Smallest entry price on the market
Studio Apartments for Sale in Nairobi
12 verified studios from KES 2.3M, across Wanyee Road, Syokimau, Kilimani and Westlands. A studio is the lowest-priced way into ownership here, which is why most of this stock is bought either as a first home or to let.
If a studio is too small
The next step up is a one bedroom, which adds a separate sleeping room for a modest jump in price. Buyers weighing yield rather than space tend to compare these against entry-level homes in Syokimau, where the same money buys considerably more floor area further out.
Most of these units sit in Kilimani and Westlands; both area pages carry the larger units in the same buildings. You can also see which development each one belongs to.
Studio apartments, answered
How much is a studio apartment in Nairobi?
Current stock runs from roughly KES 2.3 million in the metro corridor to just over KES 6 million in Kilimani and Westlands. Location drives almost all of that spread — the units themselves are similar in size.
Is a studio apartment a good investment in Nairobi?
Studios carry the lowest entry price of any unit type and rent readily to single professionals and students, which is why several of the Syokimau units are bought specifically to let. The trade-off is a narrower resale market than a one or two bedroom.
What is the difference between a studio and a bedsitter?
In Kenyan usage the terms overlap. Both are single-room units with a private bathroom; "studio" tends to describe newer, better-finished stock in developments, while "bedsitter" usually refers to older rental-grade housing.
