The main artery through Kilimani, lined with mid-rise and high-rise apartments. Walking distance to Yaya Centre, Junction Mall and dozens of restaurants. Premium pricing but unbeatable convenience.
Wood Avenue
A quieter residential street with a mix of older and newer developments. Slightly lower prices than Argwings Kodhek, with easy access to both Kilimani and Hurlingham amenities.
Riara Road Corridor
The stretch between Junction Mall and Riara Road has seen the most new development in recent years — multiple towers offering modern finishes and competitive off-plan pricing.
Elgeyo Marakwet Road
