Greenpark Estate, Athi River

Visited their stand at Homes Kenya and also the estate at Athi river and was very impressed by the development. With so much land towards that side of Nairobi, these are the kind of projects that developers should be focusing on. Not putting everyone in apartments in Kileleshwa. NB: These are real photos of the estate. http://www.superiorhomes.co.ke/greenpark/

I passed by that estate heading to Mombasa , and one thing that struck me is how its well constructed and the gardens landscaping..wacha tu..
Its actually in Machakos county, very ideal especially if you work around the area,daystar,machakos,mombasa road past.
I also noticed that actually majority of these houses are occupied

US System with no fences? Won't thieves have a field day? I've suffered a punctured tire courtesy of thieves, who appeared from the bush with crude weapons, in Machakos county near the highway. Wouldn't want to imagine the same characters lurking around near my unfortified house!

I've been to the estate its super and very well kept. The only problem is the river behind there, when it rains the water levels rise so high and that can be a problem. Otherwise, the designs of the houses and the price was not so bad. As for wizi...they have excellent security. Come to think about it. Why do Kenyans feel they have to seclude themselves the way they do. If we can live openly in a flat why not in a mansion. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

But security is extremely tight at the entrance. Ian has done a great investment there. Lord, thank you!

Wouldn't want to imagine the same characters lurking around near my unfortified house! Visit the "Old Section Nine" estate in Thika. Most houses there do not have gates and those that do, never close them. Theft is virtually unheard of. This has been the status for as long as I can remember...and my memory of the estate goes back to the mid-1970s. BTW: High fences and strong metal gates have never stopped thieves from entering a compound! I also don't understand why people believe they have to barricade themselves in what become death traps during a fire! Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

houses in the estates in Nairobi's east-lands have never had fences, they have copied the same design

I suppose resident cars have stickers but its possible hazina...when u drive all the way there u surely know where ur going to, plus the watchies know everyone "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

A friend of mine lives there and we occasionally visit. This estate is one of the well managed around Nairobi. It has very good ambiance and almost that fresh air feel – shaggs type (depends where yours is). They have a club and playing ground and have initiated a working know your neighbour and become friends’ kind of thing and therefore guys take care of each other. They also have periodic get together activities – was not so, not sure how this works. Thieves

That is how estates like Buruburu, Kileleshwa, lavington etc were meant to be......before extensions and apartments took over and degraded the once pristine environments.

In the late 70s' it is rumored that some toxic waste was dumped at a site not so far from there..herders avoided living in that area since , up until Daystar boldened up and set up somewhere nearby( amid some resistance) sasa leave alone that fresh air cases of leukemia may be on the rise a few years from now

On the other hand I am wondering about NEMA.Just as they do environmental impact assesment(sp) on projects,do they have the capacity to determine whether building sites are safe i.e as far as radiation is concerned??

I believe that NEMA must be having such information and would not have approved if the site was contaminated. @nyuthe should stop the malicious rumor mongering.

What i know is that that land was supposed to be a sewer/dumpsite thats why people were not rushing to buy the land from the ranchers who bought it from the wazungus. But the plans were shredded and there is nothing of that sort now, tho they laid a pipeline to take the sewer from Athiriver to Ruai. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.
