4-bed unfurnished are 880/month. But, its near impossible to get a place to live there. Long waiting list. Same at Dawood. I was living in PG for the past 5 months with 2 roomies but we had to move out last week. Now at Sohar Gardens and a 2 bedroom furnished is 550/month. Quite expensive IMO. I am considering taking a roomate but not sure yet.

Hey there @MooseBKK, I'm hoping if you could share some tips on how to get a unit in Sohar Garden Residence - I'm moving to Sohar soon and it would be ideal to stay there. I tried sending emails to the sales team and manager but didn't get any response.

Ya, they wont answer. Most of the decent apartments in Sohar are taken so you end up on a wait list. Its all just luck. You just have to show up. I assume that the company you work for will put you up in a hotel for a while?

Thanks for the reply @MooseBKK - yeah, I'll be staying in a hotel for about a month. But realizing how difficult it is to find accommodation options that suit me, I was thinking to start working on it early.

Plan B, if the complex are full - what would be my next best option? Ideally I would like to stay in an area where I can socialize with other expats, since I will be staying alone.

Hi,

Palm Gardens quite expensive (750 for a 3 bed) and not furnished but a lot of expats.
Outside compound a lot for rent, 3 or 4 beds from 200 till 300 even furnished. Check olx.om and om.opensooq.com for rentals.

Hii,
Could you find a decent place in Sohar to live? I just saw your post about palm gardens so I was wondering if you found a place there.

After living in Palm Gardens for 850 rial a month we found a nice house with 3 bedrooms close by for 300 a month if you don't mind having only arab neigbours. We were looking for a good fiber option internet connection and were very pleased to live there. Moved away from Oman last october after we didn't find a way to drive back to Europe what are plan was.
