Need Housing in 4 Days: Where to look in Khalifa City A, am I missing something?

Hi ladies, I finally arrived in Abu Dhabi this past week and began my house searching right away. I had set my mind in a 3-bedroom townhouse/villa in Al Raha Gardens, but to my surprise, my 200K budget is not buying anything in that area right now. Apparently the prices just started going up. So I'm looking at Khalifa City A, and I'm so disappointed with the quality of the units (old, cheap looking). While my 200K budget is good for Khalifa City A, they usually show me bigger villas (6+ bedrooms) instead of a good-quality 3-4 bedrooms which is what I want. With that in mind, I have a couple questions: 1) Am I missing any good compounds in Khalifa City A that have contemporary/good quality/finishes small villas? 2) Any other place I could have a chance at finding a 3-4 bedroom townhouse/villa around $200k (not Al Reef, I don't want to be that far). Thank you so much!! I'm quite desperate as I need to find "home" in 4 days :( Rose
