My definition of a good compound is one that is:

clean
modern
has a pool
has a gym room
restaurant (maybe)
nice, modern 1 or 2 bedroom apartments fully furnished w/AC
and are safe

etc.....etc....

well maintained
has great social life
affordable

yes there is a compound like that on every street corner
they are desperate for tenants
they are offering cash rewards to people who are willing to move in

The Eurovillage compound is excellent. Very good villas, an excellent restaurant. Good sport facilities. Also there is a very good school attached - the IPS school - which is relatively new, but fast gaining a reputation as one of the best schools in the Dammam/Dhahran/Al Khobar area.

Lovely pool for lap swimming, and friendly staff, mostly from the Philippines. Many expats visit Eurovillage for their restaurant, which is a good reflection on the quality of the food offered. Full buffet cost is 40 - 50 riyals. 'A la carte meals' around 20 riyals.

Prices are competitive and offer excellent value for money. The residents and families you come across in the restaurant seem to be very happy.
