As with Dubai, an influx of people coming to live and work in Abu Dhabi has driven rental prices through the roof. Some of the larger international real estate agents have recently arrived in Abu Dhabi. Competition can be fierce so it is wise to do your homework before you arrive so you don’t end up with something overpriced and underrated. Unless you have a job that includes a company flat or affords you a generous living allowance, a lot of expats have turned to sharing flats or renting rooms. Check with online sources, newspapers or supermarket and coffee shop bulletin boards for finding a decent living space and inquire with local expats as to where you might find something that fits your budget in a part of town that is practical for getting to and from work.
Hiring an agency, like Colliers International and Asteco, to find a flat for you can save time and hassle but they do charge a fee for their services usually in the range of 5%. Weigh your options as living off the island or further down the Corniche can get you a better price since flats are going for AED 40 000 for a 1 bedroom apartment, AED 70 000 for a 2 bedroom, AED 90 000 for a 3 bedroom and AED 140 000 for a 4 bedroom apartment anywhere near the city. The only downside to that is the commute to work and back everyday.
Popular with the professional expat crowd who hold a job in Abu Dhabi are the neighborhoods of Karama, Manasir and Musalla Eid as they are fairly city central and very near to parks and schools.
