Maadi

Maadi is Cairo's most established expatriate family district, a leafy, low-rise, suburban-feeling quarter south of the city centre that has been the preferred residential choice for international diplomats, oil executives, and US embassy staff for decades. The neighborhood is distinguished by its wide tree-lined streets, large villa compounds, and exceptional concentration of international schools. Residential prices run EGP 35,000-75,000 per square metre (USD 700-1,500) with gross yields of 7.0-10.0%. The market mixes mid-20th-century villa compounds, modern luxury apartments, and gated developments specifically designed for expatriate families. Lifestyle is family-focused: Cairo American College, Cairo English School, multiple international schools, the Maadi Sporting Club, and a calm suburban feel rare in Cairo.
