Despite there are high-end and middle areas that provide all services, there are some tips that will prevent you from making a bad choice when you decide to buy a unit in Hadayek al-Ahram. For example, it is preferable to stay away from the units that overlook the main streets in order to avoid any inconvenience and noise, whereas side streets are completely quiet. Also, avoid buying the units on the high floors, as units on the ground floors are inexpensive.

It is also preferable to live near educational and commercial services and closer to the gates, as this saves a lot of money and effort to move from area to another in the district.

Economic areas in Hadayek al-Ahram

Hadayek al-Ahram district is mainly classified as a mid-level district. Likewise the rest of districts and regions, it has some economic areas, however, the standard of living is not much less than in the middle areas. In fact, there are some communities where the standard of living, services and welfare are low.

Hadayek al-Ahram once was one of the high-end districts established to be a small community within a gated fence, but residents suffered from slum areas and deterioration of the security situation for a while. The area, however, began to restore its basic characteristics: calmness, safety and cleanliness. After the officials have taken the necessary steps and many complaints have been raised by residents to the television and talk shows, the state paid attention to the district and its problems.

Just as there are economic areas in Hadayek al-Ahram, there are also some dangerous areas, in which fraud is frequent during selling or buying the housing units. For example, the high pressure area, through which the high-pressure electric current wires pass and affect the lives of children and the general health of residents. Despite the fact that the prices of properties in this area are low, it is a very dangerous area and not recommended to buy housing units in it. But, you can buy shops in it due to the low prices.

Attention should also be also paid to the units and floors violating the law, as the district is licensed so that all the apartment buildings would be consist of five floors only. Therefore, the sixth floor is against the law, but the buyer is deceived by its cheap price and would meet obstacles during the completion of facilities, such as gas and electricity.

Since tuk-tuk vehicles are prohibited in the area, residents may have to walk a great distance up to the Oasis Road after passing the four gates, so it is recommended to own a car or use a safe vehicle.
