Are you thinking about making an investment in the rapidly expanding real estate market in Nairobi? Knowing the cost of living is essential whether you're an experienced property owner, a retiree making plans to purchases houses for sale in Nairobi for future purposes, or an Kenyan living in the diaspora searching for the ideal city to call home. Important information about housing, utilities, healthcare, transportation, and lifestyle expenses in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nanyuki is included in our Cost of Living report (October 2024).

Key Highlights of the Report

  • Housing: Kisumu offers more reasonably priced options at KSh 7.5M, but Nairobi continues to be the most costly city, with a one-bedroom flat costing an average of KSh 13.1M

  • Monthly Costs: In Nairobi, a moderate lifestyle costs about KSh 160,000, whilst in Nanyuki, the same quality is KSh 120,000.

  • Food & Groceries: Mombasa has the cheapest grocery rates, and monthly expenses should be between KSh 25,000 and KSh 40,000.

  • Insurance and healthcare: Basic policies cost KSh 30,000 annually, while premium alternatives cost more than KSh 240,000.

The Significance of this for Real Estate Investors.

You can find desirable investment sites in Kenya’s dynamic real estate market by being aware of these cost variances. Given the high demand in Nairobi, the affordability in Mombasa houses for sale , the new chances in Kisumu’s real estate, and the increasing allure of Nanyuki gated communities , wise property ownership can pay off handsomely.
