Northlands Heights Apartments, a key residential component of the Kenyatta family’s expansive Northlands City project, is steadily emerging as one of the most talked-about real estate developments on the outskirts of Nairobi.Situated in Ruiru, roughly 15 to 20 kilometers from the central business district along the busy Thika Super Highway, this project is part of an extensive 11,000-acre master plan valued at around KSh 500B.
Northlands Heights is envisioned as a modern urban community that combines comfort, convenience, and contemporary living.
This gated community is distinguished by its thoughtfully designed green spaces, which include well-maintained lawns, decorative shrubs, and tree-lined areas that foster a tranquil and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere for residents.
The development features 1,012 residential units, which range from cozy studio apartments to generous three-bedroom homes.
This range meets the needs of a diverse market, particularly targeting young professionals and small families in search of quality housing within a reasonable commuting distance to Nairobi.The pricing reflects its upscale positioning in the market, with studio units starting at approximately KSh 3.3M, one-bedroom apartments beginning around KSh 5.5M, while average prices for two-bedroom units are KSh 6.5M.
Three-bedroom options can go up to KSh 12.5M or more, based on financing terms.
Rental prices have also garnered interest, with studios reportedly starting at KSh 25K, per month, and larger units often exceeding KSh 85K.
Although the development promises future access to sports and recreational facilities within the broader Northlands City.
Some suggest that its current design might be more attractive to urban professionals than to larger families looking for more spacious living arrangements.
