Description
Some homes are about square footage. Others are about how it feels to close the gate behind you.
73 Chalbi Drive Villas is a gated community of just seven bespoke townhouses on a private one-acre estate in Lavington, one of Nairobi’s most established residential neighbourhoods. Each residence is arranged over three levels, with five all-ensuite bedrooms, generous entertaining space, a private garden, and a rooftop terrace for evenings above the treeline.
With prices starting from approximately KES 85 million (about USD 750,000), the development is aimed at buyers who value privacy, space, and a quieter pace of living, without giving up Lavington’s convenience.

A Development Designed for Private, Family-Centred Living
With only seven homes on a full acre, 73 Chalbi Drive Villas offers something increasingly rare in Nairobi’s established suburbs: room to breathe. The estate is gated and hedged, with an electric-fenced perimeter wall, and the grounds include a mature garden and quiet outdoor spaces.
The layout supports the way larger households actually live. Guests, children, a home office, entertaining, and family downtime each have a place across the three levels, so the home works as comfortably on an ordinary Tuesday as it does for a long weekend of hosting.

The estate offers one residence type: a five-bedroom, three-level townhouse, ranging from 5,920 to 6,674 sq ft.

Location Advantage
Lavington is a long-established residential suburb on Nairobi’s western side, valued for its leafy streets, low-rise character, and strong demand for family homes. Buyers here tend to prioritise privacy, space, and a settled neighbourhood over density.
73 Chalbi Drive Villas sits within this setting. For many households, that means calmer evenings and easy access to the city’s schools, shopping, dining, and workplaces. We recommend visiting at different times of day, including peak traffic, to judge the commute for yourself.
Why It Works for Homeowners
- Space for a full household: five ensuite bedrooms, a family room, an office or gym space, and a 10-seater dining room.
- Privacy: only seven homes within a gated, hedged, electric-fenced estate.
- Entertaining spaces: rooftop deck, BBQ area, patio, and garden.
- Everyday practicality: a secondary kitchen or utility area, a guest cloakroom, and a detached DSQ.
- Resilience: backup power, solar water heating, and water storage per unit.
- Considered layout: the master retreat sits on its own top floor with a lounge, walk-in closet, and terrace access.
Why It Works for Investors
- Scarcity and positioning: seven homes in an established suburb, in a segment where supply is limited.
- Target tenant profile: executive, diplomatic, and corporate households often look for large, secure, well-specified homes in Lavington.
- Quality of build and specification: features such as smart-home systems and backup utilities can matter to tenants and future buyers alike.
We do not make claims about rental yields, occupancy, or capital appreciation. At this price point, rental demand is narrower and income varies significantly. We recommend investors review comparable rental evidence, consider the exit market, and take independent financial and legal advice.

- Built-in closets in all bedrooms

Who This Development Suits Best
- Families who want a gated home with a garden and room for children, relatives, and guests
- Multigenerational households that benefit from a ground-floor ensuite bedroom and separate staff quarters
- Professionals who work from home and need a dedicated office
- Entertainers who will use the dining room, patio, and rooftop terrace
