A number of people are opting to live outside Nairobi City which has seen the rise of gated communities and a huge surge in apartment buildings to cater to the needs of these new home owners choosing to live in quiet serene neighbourhoods away from the busy city.

Factors to consider when looking to rent or buy a home are numerous, but the neighbourhood is most important.
Safer neighbourhoods with low or no crime rates, no traffic and noise pollution are attractive to a homeowner. After the neighbourhood is a spacious home with high-quality finishes.
While some would prefer stand-alone residences featuring a compound, there is a growing number that prefer gated communities for security reasons.
Lifestyle Heights in Tatu City is one of the most well-secured gated communities to live in in Nairobi.
In Nairobi over the last few years, there has been increased construction of residential and commercial properties in areas previously referred to as ‘best residential hubs’.
As a result, zones that were previously synonymous with ‘leafy’ suburbs such as Kilimani, Lavington, Ngong Road, and Muthaiga, are now crowded, prompting some to invest in second homes. One of the areas such investors have been eyeing is Tatu City in Ruiru, Kiambu.
