Who buys here
- Aga Khan medical professionals
- Senior corporate professionals valuing walkability
- Yield-focused investors
- Diplomatic families (rental)
- Singles and couples without children
Risks
- Density is high; choose compounds with good amenity-to-unit ratios
- Service charge discipline varies
- Some 2010s-era compounds are ageing faster than expected
- Limited family-sized housing inventory
Walkability is undervalued in Nairobi’s pricing. Hurlingham is one of the few addresses where you can actually walk to dinner and the hospital both, and the rental market reflects that.
