Apartments for rent in Sidi Daoued

In Sidi Daoued, a flat to rent is almost always in a residence a few storeys high, built on a former villa plot or along the main roads. The area, south of La Marsa, looks towards Lac 2 and the airport, and that is exactly what draws its tenants: you reach the office in a few minutes while still sleeping in La Marsa.

Listings for a flat rental in sidi daoud are posted by owners and by agencies in the northern suburbs, with the advertiser's phone number. To widen the search to Marsa Erriadh, Ain Zaghouan or L'Aouina, the page of flats to rent in La Marsa covers the whole delegation.

Recent residences, S+1 and S+2 flats

The housing stock is young compared with Marsa Ville. You mainly find S+1 and S+2 flats, a few S+3, in buildings with a lift, a basement parking space and a caretaker. Finishes vary a lot from one developer to another: some flats were delivered with a fitted kitchen and air conditioning, others leave the tenant to equip them. Furnished flats exist, often managed by agencies.

A flat to rent in sidi daoud suits a couple without children or a small family, less so a student flatshare: few studios, and rents set for managers' salaries. If you are weighing it against a villa floor or a house, all the accommodation to rent in Sidi Daoued is grouped on a single page.

The profiles are similar: engineers and sales staff from the head offices at the Lake, young couples leaving a studio in the centre, families waiting for an off-plan flat to be delivered. Many look for an s+2 to rent in sidi daoud to keep a guest room or a home office, and view in the early evening, after work.

Rents: in the upper range for La Marsa

An S+1 in a residence often rents for between 1,000 and 1,500 DT, an S+2 for between 1,300 and 2,000 DT depending on the floor, parking and furniture. That is a little above Bhar Lazreg or L'Aouina, a notch below Gammarth and residences with a pool. The differences come down to concrete details: a closed parking space, a dual-aspect flat, a terrace.

The offer varies from week to week. It tightens in summer, when some furnished flats switch to short lets for the diaspora, then becomes more plentiful again in autumn. Tenants from companies at the Lake arrive all year round, which smooths out the seasonality somewhat.

When viewing and signing

Ask how much the building service charges are and what they cover: caretaker, lift, lighting of common areas, upkeep of the car park. Check that the lift really works and that the parking space is actually attached to the flat. In recent residences, look at the state of the bathroom seals and at damp on north-facing walls, which is common near the sea and the Lake.

Insist on a written lease, registered at the tax office, stating the term, the rent, the deposit, usually one or two months, and the annual review rule. For a furnished flat, have the inventory attached. For getting around, count on a car or a taxi: the TGM is far and buses are rare.
