As real estate sector continue to develop in Nairobi, there are emerging estates with elegant and modern apartments, and surprisingly they are very cheap.
There are several factors that result to accelerated growth in some estates while others lag behind. One of the motivating factor is the construction of major roads like Thika Road and closeness to Nairobi CBD.The other factor is available parking space as well as how big the rooms are in those apartments.
Looking at various estates in Nairobi, here are estates with newest and most elegant apartments in Nairobi.
Imara Daima
Imara Daima is just next to Mombasa Road, and the estate is growing increasingly fast. More than 60 % of apartments in Imara Daima are new and elegant.
Ngong
Ngong is developing faster than any other estate in Nairobi. Despite the estate having newest buildings, rental prices are very affordable.
Rongai
Over the last one decade,Rongai has grown tremendously.Today,it’s home to over 30,000 Nairobians.
The small town has the cheapest apartments in Nairobi, and the best thing is that they are very cheap.
Ruiru
The construction of Thika Super Highway gave way to growth of Ruiru town. If you manage to visit Ruiru, you’ll notice that most apartments in the town are new. But the interesting thing is that they are affordable for middle class people.
Langata
There are several new apartments coming up in Langata.Fortunately, apartments here are not so expensive. If you have Ksh 15, 000, you can rent a one bedroom modern house
Utawala
More than 60 % of apartments in Utawala are new, and there are several others coming up. What surprises me is how cheap these apartments are, I guess it’s because the estate is somehow far from Nairobi CBD.
Roysambu
Roysambu has cheap apartments too but most of them consist of one bedroom houses only. But if you want to spend less on rent, this is the place to stay.
Parklands
If you want to live near Nairobi City,Parklands should be your number one choice.There are several new apartments in parklands but they aren’t ideal for people who intend to spend less than Ksh18,000 per month for rent.
South B
Most apartments in South B are new with modern designs.But the unfortunate part is that a one bedroom house goes for Ksh 25,000-Ksh35, 000.
If you are earning less than Ksh 150, 000, South B is not ideal for you,unless you live in a bedsitter.
Kitengela
From Nairobi CBD to Kitengela is Ksh80-Ksh100.But a one bedroom house is Ksh 10,000.Why live where you pay Ksh 15,000 for an old apartment without even water and leave a new apartment in Kitengela with lots of water,parking space,breathing space and even play ground?
Kileleshwa
Do you know you can get a well furnished bedsitter in Kileleshwa at Ksh20,000?
If you love class,this is the estate to live in Nairobi.
