Demand for land as a real estate investment continues to rise in satellite towns around Nairobi. Over the last few years, this rise can be attributed to increased infrastructural development by both the county and the national governments.
Generally, if you were to compare the prices of an eighth of an acre across different satellite towns, the prices would vary depending on where the land is located, availability or different social amenities and how far the land is from the tarmac.
In a number of these towns, completed and ongoing construction of bypasses and link roads continue to decrease congestion, thus lowering the commute time to and from the Nairobi CBD. This makes the majority of the towns more attractive for those looking to build residential homes and those seeking land investments.
