Where should I live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia? I'm not sure what the difference is between living in a western?
compound or in the diplomatic quarters, or whether one is cheaper or safer than the other. Can someone tell me? Also, how do I go about renting an apt? I've heard that caucasians tend to get the worst prices, is this true? While I am an american citizen, I'm also chinese, so will this help in price negotiations if negotiation is indeed possible?

Compounds are more expensive, gated, security, community amenities. In the DQ there are expats and Saudis, still safe, parks and recreation, amenities, bit cheaper than a compound. You can rent an apartment by looking at the classified ads, a real estate office located in the area you are interested in, you just have to go around offices and ask. You can check out some companies that help expats get housing.
