Residents experiences
Rose,
I have lived in Embakasi for the last 5 years.I used to live in a one bedroom house until my family grew and relocated to a two bedroom house within the same estate.Today,I live in a two bedroom house where I pay Ksh 18,000 per month.
I don’t want to move to another estate because Embakasi is nearer to my office along Mombasa road.I also feel secure here because there are few crime cases we hear around”.
