The Oxford Homes, Riverside

Project Snapshot

A Development Designed for Connected Urban Living

The Oxford Homes is built for people who want to be in the middle of things. Its Chiromo/Riverside position places you a minute’s walk from the University of Nairobi’s Chiromo Campus, minutes from GTC, Sarit Centre and Westlands, and within easy reach of the CBD — in a quiet, leafy and secure neighbourhood long favoured by embassies, international organisations and professionals.

The apartments are designed for modern lifestyles, with floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and practical layouts. A one-bedroom-plus-study option gives the hybrid workforce a dedicated space to work from home, while the two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-DSQ homes offer room for families. Throughout, a full set of amenities — from a pool and gym to a rooftop terrace, gardens and on-site café — supports an easy, community-minded way of living.

Unit Types

The Oxford Homes offers a range of one and two-bedroom apartments. Prices are quoted in Kenya Shillings, with approximate USD equivalents for diaspora and foreign buyers; current availability and pricing are confirmed at point of enquiry.

USD equivalents are approximate, at around KES 129.8 to the dollar (October 2026).

• 1 Bedroom (70 sqm) — a bright, functional layout, ideal for singles and professionals.
• 1 Bedroom + Study (90 sqm) — a flexible study space for working from home or multi-purpose use.
• 2 Bedroom (110 sqm) — a spacious layout with good natural light and ventilation.
• 2 Bedroom (120 sqm) — generously sized, well suited to families.
• 2 Bedroom + DSQ (120 sqm) — a master bedroom with ensuite, plus a connected domestic staff quarter.

The exact bathroom configuration of each unit is confirmed against the latest floor plans at point of enquiry.

Location Advantage

The Oxford Homes is in the Chiromo area, along Riverside Drive, in the Westlands corridor — a leafy, central and secure part of Nairobi.

• A 1-minute walk to the University of Nairobi, Chiromo Campus
• About 5 minutes to GTC (Global Trade Centre)
• About 5–7 minutes to Sarit Centre and Westgate Mall
• International schools within about 10 minutes
• Aga Khan and Nairobi Hospitals within about 10 minutes
• The CBD in about 15 minutes via the Expressway; JKIA in roughly 25 minutes in good traffic

It’s a location that combines a quiet, established setting with genuine centrality — close to universities, offices, shopping, schools and healthcare, in a neighbourhood popular with embassies, global corporates and professionals.

Payment Plan

The Oxford Homes is offered on a flexible payment plan over the construction period, to completion in Q4 2028. As this is an off-plan development, payments are made as construction progresses. The deposit, exact milestones and any mortgage options are confirmed at point of enquiry — we’d encourage you to request the latest price list and payment schedule so you’re working from accurate, current figures, and our team can walk you through the options before you commit.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For homeowners, The Oxford Homes offers a modern, well-located home in one of Nairobi’s most central and established corridors. The location is a genuine draw: a short walk from Chiromo Campus, minutes from Westlands and its shopping and offices, and close to good schools and hospitals, all in a quiet, leafy and secure setting. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and considered layouts make for bright, comfortable homes, and the one-bedroom-plus-study is a practical answer for anyone working from home.

With a range from one-bedrooms to two-bedroom-plus-DSQ residences, and a full set of amenities — pool, gym, rooftop terrace, gardens and an on-site café — there’s a fit for singles, couples and families alike. And as an off-plan purchase, it’s an opportunity to secure a home in a prime spot and pay over the construction period.

Why It Works for Investors

For investors, The Oxford Homes offers a well-located home in a central, established part of Nairobi, close to the University of Nairobi’s Chiromo Campus, Westlands and the embassy belt — an area with genuine, ongoing residential demand. The range of unit types and the off-plan payment plan give flexibility on entry.

In keeping with how we work at Block, we don’t publish rental yield, return, occupancy or appreciation projections — figures like these depend on factors no listing can promise. Much of the marketing around this development quotes specific returns, rental-income figures and capital-growth percentages; those are not our figures, and no return can be guaranteed. With an off-plan purchase in particular, we’d encourage careful due diligence: confirm the construction timeline and completion terms, review the payment schedule and title, verify current pricing and availability, and assess the numbers independently. We’re glad to provide the documentation to support that, and to talk it through honestly.
