Have a look on Bahrain property world as this should give you some idea to narrowing it down and what's available.
It also depends on your budget, furnished or semi furnished, # of bedrooms etc, as to what compounds you'd be looking at as some are more expensive than others and obviously flats are less expensive than villas.
Renting here is a quick process .....we looked at a property one day and within 2 days signed the lease etc.
Hopefully someone can recommend compounds.

Thanks!
How long have you been there? I'm a bit nervous moving abroad...

3rd week for me but its stint #2 for us in Bahrain. My husband works in Saudi too.
Once you're here you'll settle in quickly. People are friendly. The hardest of it (for me) is driving, but you'll get used to that too!!!

Plenty of °µÍø½ûÇøs ...lots of food from home and familiar shops and brands, plus as a parent you'll mingle and socialise more with other parents too which will help.

Feel free to PM me, will be happy to chat, help where I can

Jumping in on this topic, I have just moved here and am trying to decide on a place for myself, my wife and my 13month boy.

I too will travel in to Saudi, and can't decide between living in a compound I prefer or a compound closer to the causeway.

One is in Janabiyah but the one I prefer is in Jannusan. Any advice on whether the traffic difference between these two areas will be significant?

Janabiyah probably slightly closer to causeway but Bahrain isn't large, nothing's far. Jannusan is 1 suburb over from me and I'm not far from highways to causeway but Budaiya highway can get packed and clogged sometimes.

I wouldn't move to Janussan, traffic a nightmare and many fires on Budaiya Highway. Try to stay Sar or Janabiya side if you can. Lots of compounds there and nearer the °µÍø½ûÇø clubs etc

Awesome! That is super helpful! I was narrowed down to hamala, Jasra and janabiya.  But the janabiya side of the causeway is better is what you are saying?
