and suitable home in Amman," said another in Amman, Jordan.
