Description
Some neighbourhoods are built around houses. Lakehills is built around the people who live in them.
Set in a quiet valley off Kiambu Road, overlooking the Paradise Lost lake and minutes from Runda, Ridgeways and Gigiri, Lakehills is a gated community of 114 four-bedroom villas across 14.48 acres of landscaped greenery. Each villa has its own private garden, open-plan living and terraces or balconies extending from most rooms. Beyond your gate sits a shared community park and a residents-only retreat with an infinity pool, gym and yoga lawn.
Prices start from KES 44 million, with payment over 24 months and completion scheduled for Q2 2028. For families who want space, greenery and a real sense of community without paying the prices of Nairobi’s most established suburbs, Lakehills is a development worth a close look.

A Development Designed for Family and Community Living
Lakehills is planned around calm, connection and belonging. The master plan places villas facing the community park, the lake or the landscaped internal boulevard, so outlooks vary from home to home. Each villa sits within its own garden, with open-plan living spaces oriented toward the greenery.
Shared life happens at two hubs. Lakehills Park, a 23,751 sq ft landscaped space, has playing fields, picnic lawns, reflection pools, cabanas, a kids play area and a pickleball court. Lakehills Retreat is a residents-only leisure hub built around an infinity pool, with a lounge, outdoor dining spaces, a gym, a yoga lawn and a kids play area.
The result is a neighbourhood where children can play outdoors, neighbours meet naturally, and the working week can be balanced with movement, quiet and time outside.

Location Advantage
Lakehills is located off Kiambu Road, in a quiet valley overlooking the Paradise Lost lake. It sits minutes from the diplomatic corridor of Runda, Ridgeways and Gigiri, which borders some of Nairobi’s most established suburbs, yet the setting is calm and green.
The developer highlights two points about the area:
- The northern corridor. The expansion of the UN complex has reinforced this part of Nairobi as a diplomatic hub, which the developer links to steady residential demand.
- Planned road improvements. An upgrade of Kiambu Road to a dual carriageway is described as planned, which would improve access to the area.
Please note that infrastructure plans and timelines can change. Ask for the latest information on the road upgrade, and drive the routes to schools, workplaces and the CBD at your usual travel times before deciding. A full list of nearby schools, hospitals and shopping is to be confirmed at point of enquiry.
Payment Plan
Lakehills offers payment over 24 months. Deposit requirements, instalment amounts and dates, and what is payable at completion (Q2 2028) are to be confirmed at point of enquiry.
Please request the latest payment schedule and price list, and have your advocate review the sale agreement before you commit.
Why It Works for Homeowners
- Space and privacy at a more accessible entry point. A four-bedroom villa with its own garden, from KES 44 million, in an area bordering well-known suburbs.
- A layout built for family life. Open-plan living keeps everyone connected, while the chef’s kitchen keeps the main living space uncluttered when you host.
- Outdoor living, every day. Private gardens, terraces, balconies, a community park and a lake outlook make the outdoors part of daily routine.
- Amenities that build community. Children have a park, a play area and a play pool. Adults have a gym, a yoga lawn, a pickleball court and a lounge.
- A quiet setting with city access. The valley feels removed from the noise, yet the neighbourhood is near Runda, Ridgeways and Gigiri.
- Time to plan. A Q2 2028 completion and a 24-month payment period give buyers room to organise their finances.
Why It Works for Investors
Lakehills is an off-plan development, so it suits investors with a medium- to long-term view.
- A scarce product type. The developer notes that well-planned, low-density villa communities in this neighbourhood are limited.
- Demand drivers nearby. The area’s proximity to the diplomatic corridor and international institutions is one reason for interest in the neighbourhood.
- Lower entry price than neighbouring suburbs. The developer positions Lakehills as offering a more accessible price point than the surrounding established areas.
- Phased payments. Payment over 24 months lets investors stage their capital.
- Community amenities. Shared facilities can support long-term desirability for both owner-occupiers and tenants.
Rental income, price appreciation and resale timing are not guaranteed. Off-plan purchases carry construction and timeline risk, and returns depend on completion, market conditions, fees and holding costs. We recommend requesting current comparable sales and rental data for the area, confirming the developer’s track record and completion safeguards, and taking independent financial and legal advice before purchasing.
