I am currently seeing 2 projects being marketed. 1. Runda Paradise 2. Kencom Sacco Homes Runda The homes are to be built on 1/8 acre plots. I thought minimum plot size in Runda is 1/2 acre. Are these projects really in Runda?

They should have put up the homes on 1/2 acre plots and created another runda...i.e a Runda B since they are on the edge of Runda estate. Runda Mumwe did well to adopt Runda standards though I understand original Runda guys refused to admit the new runda mumwe into the Runda Association (since they see them as middo class runda wannabes).

these estates are on the boundary of runda which is controlled by ncc laws. These are in kiambu part of runda controlled by kiambu county laws which alow for 1/8th acre plots. There are talks in progress to connect runda and paradise lost once these estates are complete.

I have never understand why pple want to associate with what they are not. A house built on an 1/8th of an acre cannot be equated with one on 1/2. Soon there will be estates with names like Runda Winds denoting those along the path from where the wind from Runda blows.

@gathige..its human nature. Every person likes to associate with what they consider of higher value compared to the rest. Business people, including developers will use this and use it to favour them with the Runda winds, Runda xyz etc names coz this sells. There is a high cost housing project in Naivasha with a very funny name. If it doesnt succeed, it will be coz of the name. Kihingo Village, with a funny name, was a successful high cost housing project though.

I thought border ya kiambu na nairobi is along that road to paradise lost, with the estate being on the nairobi side. the wazees who own the land around the paradise lost area have refused to sell so far, unless the kids do after they pass itakuwa ngumu opening up that area - but at least it would connect the edenville guys to runda also
