What you need to know:

  • Among the most expensive satellite towns in terms of rent are Ngong, Ruaka and Rongai.
  • Cytonn says that, with most Nairobi residents unable to afford mortgages for areas they would want to live in, the next best option is renting.

You need an income of more than Sh1 million to rent a house in the Rosslyn or Nyari suburbs of Nairobi County.

Real estate and investment firm Cytonn has classified the two areas as the priciest, edging out Muthaiga and Runda, which have long been associated with old money and the most powerful figures in government and business.
