List of Best Estates to Live in Nairobi

3196

When you are choosing the best estate to live in Nairobi,you definitely have to select the best out of the 53 estates in the city.

Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya and has more than 50 estates which accommodate over 4 million people. More than 80 percent of the people who live in these estates were not originally born in the city but have migrated in search of greener pastures.

In the process of searching for houses for accommodation,these individuals consider several factors,which include:

  1. Clean apartments
  2. Plenty of water
  3. Security
  4. Apartment prices
  5. Closeness to Nairobi CBD
  6. Drainage system

It’s quite unfortunate that several estates don’t have constant supply of water,but some landlords have made it possible by having bore holes in their houses.

The most important thing to consider when looking for a house in Nairobi is rental charges.But as you know,we have different financial strengths,I can choose a house of Ksh 15,000 in rent while another person is comfortable with Ksh 150,000 rent…it all depends on your pocket.

We have covered a significant part of the city,conducting research on the best estates to settle in in a bid to help those seeking for good houses in secure estates.

There are some estates we have not listed below because of their history of crime and other challenges like lack of water and poor drainage system.The estates include Kayole,Kibera,Mathare,Dandora and Kariobangi.
