check the plots here http://www.olx.co.ke/q/malaa/c-410
http://www.olx.co.ke/q/kangundo/c-410 Looks like an average of 350k per 1/8th will do. Kantafu is 45km from CBD. There is no way anyone can travel all this distance to and fro if they are to earn from Nairobi CBD. As Iron Sharpens Iron, So one Man Sharpens Another.

@A4Architect, On the idea of sharing... when 12 families share an 1/8... it points to apartments block. I like the idea. But the 12No community need to have a very uniform thought. Very difficult. I've tried to organize six people... its not easy now 12? 45Km is nothing... I know people who commute from Kenol (on your way to Sagana) approx 54Km. "..I am because we are. "― Ubuntu, Umtu,

Thanks for all those great people giving valuable advice. I like the encouragement and support. I like the idea of polling resources together but not for an eighth. That would be like a small majengo however good the studios would be. I am keen on Kamulu area given the availability of affordable land and potential for personal initiatives and economic productivity. I am not bothered with distance from Nairobi CBD.
Given various people's feedback, I am keen on pulling together with like minded people. If we can have 10-20 people each contributing 100k, I am sure we can stand a chance of negotiating a decent piece of land at a better price. I am not asking for anyone,s money. If several of us can agree to the idea, then we can all open a joint account with all safeguards for our money. We can work out clearly how to secure the money, identify the land and purchase together. Everything must be above board. I am not looking for a quick fix but similar thinking people. Don't part with your money till you are sure

Agree, 12 individuals are a bit of a hard nut to crack considering the size of the land. many people commute from joska to town everyday, I also do at times - the only hectic part is the matatu, you will mostly board the blue kangundo matatus which can be a headache at times - but with a car its better apart from the rainy days when navigating the clay soil in most parts those sides is impossible, but it does not rain often. if you can get apiece of land and build go for it, but I would strongly advice you save kiasi and get a car

You do not want to urge people who are not ready for cars buy now bro. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

You do not want to urge people who are not ready for cars buy now bro. if you live in joska car maintenance will be equal or cheaper than the transportation hassle - plus if you buy the entry level cars maintenance is can be very low. in some places if you value your time, a car actually saves you more money.

@ggk.Yes. The complete project will look like an apartment block.  To ensure uniformity of thought, that's where laws regulating LLC operations eg 51% majority decisions overriding minority, sectional ownership laws come in to play. Majority will make the decision to overide minority, just like the numerous apartments in Kile,Lavington etc which are well run through respect of LLC and sectional ownership laws by all/majority. 12 is the maximum number of bedsitters on a 1/8th plot.This is on the asumption that all 12 bedsitters will be owned by different people.Maybe each will own 2 hence only 6 owners to deal with. As Iron Sharpens Iron, So one Man Sharpens Another.

Sounds like a great idea. Just getting people organised might the the harder part... unless people are buying into an already thought out idea by a few with major issued already agreed upon, and then if they like it, they comply and are allowed minimum changes is any.... just like the "gated communities" we have around.
