Buying in Nairobi, without the guesswork

Nairobi's sale market splits roughly in two. West of the city — Karen, Runda and along Kiambu Road — you're buying land as much as house: half-acre plots, standalone villas and gated townhouses where the value sits in the space and the address. Closer in, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Lavington and Westlands are apartment territory, where the numbers that matter are rental yield and how quickly a unit lets after handover.

Guide prices on this page reflect what sellers are actually accepting, not asking. Villas in Karen and Runda generally start around KES 45M and climb well past KES 100M for larger plots; apartments in the inner suburbs open near KES 9M for a one-bed and sit between KES 15M and KES 25M for family-sized three and four-beds.

Before you make an offer on anything listed here, we commission an independent valuation and run full title verification — including an Ardhisasa search — so you know what you're buying and what it's worth. Site visits are accompanied by the advisor who stays with you through to handover.
