Land in Nairobi is expensive and the cost keeps going up by the day. In fact, this high cost has locked many Kenyans in the middle-income class from prime areas closest to Nairobi.
But that has not extinguished the dream of many Kenyans of having a plot and building a home of their taste. Or just getting fairly priced land to speculate on.
Getting affordable land in an area with promising returns and other conditions that support settlement and business is about as hard as finding a genuine real estate company to deal with.
Towns with affordable land
Those who check around carefully have discovered the remaining gem in property in Nairobi: Kangundo Road. This stretch has made dreams come true for thousands of people and it seems to generously create more space for others.
In this article, we expound on the areas that most people from Nairobi prefer to invest in when it comes to land. Well, Kangundo Road is one of the fastest-growing property investment destinations among routes connecting Nairobi to the outskirts.
The main reason is the affordable land rates along the route and outlying areas. This has stimulated the growth of a number of urban centres along the road, which have turned out to be lucrative real estate investment hubs on the eastern side of Nairobi.
Some of the major towns in the area include.
