Best areas for families near good international schools in Riyadh?

Anonymous · Elite 02 Aug 2026

Relocating with two kids (ages 7 and 10) in a few months and trying to narrow down where to actually live before we start apartment hunting. I know commute time to school matters a lot day to day, but I don't have a great feel yet for which neighborhoods work well together with which schools without a brutal daily drive. If you're a parent doing the school run in Riyadh, which area has worked well for you and which school are you closest to?
