Studio Apartments for Sale or Rent in Lower Kabete, Nairobi

A first home, a city base or a small first investment does not need to start with a large commitment. It needs to be well located, clearly priced and honestly explained. These open-plan studio apartments on Lower Kabete Road come in two grades, standard and superior, with published prices from KES 1.87M. They are off-plan and scheduled for completion in June 2027, so the purchase is spread across the construction period rather than paid in one lump sum. They suit first-time buyers, young professionals, diaspora buyers and investors who want a manageable home within reach of Westlands.
