I FOUND AN APARTMENT IN NAIROBI! | MY APARTMENT TOUR

[@kayquan9072]

I was part of construction of this building, the structural engineer was a Ugandan, main contractor was wodia civil and structural works back in 2012/13... thank you

[@kayquan9072]

NB 90% of those tall buildings were built after 2010... the only existing building was the oval center

[@tinawilliams9067]

If you are happy then the price is right. You may find something cheaper but at what cost. Comparable to California it is a great deal. Secondly, it is about the quality of living and the standard of living you have set for yourself. It is what makes you content, safe, and gives you peace of mind.

True, and he seems very happy with the apartment. Loving where you stay gives you peace.

That is a good deal comparable to US. It is about the quality and overall standard of living. I measure an apartment by this one question, “will I want my mother to come and live with me in this apartment or home”. If you are happy then the price is right. You may find something cheaper but at what cost.

[@spicybeachgirl1]

Oh please that pool with that view alone is worth the price. Looks like the spot at the right price to me!!!!

[@wanjanjama]

I think that for all the points you mentioned, the apartment is very affordable. Westlands is a prime location to be in Nairobi, with everything literally like less than 15 mins away from you from office and co-working spaces to restaurants to shopping malls to nightlife and other entertainment. In the US you will pay that amount for less than 10% of everything you're getting so well done on securing such a dope place!

[@esem135]

That is a very good deal. It is fully furnished, you have full access to the gym and sauna, 2 bedrooms, in Westlands, it cannot come any cheaper unless it is not furnished.

[@LisaMona14_90]

Apartment is dope. You can move to Lavington and get a fully furnished btwn 800 to 1000 usd depending on the amenities. You can sign up for gym membership at the nearest mall should it not have one. It will give you the chance to meet new people everytime you go for your work out.

Given the amenities and location, the price really makes sense. Aaand it's furnished. The standard of living in Kenya economically is now equally comparable to Europe. I think it's a great place and the price is actually spot on.

[@thorfinn7291]

People like saying this but it's not true, you can get a spacious unfurnished apartment with all the amenities you need and then some in Nairobi for even $1000 a month while in Europe a similar apartment that is smaller with not even half the amenities may cost you as high as $3500+. You won't get an apartment like the one Julian is living in at that price anywhere in Europe all things considered. In most European cities, for a little under $1000 you get an apartment the size of the average bed sitter in Kenya. You should see the ones in Paris & London especially.

[@alexchui3511]

​@@thorfinn7291 spot on. She is exaggerating, no way the standard of living is comparable to that of Europe. I guess if money is no object, then its fine, but personally I'd find many options within Nairobi at half the price if not a fraction of it. And Westy is overhyped anyway. There are many great options all over Nairobi if one is willing to look around with an open mind.

Above Everything you are not being harassed by the horrors that a black man experiences in the US.

They ARE overcharging a little bit, but it's still pretty good for what you're getting as far as location, gym+pool. If you don't need all the amenities, 200k a month could get you a decent house, but then that's too much for just one person, plus maintenance+security+utilities.
