CHOOSE YOUR SPACE

How much apartment do you need?

Bedrooms are a useful starting point, but the actual layout can make two apartments with the same bedroom count feel completely different.

01

1 Bedroom

Often considered by first-time buyers, young professionals and investors looking for a property with a potentially wider rental market.

02

2 Bedroom

A popular middle ground for people who want an extra bedroom, more living space or a property that can work for both living and rental purposes.

03

3 Bedroom

Suited to larger households and buyers who want more generous living areas, additional bedrooms and sometimes staff or utility spaces.

04

4 Bedroom

Larger apartments can provide the feel of a substantial home while retaining the convenience of apartment living and shared facilities.

BEYOND THE BEDROOM COUNT

A good apartment has to work after the viewing is over.

It is easy to get carried away by a beautifully furnished show apartment. But when you are buying, try to imagine an ordinary Tuesday rather than the day of the viewing.

Where will you park? How easy is it to get in and out of the neighbourhood? What does the service charge cover? Is there enough storage? How much natural light reaches the living room? These small questions become important once you actually live there.

Location Check roads, traffic, nearby shops, schools, offices, restaurants and public transport.
Service charge Understand what the monthly charge covers and what you are expected to pay separately.
Parking Confirm the number and type of parking spaces allocated to the apartment.
Amenities Look at the facilities included and whether they are maintained and realistically useful to you.
Layout Consider room sizes, natural light, ventilation, storage and how the living spaces connect.
Building management Ask how the development is managed and how common areas and shared facilities are maintained.
BUYING AS AN INVESTMENT

If you plan to rent it out, think like a tenant.

Apartments are a popular investment property because they can be easier to rent and manage than some larger residential properties. But buying any apartment simply because it is in a popular neighbourhood does not automatically make it a good investment.

Look at the kind of tenants the area attracts, competing apartments, achievable rent, service charges, vacancy periods and the condition of the building. A property that looks inexpensive on paper can become less attractive once running costs are included.

In areas such as Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Westlands and Lavington, buyers have many developments to compare. That makes the details matter: apartment size, layout, building management, amenities, parking and the immediate surroundings can all affect how a property performs.

APARTMENTS ACROSS KENYA

Apartment living looks different from one neighbourhood to another.

Nairobi has the widest variety of apartment developments, from smaller buildings in established residential neighbourhoods to large developments with swimming pools, gyms, lifts, backup power, children's areas and other shared facilities.

Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Westlands and Lavington are particularly familiar names for buyers looking for apartments close to Nairobi's commercial and lifestyle centres. Each area has its own mix of older buildings, newer developments and different price points.

Outside Nairobi, apartment living is also becoming an important part of the property market. Nakuru and Kiambu offer options for buyers looking outside the capital, while the Coast has apartments that can appeal to both permanent residents and buyers interested in holiday or rental property.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions buyers ask about apartments

What types of apartments are available for sale?

Apartment listings can include one, two, three and four-bedroom properties, as well as larger and more specialised apartments depending on what is currently available. Apartment sizes, layouts and amenities vary between developments.

Where are the best areas to buy an apartment in Nairobi?

It depends on your budget and what you need from the location. Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Westlands and Lavington are among the neighbourhoods where buyers regularly look for apartments. Karen, Runda and other parts of Nairobi also have apartment developments, although the character of the market differs.

Is a one-bedroom apartment a good investment?

It can be, particularly where there is strong demand from professionals, students or other smaller households. However, purchase price, achievable rent, service charges, competition and vacancy levels should all be considered before making an investment decision.

What is service charge on an apartment?

Service charge is generally paid towards the management and maintenance of shared parts of a development. Depending on the property, it may contribute towards security, cleaning, common areas, lifts, landscaping, shared facilities and other services. Always confirm exactly what is included for the particular apartment.

What amenities should I look for when buying an apartment?

This depends on your needs. Common amenities include parking, security, lifts, swimming pools, gyms, children's play areas, backup power and landscaped spaces. The important thing is to consider whether the facilities are properly maintained and whether they justify the additional costs.

Should I buy a new apartment or an older apartment?

Both can make sense. A newer apartment may have modern layouts, finishes and amenities, while an older development may offer a more established location or larger rooms. Compare the condition, price, service charge, management and surrounding area rather than judging the property only by its age.

What should I check before buying an apartment?

Check the apartment's ownership and documentation, floor area, parking, service charge, building management, condition, access, amenities and any restrictions affecting the property. A qualified professional should be involved where legal or technical verification is required.
