Ruai is one of the fastest developing estates in Nairobi with modern houses and less congestion. If there is an area with modern and affordable apartments, then Ruai is one.
In this area,a single room is Ksh 2,500-Ksh4,500 while a bedsitter is Ksh3,500-Ksh7,000,and a one bedroom house is Ksh 6,500-Ksh10,000.
A very spacious two bedroom house costs Ksh9, 000-Ksh16, 000, which is Ksh 7,000-Ksh 15,000 less than what you will pay in estates like Langata, South B,Kasarani and Nyayo.
If you are working along Mombasa Road, Ruiru, Nairobi CBD or the surrounding areas, Ruai can be the best place to live.
Let me tell you the best thing about living in the outskirts of the city. When living and working in Nairobi, your health should be paramount, and to be guaranteed a perfect health, you need a less polluted environment with few human beings.Ruai has fresh air, it’s less congested, there is enough space for your kids to play and schools are relatively cheap.
And if you are wondering about transport cost, from Ruai to Nairobi CBD will cost you Ksh 80-Ksh100 which is Ksh20 more than what you can pay if you live in areas like Githurai.But the cost of living is favourable to struggling Nairobians.
