Saudi Aramco Housing
Saudi Aramco makes every effort to house its employees in comfortable, efficient homes that are built, managed and maintained by the company. Employees are charged a reasonable rent for housing, but the company absorbs the costs of utilities and maintenance.
Each company community has the same basic standard of housing. The homes in the central parts of these communities were mostly built in the 1940s and 1950s. Many have been renovated. They're neat, comfortable homes on tree-lined streets. As these communities grew, mainly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, more homes were built. There are a variety of housing types, from multi-story apartment units, to townhouses, to freestanding homes.
Types of Housing
The kind of housing you have depends on your family status:
- Single men and women generally live in units that range between 500 and 1,000 square feet. These may be in apartment-type structures or attached townhouses with private patios.
- Family-status employees live in townhouses or freestanding units. The sizes of these units will vary, but range between 1,500 and 2,200 square feet. Most units have attached garages and small yards or garden areas.
