1, 2, & 3 Bedroom Apartments For Sale in Kilimani at IVY PARK RESIDENCES

Ivy Park Residences: The Kilimani Building Designed Around a Courtyard, Not a Corridor

Most apartment buildings in Kilimani are designed from the outside in. The architect draws the façade, fits the units behind it, and whatever space is left over becomes the “common area.” Ivy Park reverses that logic. The design starts with a central landscaped courtyard, water features, quiet seating, mature planting, and builds the residences around it. Every apartment faces inward toward greenery and light rather than outward toward the next building’s wall.

This is not a cosmetic distinction. It changes the air. It changes the light. It changes the sound. And it changes the daily experience of living in Kilimani from “urban apartment” to something that genuinely feels like a retreat within the city.

Ivy Park Residences sits on Kirichwa Road, one of Kilimani’s most established residential streets. Offering 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments (including DSQ configurations) from KES 6.82M cash / KES 7.32M on instalments.

Completion is October 2028, with two payment plan options that make off-plan ownership accessible to both cash-ready buyers and those who prefer to pay progressively across the construction period.

Kirichwa Road, Kilimani: The Street That Holds Its Value

Kirichwa Road runs through the residential heart of Kilimani — set back from the commercial intensity of Argwings Kodhek and Ngong Road, but close enough to benefit from everything those arteries provide.

It’s a street that has maintained its residential character even as Kilimani has densified around it, and that character is precisely what protects property values here.

Yaya Centre, Kilimani’s retail and lifestyle anchor, is within immediate reach. The concentration of restaurants, cafés, and bars along Wood Avenue and the broader Kilimani dining scene is walkable.

The diplomatic zone along Dennis Pritt Road (embassies, international organisations, and the premium tenant pool they create) is a short drive.

Westlands, Lavington, the CBD, and Upper Hill are all accessible without complex routing, Kirichwa Road connects to the arterials that move through Nairobi’s core without sitting on them.

For families, the school catchment is strong: Kilimani’s location puts Braeburn, Riara, St. Austin’s, and several international school options within the daily commute radius.

For investors, Kilimani remains Nairobi’s deepest rental market,the neighbourhood attracts young professionals, couples, NGO workers, expatriates, corporate tenants, and Airbnb guests in roughly equal measure. That breadth of demand is the single most important characteristic of a good rental investment: you’re never dependent on one tenant type.

Kirichwa Road specifically adds a residential premium to the Kilimani average. It’s quieter, greener, and more established than the higher-density streets closer to Ngong Road, which means tenants stay longer, pay slightly more, and treat the property better.

For a development like Ivy Park, which is designed around calm and greenery, the street is not just a location, it’s a reinforcement of the entire concept.

The Apartments: Four Configurations from KES 6.82M

Ivy Park offers four unit types across three bedroom categories, with both cash and instalment pricing clearly defined.

Unit Type	Size Range	Cash Price (KES)	Instalment Price (KES)
1 Bedroom	62–76 sqm	From 6,820,000	From 7,320,000
2 Bedroom	98–115 sqm	From 10,780,000	From 11,280,000
2 Bedroom + DSQ	108–128 sqm	From 11,880,000	From 12,380,000
3 Bedroom + DSQ	142 sqm	From 15,620,000	From 16,120,000

The KES 500,000 differential between cash and instalment pricing is transparent and straightforward — buyers who can settle within 30 days save half a million shillings; those who prefer the construction-linked instalment plan pay a modest premium for the flexibility. Both routes lead to the same apartment.

1-Bedroom (62–76 sqm) — From KES 6.82M Cash

The 1-bedroom range at Ivy Park spans 62 to 76 sqm — a significant spread that gives buyers genuine choice within the category. The entry-level 62 sqm unit is a well-proportioned apartment with open-plan living, a defined bedroom, and the courtyard orientation that makes even a compact space feel open. At 76 sqm, the larger 1-bedrooms approach the footprint of many Nairobi 2-bedrooms — offering the kind of generous single-occupancy living that commands premium rents from professionals who don’t need a second bedroom but refuse to live small.

For investors targeting the Kilimani Airbnb market, the 1-bedrooms are the sweet spot. Kilimani is one of Nairobi’s highest-demand short-stay neighbourhoods — walkable, central, safe, and packed with the restaurants and cafés that business travellers and tourists seek. The courtyard, rooftop cinema, and ground-floor cafés give Ivy Park listings the kind of visual and experiential content that drives bookings on Airbnb and Booking.com.

2-Bedroom (98–115 sqm) — From KES 10.78M Cash

At 98–115 sqm, the standard 2-bedrooms deliver the proportions that make Kilimani apartment living comfortable for couples and small families. Living and dining areas are properly scaled for daily use and occasional hosting. Bedrooms are sized for adult furniture. The kitchen works for actual cooking, not just reheating.

