Ngong is a fast growing satellite town located 30 kilometers from Nairobi situated in Kajiado county. Unlike other towns, Ngong carries a significant historical past as it functioned as a settlement for the British colonialist. Over the decades, the area has grown from a Maasai pastoral region to one of Kenya’s booming towns. Presently, Ngong is most famous for the Ngong Hills which are an attraction and...

Joska was a town that was less known up until about 10 years ago. Like many satellite towns in Kenya, the high land prices and high cost of living in Nairobi pushed people to such areas.  With land being cheap in Joska, many land buying companies moved in to capitalize on the growth of the town. Joska is located about 35 kilometers from Nairobi CBD and lies on the border of Nairobi and Machakos on...

Land is one asset that I would jokingly describe as the ‘Kenyan Dream.’ Regardless of the bad publicity investing in land has gotten over the years, most Kenyans still hold it in high regard. Land rivals the various forms of paper wealth which are pushed to us as being better alternatives. With this in mind, the price of land has been growing day-in day-out and prime areas around towns are no longer...

Consider this: without land, you cannot build, and if you cannot build, you cannot sell or rent out your property.
