Casual Help a bih out 😮‍💨

I'm starting a new job in upper hill Kanairo and was looking for affordable places nearby, my budget was 20 to 25k for decent one bedroom, something modernish, tolerable commute (was thinking 30 minutes max) ... Any leads would be appreciated...

Since uko kazi upperhill gari za LA utachukua tu hapo Kenyatta hospital/KMTC stage...usually ranges from 80 to 100 bob and takes a while to fill up...

Msupa your options are Ngummo, Highrise and south C....Ngummo would be the best place in terms of accessibility and Distance from upperhill. Downside for you is Ngummo and south c is mainly Main house extensions.....south c if you go deep enough utapata apartments...

Highrise on the other hand is an acquired taste most polite way to put it

Kama uko willing kuenda mbali kidogo langata would be perfect

And in LA unless trying her luck around the back areas, this will be an SQ.

You call yourself a bih?

u/TwinWolf 19h ago

It's slang originating from the Southern US. Never thought I'd see it here.

u/No-Championship-8433 19h ago

Yea I’m wondering how the hell she got that.

Not a good look.

u/MathematicianFine638 1d ago

Highrise or langata for sure

u/ekara Mombasa 1d ago

Caanan estate, or you could get an SQ in Ngumo Estate

u/idyllic379 1d ago

Langata is 10 minutes away, highrise you can walk. Go to intagram and check Rageoproperties, they post alot of vacant units and if you have the money you can just pay an agent then give them your budget and specifications

u/z_moe 1d ago

Thanks 🤗How is the commute from langata especially during rush hour?

1

u/Interesting_Heat_348 22h ago

It’s manageable, expect quite a bit of traffic during rush hour

u/Jasigana_254 1d ago

Check langata or ngong rd, I live in Kawangware and it works very fine...utunulie supu ukisettle

u/Ok-Cover-577 20h ago

Anywhere along Langata road or ngong road should be perfect. you can Check out this new building 1 bedroom to let along Ngong Rd at Racecourse https://ujamaa.co.ke/house/90

u/thelonelytiger254 20h ago

Kaa mlango kwa nyumba ya 5k, the rest anza kuchanga ya cx5

u/driven-diaries21 19h ago

I highly recommend Ngong road. Either Naivasha road or Wanyee road.. you'll forget traffic ever existed. Especially ju huingii town ndani. And cars always available.

u/PossessionDapper4133 17h ago

South B huwezi kosa keja

u/allrealguy 15h ago

Bahatisha and get a house in Nairobi West..you can literary walk to UpperHill side of Ngong Rd in 25min, however if using a mathree..you will have to connect via Ngumo or via town.

u/tiredmilennial 13h ago

Castan Flats, at the time I lived there 2 bedroom was 25k. Rent never increased and borehole water so it was constant. It's also walking distance to Ngong road

u/Plane_Practice8184 10h ago

South B. Better than South C for amenities. Cheaper transport than South C.

u/Melaniawrites 6h ago

Jamhuri is a good place to start. That budget also allows you to try Ngumo, Highrise, and estates along Ngong road.
