My husband is starting a job in Kuwait City this fall. My 7 children and I will be coming with him. I see info on small apartments but I'm having a harder time finding information on villas that could accomodate our family of 9. Do they exist and how do they compare with housing in the United States?

Hello

There is no shortage of large houses in Kuwait, because Kuwaiti families tend to be large. There are plenty of villas that would house your family but they will cost and average of around 1000 - 1500 Kd per month, depending on the area, I think that's about 3000 to 4,500 Us $ per month.

I have been living in Kuwait for over 9 years, and I currently run Eastern Homes, which offers newcomers relocation and expat rental services. I'd be happy to answer any more of your questions.
