These days I am scared to post news stories like these because I know Sparkly will be VERY UNHAPPY about them  Quote: Musician buys daughter Toyota Prado TX for passing KCPE [Video] Denis Mwangi March 30, 2022 2:36 PM https://www.pulselive.co...or-passing-kcpe/n3ejz35
 Sherly the daughter of Luo singer Dola Kabarry is the newest owner of a Toyota Landcruiser Prado TX. Sherly Mikal the daughter of Luo Benga music singer Dola Kabarry is the proud owner of a Toyota Landcruiser Prado TX. Recommended articles Sheryl was gifted the Toyota Prado by her parents in fulfillment of a promise that they would buy her a big machine if she performed well in the recently released KCPE exam results. Luckily for the candidate, she managed to score 413 marks, well above her 400 marks target. According to the deal, the Luo musician was supposed to buy his daughter a car, and his wife Connie Kabarry would gift her a new smartphone. Connie subsequently posted videos of the family enjoying the new ride in Mombasa where they have been on vacation. “Daddy nikipata 400 and above utanibuyia gari kubwa na Mami anibuyie simu ya Samsung. Here we are baby here we are...congratulations my baby,” she captioned the video. The proud mother also shared another video of the family buying Sheryl a new Samsung phone worth Sh149,000. The shop owner also gifted the young student with Galaxy Buds worth Sh16,000. “Bora Form Four unipromise ni A,” she was heard telling her daughter in the video. The top student is hoping to get a spot at the prestigious Kenya High School. “Yes we promised her a big car and a Samsung phone of her choice if she gets 400 marks and above, she got 413 marks at Kitengela International School. We had to keep our promises just like she did. “Parents let's learn to keep our promises, promise what you can afford otherwise utafinywaa Thanks so much Samsung for gifting our daughter Sheryl with Ear pods worth Ksh 16000, we are happy,” the proud mother concluded. Kitengela International School produced the 5th best student Muteti Shantel Ndinda who scored 426 marks. Prado for a primo kid. Does that look NORMAL to you? Only in New Runda When I told you net worth per capita in Kitengela is higher than Nai core due to the super high home ownership rate, you did not listen, shauri yenu tu

Kitengela to get BRT Linehttps://www.the-star.co....p-curb-emissions--nema/
Quote:BRT Line 1 runs from Limuru-Kangemi-CBD-Imara Daima-Athi River and Kitengela.
Line 2 runs from Rongai-Bomas-Langata Road-CBD-Ruiru-Thika and Kenol.
Line 3, called Chui, runs from Tala-Njiru-Dandora (Juja Road)-CBD-Show Ground (Ngong Road) and Ngong.
Line 4, which is called Kifaru, is composed of East and West.
The East one runs from Mama Lucy Hospital-Donholm (Jogoo Road)-CBD. Meaning Kitengela 1. Will be the biggest beneficiary of KITENGELA EXPRESSWAY , being the best developed satellite town on MSA rd East of JKIA 2. Is already served by the Kitengela Commuter Train with two stops (Deliverance Rd and Lukenya) 3. Will now be served by BRT 4. Is the closest of the satellite towns that matter (other than Utawala and Syoki) to JKIA Best of all worlds

