House rental in the governorate of Ariana

In twenty years, the governorate of Ariana has become the favourite ground of families who want a modern house north of Tunis. Unlike the older neighbourhoods of the capital, what you rent here is mostly recent: two-storey villas in La Soukra, new houses in Raoued or Chotrana, family homes in Borj Louzir. The result is up-to-date features, a garage, a garden, sometimes a pool, in developments designed for family life.

On Houni.tn, listings for houses and villas to rent in Ariana are continuously updated by private owners and professionals. Compare neighbourhoods, floor areas and features before scheduling your viewings.

Why rent a house in Ariana

Ariana appeals first of all through the quality of its housing stock: recent builds, better insulated and better equipped than average, on quiet residential streets. The governorate is also strategically placed: Tunis-Carthage airport, Berges du Lac 2 and the technology hubs employ many executives who live in La Soukra or Chotrana to shorten their commute. Add the density of private schools, clinics and shopping centres, and it is easy to see why demand for house rentals in Ariana stays strong all year round.

The key neighbourhoods for a villa or a recent house

• La Soukra: the most sought-after area, with its garden villas around the Raoued road and the golf course, halfway between the airport and La Marsa.
• Raoued: booming, with new houses close to Raoued beach at rents more accessible than on the northern coast.
• Chotrana: recent developments popular with executives working at Lac 2, with many modern two-storey villas.
• Borj Louzir: a family-oriented, shop-lined neighbourhood, with well-connected homes and a lively local life.
• Ariana town: the governorate capital, older but very practical, between the central market, the metro and the secondary schools.

Budget and viewing: assessing a recent house properly

A new build does not exempt you from checks: test the air conditioning and the water heater, inspect the finishes, the waterproofing of the roof terrace and the compliance of the installations. In La Soukra or Chotrana, the rent depends heavily on the features (pool, mature garden, double garage): list what is actually included in the contract. In Raoued, think about transport links: some new areas remain car-dependent. Finally, budget for a deposit of one to two months' rent and have it set out in writing who looks after the garden and the pool where applicable.
