If i was faced by that choice, i would negotiate(with 800k) to buy 1/4 in Kitengela.... Exact location and how soon you would want to use the land matters anyway.... Actually, your decision should be guided by your intentions of the land... speculation, settling(and how soon you need to do that) etc.

Greenhouses do well that area. Do you have reliable supply of water? If you are connected to EPZ water, they are not too bad and the water table in some areas in kitengela is very high. Where exactly is that school? Is it already operational or is it a "proposed" site? You could even supply the school with your groceries before development(just a thought).

I have used the Eastern Bypass. Are there other developments around the plot? you dont want doing your house and then having all these flats surrounding you... for a home, you are better off with controlled areas if you value your privacy.

@ duky give me your details. When Can I come view the plot? How far is it from Thika road?

what sorrounds the plots? can you build flat and is it accessible from public transport from town?

You can't build flats except in designated commercial plots. those are the ones next to the rd.

Thanks Wendz but I think Ill settle with Ruiru. @ Duky Ill give you a shout. You available kesho we come view. Come with copy of title.

Ruiru - bypass - is virgin territory. No much development - for now! Once developments start, the prices will skyrocket!

In Ruiru? I thought those plots are freehold. You can do whatever you please with them. Correct me if I am wrong.

@Pondi Yes you can put a caution or caveat on any land registered by government i.e titled. You must however show relationship with registered owner i.e wife,husband,daughter,son or creditor. The charges are negligible not more than ksh.500.

If you want a slice of Kenya's Future ICT hub and if you want to live or farm with Nairobi in your sights. then, you can take the plot in kitengela.

yekeyeke, you seem to be familiar with Ruiru and Ruai. I had asked on a different thread about land at Mwalimu Shamba. Do you know the place? How much is land going for? Thanks
