Of late huku Kile there have been a lot of White elephants in the name of ghost properties that are sprung with the hope of attracting the so called expatriates. I see that they have fleed Kile seeing that the once leafy suburb is turning out to resemble Buruburu, with the flats that are cropping up and the rushed building construction.
Anyway, a friend of mine was seeking help kumarket his plots that ever since completion zimebaki ghost town tu.
Some of the property being put up in Nairobi will require more than patience to flip. Nyumba inakaa kama kiota ya ndege in a quasi slum and the owner is asking for top dollar. Upus tuu.
Kile, hurli and lavi are no longer places of prestige to live in. To me they are just convinient places, within the city.
So many flats in the name of apartments, all glory lost.
There are a couple nice buildings though, well planned and all.
Nikipata a good wave of cash I want to get one of those flats close to the mosque opposite d.o.d.
Most houses in Kile are overpriced. Why would I pay 75k for an old 3 bedroom apartment when I can get much newer ones with better finishing on Gitanga or Kilimani?
People come to view then take off once they hear about the price.
In hurlingham old residential buildings are being transformed into commercial buildings. So property prices are ridiculous. So it’s become a small city center. Lavington is still largely residential although moved from single family housing to apartments.
