Furnished Apartment Questions, Answered
How much do furnished apartments cost in Nairobi per month?
Furnished apartments in Nairobi typically rent for KES 80,000–150,000 per month for a 1-bedroom and KES 120,000–250,000 for a 2-bedroom in prime areas like Westlands, Kilimani and Riverside — roughly 25–40% above unfurnished equivalents, with utilities and housekeeping often bundled.
Do you offer monthly rates or only nightly stays?

What is included in a serviced apartment?
A typical VillaWatch serviced unit includes full furnishing, kitchen equipment, Wi-Fi, DSTV, utilities, housekeeping, 24-hour security and backup power. Premium buildings add gyms, pools and concierge service.
Can I buy a furnished apartment as an investment?
Yes — furnished and serviced units are among Nairobi’s highest-yielding assets, earning 18–25% more than long-let equivalents in strong locations. We sell investment-ready furnished units and can manage the bookings and guests for you after purchase.
Which Nairobi areas are best for furnished apartments?
Westlands leads for corporate tenants and proximity to offices and embassies, Kilimani for lifestyle and short stays, Riverside for diplomatic-grade quiet, and Kileleshwa for families on medium stays. Your choice depends on commute, budget and length of stay.
