How do owners of this plush village benefit from it.
Most of the over 60 houses are always empty.Only a few tenants wa UN huishi huko.
Pesa ya scandal gani ilifunikwa hapa,no genuine investor would invest on such moribund project.
Ama waziuze if letting them is not working.

The concept is flawed. Mbirrionea hapendi kuishi next to neighbours. It is the reason why mbirrioneas buy islands.
A Kenyan mbirrionea is even worse. They don’t like being known or seen by nosy neighbours.
Very true. This is no different from living in a flat.
You cannot have peace of mind when the kids are playing outside.
The developer is one greedy nigger/niggerless.
Kabisa. They would only appeal to an expatriate and they don’t offer value for money to a Kenyan birrionaire.
300k to rent South C style mansions on 1/8 of an acre and 70m to buy. Upus
Hata commenters wanakubali ni upus
I have visited the place. The houses are pretty spacious with an enclosed playground on the backyard. I think this was taken before the green fences took root.
Security inside is good. But I think there is a slum near there as on the way there are a lot of idling suspect individuals raising issues of security while going home. …though hopefully the many security barriers in Runda counters this.
I did not see lots of empty houses last time I visited. And looking at costs of some houses in Runda, these are actually reasonable
why buy something at a premium price yet it is in a congested place?
Most of the houses are empty,take a drive,the first row that faces Karura forest has no occupant.
Oh I haven’t been to that side. I mostly visit the ones on the ruaka rd entrance starting with lane c and they seem almost fully occupied.
when your neighbor chops onions, you also cry.
Is it the one to Regis School?
For two months straight, I only saw a handful of vehicles getting in. Didn’t know what to make of that.
The slim could be a factor. Or not.
Concrete monstrosity
In Nairobi today most homes are being built on 1/8ths. So he’s simply following a trend.
And in fact most of those UN workers come from countries where homes are built on smaller lots. The designs are ok, not great. There’s two big flaws. One, all have the same/similar design. Points to serious cost cutting. Or laziness of the architect. 2nd is the curb appeal is poor. Very weak look from the driveway. For 70m, you want a house that’s pleasing to the eye. These look like an industrial zone.
A 70m house on an eighth of an acre is reasonable? Kweli ni mimi pekee yangu sina pesa.
Most landlords and agents install curtains and controlled lighting to empty houses with street view to give an impression that the place is occupied. Hamia huko ujipate na a handful neighbours.
Looks like a future slum
I would really like to know which billionaire (inclusive K-talk standard billionaire) would spend 70M to buy such a house.
Hapa the owner(s) likely went huko majuu and found similarly built houses and they were over impressed. They blindly copy pasted the same design hoping Kenyans would line up to buy the properties.
What i know is thatvthe richer one gets the choosier you become. You want a specific house design in a specific location. You want your neighbourhood to have some specific characteristics sio idlers kwa gate or run down kiosks outside the estate.
Hapa the owners children ndio wata inherit and end up selling them very cheaply waende wakakunywe hio pesa.
So you say while perched kwa your 6th floor bed sitter hapo pipeline.
Really?
Yes, really. Are you challenging me
As a mountain person I cannot buy a house or plot or build somewhere if I cannot keep chicken, burn meat outside, wash my car unjudged, rev my FH in the morning etc.