One does not need to have brains the size of Einstein's to read the writing on the wall. In fact these articles literally write themselves - More space for less - New economic hubs rapidly developing that makes nonsense of the commute argument as increasingly more people live and work/run businesses in these new economic hubs - Prices still higher for properties in Nai core, but not for long https://www.businessdail...ntre-apartments-3771252
Quote:Renters pay double for city centre apartmentsRenting apartments in Nairobi’s central business district (CBD) can be up to 126 percent more expensive than leasing properties in the capital’s periphery, according to market and consumer data firm Statista. The monthly rent for a one-bedroom house in the CBD is about $432.33 (Sh49,761) compared to $191.32 (Sh22,020) in the suburbs. A three-bedroom apartment in the CBD costs an average of $990.75 (Sh114,035) a month while leasing a similar property on the outskirts of the city costs $476.21 (Sh54,811). “In Nairobi, Kenya, renting a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre cost almost as much as a three-bedroom apartment outside the city centre in 2022,” said Statista. The data shows the high returns enjoyed by landlords owning properties in the core areas of the city. The returns are particularly high for those who built or acquired the houses more than a decade ago when building costs and buying prices were relatively lower. Location is the primary determining factor of housing prices in the capital cities with the prime properties in or close to the CBD consistently outperforming those farther from the business district. Rental houses close to the CBD in Upper Hill, Muthaiga, Ngara and Westlands cost more than those in the suburbs like Syokimau, Kitengela and Athi River. Those living within the limits of a big city pay a premium for proximity to jobs and diverse social and economic facilities, including hospitals and restaurants. The rents also reflect the relatively higher cost landlords of CBD properties face in buying and maintaining the units.Those living in the suburbs enjoy cheaper houses at the cost of greater commuting distance, long hours in traffic, expensive fares on public transport vehicles to and from work and more fuel consumption for car owners. Nairobi developed into a CBD where most formal sector jobs and economic activities are concentrated. The expansion of the suburbs has, however, reduced reliance on the CBD by creating local economic communities with their supermarkets, banks and entertainment joints.Properties in the core of the capital nonetheless continue to command a premium. emwenda@ke.nationmedia.com

Good to see dustbowl starting to get funk. I think the second generation living there is creating a local culture. Takes time though.
Nairobi core has an ecosystem that is very hard to replicate in DC. Explains why renters are willing to pay a premium for it.

Nairobi core has an ecosystem that is very hard to replicate in DC. Explains why renters are willing to pay a premium for it. Indeed it takes time But we're not trying to be like Nai Core. As a former staunch NaiCorian (born and bred), I have seen the transformation in Kitengela over the past decade, which has its own flavour, tastes and direction compared to Nai core. Like the California gold rush that produced West Coast cities with their own flavour as compared to the existing East Coast establishment that had been there for the longest, Kitengela is coming into its own and on its own terms. I don't think NaiCorian renters are willingly paying that premium. I think they literally have no choice, if they do not own homes in the satellites/suburbia As always, the facts (below) never lie on where the future is, na sio MM mwenye anaandika hizi articles https://www.kenyans.co.k...nting-buying-apartments

My 2 cents wrote:Where in the report does it say they are moving to Kitengela??????? Quote:Tenants are moving away from the rich suburbs like Runda, Kitisuru, Kileleshwa, and Kilimani which now have rising apartments Satellite areas have witnessed major growth in the sale of lands and houses as many people move away from the city. You also have to note that prices of land in satellite towns neighbouring Nairobi rose by 2.48% between July to September 2021. Also note that tenants are moving away from the rich suburbs like Runda, Kitisuru, Kileleshwa, and Kilimani which now have rising apartments.
What attracts tenants to areas in Nairobi with a high return in real estate investment is majorly infrastructure, land and house prices.As always Fanaka Real Estate, the top-ranking commercial and real estate firm that deals in the sale of land are here to inform you of these areas. Fanaka has its offices in Ruiru and Kamakis. Ruiru and Kamakis Here you can enjoy the Thika Superhighway and other bypasses which has opened these areas to investors. House prices are also affordable. In Ruiru and Kamakis areas, one can get houses between Sh4 million to Sh15 million onwards. These are three-bedroom bungalows and four-bedroom maisonettes. For Fanaka, we majorly deal with land and it's true that prices have also increased in these two areas. This means that these satellite areas continue to attract investors and developers In Nairobi’s satellite towns, house sale price gains have been more modest as most people settling in those areas prefer to build their own units.
The house sale market was largely driven by a high demand for detached units, whose supply in the market has fallen in the past years.
The new developments are high-density units including studio apartments which is a total shift from the ample apartments and detached houses that were famous in the suburb decades ago.Ruiru and Kamakis have also continued recording a rise in land prices, recording a 6.65% growth compared to a drop of 1.1% in 2020. Oasis Garden/Juja Farm This area is ideal for building a residential home. Discounted cash prices start from Sh899,000 Other areas include Athi River, Juja Springs Garden, Kiambu, Kitengela, Limuru, Mlolongo, Ongata Rongai, Ngong, Ruaka, Ruiru, Syokimau, Thika, Kiserian, and Tigoni. https://www.pulselive.co...ru-kamakis-juja/6w2ptyh
