Not every good rental in Nairobi needs a city-centre price tag or a long commute trade-off. Alba Apartments offers something many tenants are looking for and rarely find in one place: a modern, secure, well-managed home at an accessible monthly rent, in a quiet residential pocket of Riruta with genuinely easy access to the city.

Set on Wanyee Road, just off Naivasha Road in Dagoretti, Alba is a newly built apartment block with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units available to rent. It’s a practical, comfortable choice for young professionals, couples, and small families who want a contemporary home with proper security and amenities, without overstretching.

Below is everything we currently know about the development. Where a detail is still to be confirmed, we’ve said so plainly — and our team is always happy to share current availability and the latest lease terms on request.

A Development Designed for Accessible, Everyday Urban Living

Alba Apartments is built for real life. The thinking behind it is straightforward: well-sized, modern units, a secure and properly managed building, and a location that keeps you connected to the city — all at a monthly rent that makes sense. For a first move out on your own, a step up from a shared flat, or a settled base for a small family, that combination is genuinely valuable.

The range of unit types, from compact studios to two-bedroom homes, means there’s a fit for different needs and budgets, whether you’re an individual finding your feet, a couple setting up home, or a small family. And because the building is newly completed, these are homes you can move into now — no waiting on construction, no uncertainty about what you’re getting.

Unit Types

Alba offers four unit types available to rent. Current availability and exact unit sizes are confirmed at point of enquiry.

Unit Type	Size	Monthly Rent
Studio	22–23 sqm (approx. 237–248 sqft)	KES 30,000
Junior 1 Bedroom	31–32 sqm (approx. 334–344 sqft)	KES 40,000
Standard 1 Bedroom	40–46.5 sqm (approx. 431–501 sqft)	KES 40,000 – 45,000
2 Bedroom	53–61 sqm (approx. 570–657 sqft)	KES 50,000

• Studio — efficient and easy to maintain, the most accessible way into the building.
• Junior 1 Bedroom — a compact one-bedroom for those who want a separate bedroom without a larger footprint.
• Standard 1 Bedroom — more generous one-bedroom living, with a size range to suit.
• 2 Bedroom — the largest homes, with one to two bathrooms and a DSQ; well suited to small families or sharers.

All units come with a balcony. Bathroom configurations vary by unit (the two-bedroom is listed with one to two bathrooms) — best confirmed against the latest floor plans at point of enquiry.

Amenities

Alba is a secure, well-serviced building. Confirmed amenities include:

• 24-hour security with CCTV surveillance
• Backup generator
• Borehole water supply
• Lift / elevator access
• Reserved parking and visitor parking
• Rooftop social area
• On-site management
• Disability access

The developer’s materials also reference a swimming pool, gym, and children’s play area. We’d recommend confirming the current amenity list and what’s operational when you enquire.

Location Advantage

Alba Apartments sits in Riruta, in Dagoretti, on Wanyee Road just off Naivasha Road — a quiet, established residential area with quick, well-served links into the city.

• Around 20–40 minutes to the CBD off-peak (allow an extra 30–60 minutes during morning and evening rush)
• Direct matatu routes to the CBD include Route 4W, Route 24, and Route 111, with eight routes serving the area
• Reliable service hours — matatus typically run from around 5:30am to 10pm, with boda bodas and ride-hailing (Uber, Bolt, inDriver) covering later hours
• Stages within a short walk — Full Gospel Church/Kiruria, Gerick House, and Suma House are all close by
• Everyday convenience — close to Dagoretti Corner, with shops, schools, and services nearby

It’s a location that balances calm and connectivity: a settled residential setting to come home to, with the city comfortably within reach for work and weekends.

Payment Plan

Alba Apartments is available on standard rental terms. Monthly rents are as follows:

• Studio: KES 30,000 per month
• One-Bedroom: KES 40,000 – 45,000 per month
• Two-Bedroom: KES 50,000 per month

Deposit amount, lease length, and any additional charges (such as service charge, if applicable) are confirmed at point of enquiry. Our team can walk you through the current terms before you commit.

Why It Works for Renters

For tenants, Alba’s appeal is grounded and practical. These are modern, completed homes you can move into now, in a secure and well-managed building — with the reassurance of 24-hour security, a backup generator, and a reliable water supply. The accessible monthly rents make it a realistic option whether you’re renting solo, as a couple, or with a small family.

The Riruta setting offers a calmer, more residential feel than the busier parts of the city, while the strong matatu links and roughly 20–40 minute off-peak commute keep you well connected for work and daily life. With a range of unit sizes on offer, you can find a home that matches your needs and budget today, with room to move within the building as those needs change.

Why It Works for Investors

For landlords and property investors evaluating this location, Alba’s positioning is instructive even though these particular units are listed for rent rather than sale. Riruta’s blend of quiet residential character and strong transport links to the CBD — via direct matatu routes and a manageable off-peak commute — is the kind of location profile that tends to support consistent tenant interest across unit types.

In keeping with how we work at Block, we don’t publish rental yield, return, or occupancy projections — figures like these depend on factors no listing can promise. If you’re researching the area for investment purposes, we’re glad to share what we know about the local rental market and connect you with our team for a fuller conversation.

• Fitted kitchens

• Lift access throughout the building

The two-bedroom units are listed with additional features including a DSQ, patio, fireplace, solar water heating, air conditioning, an intercom, a laundry area, and a pantry.