2-Bedroom + DSQ (108–128 sqm) — From KES 11.88M Cash

The DSQ addition transforms the 2-bedroom from a couple’s apartment into a flexible family home. The detached staff quarter accommodates live-in help, serves as a home office, functions as a guest suite, or provides the storage and utility space that families with young children inevitably need. At 108–128 sqm, these units compete on size with many Kilimani 3-bedrooms — at a meaningfully lower price point.

3-Bedroom + DSQ (142 sqm) — From KES 15.62M Cash

The flagship unit. At 142 sqm plus DSQ, this is a full family home in a courtyard-oriented building with a two-level rooftop, ground-floor cafés, and the complete wellness and lifestyle amenity package. Three bedrooms, living and dining scaled for a family of five, and the DSQ that makes Kenyan family living work. In the long-term Kilimani rental market, quality 3-bedrooms with DSQ in modern buildings attract the tenants every landlord wants: families who stay for years, professionals on corporate housing packages, and diplomatic staff whose organisations pay the asking rent without negotiation.

The Courtyard, the Rooftop, and Everything Between

Ivy Park’s amenity package is organised around three spatial ideas — the courtyard at the centre, the rooftop at the top, and the ground level at the base — creating a building that functions as a vertical neighbourhood rather than a stack of apartments connected by a lift shaft.

The Central Courtyard. This is the defining design move. A fully landscaped interior courtyard with water elements, seating areas, and mature planting that creates a microclimate of calm at the heart of the building. Apartments face this courtyard, drawing natural light, cross-ventilation, and visual green from the centre of the development rather than from the street. The psychological impact is immediate: you step outside your front door and your first view is a garden, not a parking lot. For residents, it’s a daily amenity. For tenants evaluating whether to sign a lease, it’s the moment they decide yes.

The Two-Level Rooftop. Ivy Park doesn’t give you one rooftop — it gives you two, stacked vertically and designed for different moods.

The lower rooftop is the social floor: a residents’ lounge, an indoor bar, a ping-pong zone, and a rooftop garden. This is where weekday evenings and casual weekend gatherings happen — relaxed, accessible, and designed for the kind of spontaneous socialising that builds community.

The upper rooftop is the experience floor: an open-air rooftop cinema, a BBQ terrace, and an open lounge with panoramic viewing decks. Movie nights under the Nairobi sky. Saturday barbecues with friends. Sunday mornings with coffee and a view. This is the space that Ivy Park residents will talk about — and the space that short-stay guests will photograph and review.

Ground-Floor Cafés, Shops & Convenience. Integrated retail at the base of the building — coffee, dining, and daily essentials within the compound. This eliminates the “just need to run to the shops” errand that Kilimani residents currently make multiple times a week. For residents who work from home, the café doubles as an informal co-working space. For investors, ground-floor retail activates the building’s street presence and signals a development that’s alive, not dormant.

Wellness: Gym, Yoga Room, Spa & Pool. A fully equipped gym with tall windows and natural light — designed to be a space you want to train in, not a basement box you tolerate. A dedicated yoga room for morning practice, evening stretching, and the kind of quiet movement that a gym floor can’t accommodate. A residents’ spa for the recovery and relaxation that rounds out a serious wellness routine. A beautifully designed swimming pool — the courtyard’s aquatic counterpart.

Children’s Play Zones. Indoor and outdoor play areas for younger residents — safe, purpose-built, and designed to give families confidence that children can play freely within the building. A practical amenity that directly supports the family-tenant retention that drives long-term yield.

Security & Infrastructure. 24/7 manned security with comprehensive CCTV. Full backup generator. Borehole water supply. High-speed lifts. Broadband internet-ready infrastructure throughout. Ample secure parking for residents and guests. The operational backbone that ensures the building delivers on its promises long after the brochure has been put down.

Payment Plans: Two Clear Options

Ivy Park offers a cash plan and a construction-linked instalment plan. Both are straightforward.

Option A — Cash Plan (Maximum Discount)

• 20% deposit within 7 days of booking
• 80% balance cleared within 30 days
• Benefit: lowest price per unit (KES 500K saving versus instalment plan)

Option B — Construction-Linked Instalments

• 20% deposit within 7 days
• 10% at Month 3
• 20% at Month 6
• 10% at Month 8
• 10% at Month 12
• 30% final payment at handover (October 2028)

The instalment plan is structured around construction milestones, spreading payments across 30+ months. For buyers who prefer to preserve cash flow or who are funding the purchase from salary or business income, this structure makes ownership achievable without a single large capital outlay.

The Investment Numbers

Kilimani 1-bedrooms in quality developments with strong amenities rent for KES 50,000–80,000/month. Two-bedrooms with DSQ command KES 90,000–140,000/month. Three-bedrooms with DSQ in modern buildings achieve KES 130,000–180,000/month. Furnished and short-stay rates push the upper ranges significantly higher.

Off-plan buyers entering at cash pricing secure the deepest discount. By October 2028 completion, Kilimani market rates for comparable finished apartments will be substantially higher — locking in today’s off-plan pricing and holding through construction is the capital appreciation play that has consistently rewarded early buyers in this neighbourhood.
