My current home is on a 150x70ft area. I still have to do farming to utilize the whole area. This thread is about a TOWN HOME which I thought 1/2 an acre may be too much for @stra given his budget

i have an 1/8th acre behind kamaki. free hold title for 2.5m o.n.o. nafmuma@yahoo.com

Why dont you just buy land in the remote areas especially if you dont wanna be surrounded by apartments. The prices I see for land here, why would I buy 1/8 for a couple of millions then apartments surrounding you?? Makes no sense at all. I bought 1 acre somewhere in Masaai land for 1/2 million, thats why I cant imagine buying 1/8 for way more than that!! Yeah there are no roads, electricity bla bla and I hope it stays that way. Im just hoping I wasnt conned though

what are the current prices for ngoingwa? being offered one for 2.5m

not buying it to put up a home though. this thread was the one i found with information on the area though not current. any idea on the current price in the area?

Aerial map on google or wikimapia can give you some information pertaining your needs.
If you do not want flats build around you here are some options in my views.
1. Buy plot in an area where people have already settled = more expensive but assured of the type of houses around.
2. Buy away from center/highways. The map can guide you or even visit. Land here can be cheaper but hard to settle immediately.
Now for your preferred location (40km from Nrb CBD)+ a budget of 1.5m = along Thika rd, Kangundo rd, mombasa rd, Namanga rd. or Ongata sides.

3. What about the mixture of 1 & 2 above.
This link is exactly that: http://wikimapia.org/#la...934292&z=19&m=b
This plot (1/8 acre) is on sale at 1.3m neg. About four or five maisonettes under construction, there is a school, a gated comm.. houses and... just see for ur self in the map. But note that this map was updated early 2013.
