1 Bedroom. 49.5 sqm. KES 5.9 Million. Ruaka. 3.7 Acres of Landscaped Gardens & Fruit Tree Orchard. Co-Working Space with Free Wi-Fi, Indoor Gym, Residents Social Lounge, Children's Play Park. Backup Generator & Borehole. CCTV. 10% Deposit. 9% Projected Yield.
A 1-bedroom apartment in Ruaka at KES 5.9 million — 49.5 sqm with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, one bedroom, and a balcony. Part of a development set within 3.7 acres of landscaped gardens with a fruit tree orchard. Co-working space with free Wi-Fi, indoor gym, residents social lounge, children's play park, backup generator for common areas and select apartment outlets, backup borehole, and CCTV security. 10% deposit secures the unit. 5 minutes from Two Rivers Mall. Projected rental yield of 9%.
The 3.7 acres is the fact that changes the calculation. The buyer is not purchasing a 1-bedroom in a standard Ruaka apartment block where the building occupies the plot and the green space is the strip between the wall and the fence. The buyer is purchasing a 1-bedroom within an orchard — mango, avocado, and loquat trees, landscaped gardens, picnic areas, and the breathing room that 3.7 acres provides. In Ruaka, where density is the competitive norm, this is the exception. The tenant notices. The Airbnb guest notices. The valuer notices.
49.5 sqm — KES 5.9 million. The layout is efficient and contemporary: an open-plan kitchen flows into the living and dining area, the bedroom is a proper room with wardrobe space, and the balcony extends the apartment into the orchard views. The format targets the tenant who fills first — the young professional, the single occupant, the business traveller on a monthly let. The projected rent of KES 45,000 per month against a KES 5.9 million purchase delivers a 9% annual yield.
10% deposit — KES 590,000 — secures the apartment. The balance is structured: 20% at sale agreement, 60% over construction, 10% on completion. The buyer does not need KES 5.9 million on day one. The buyer needs KES 590,000 — and the construction period funds the rest. Projected capital appreciation of 23% over the construction period means the apartment is worth more at handover than at purchase.
Co-working space with free Wi-Fi. The 1-bedroom resident who works remotely does not convert the bedroom into an office or the dining table into a desk. The co-working space within the development provides the workspace, the connectivity, and the separation between home and work. The apartment stays a home. The co-working space handles the rest.
5 minutes to Two Rivers Mall. 15 minutes to Village Market. 18 minutes to the CBD. Ruaka's connectivity is the engine behind its rental demand — the Northern Bypass and Limuru Road connect the town to Nairobi's commercial centres. The tenant who rents in Ruaka commutes to Westlands, Gigiri, or the CBD in minutes and returns to 3.7 acres of gardens.
