A suburb located southeast of the city towards the mountains, 10-15 minutes by car from the city center, very convenient to the major road Al Farabi that circles the city. Many homes are large and designed for entertaining, as the area is the home of several ambassadors. However, there are numerous modest, well-constructed homes. Crisp, clean air, lots of trees, open fields and fruit orchards, not to mention beautiful views make this area in high demand. However, new construction creates dust and noise.
Electricity is stable, water supplied by city.
Four-wheel drive helpful. This charming, leafy district is southeast 5-10 minutes from the city center, near Gorky Park. It is noted for abundant fruit trees and family-style neighborhoods. There are houses in all shapes and sizes and most have lovely gardens. As it is an established area, there is less construction and often times limited availability.
