About the Standard 2-Bedroom Suite
This is the entry point into the 2-bedroom collection at Balkis Residences and the most efficient of the three 2-bedroom layouts. It runs from 109 sqm to 114 sqm depending on floor and orientation, and unlike the two larger 2-bedroom layouts it does not include a DSQ or a separate study.
- Size: 109–114 sqm (1,173–1,227 sq ft)
- Price: from KES 12,700,000 — confirm the current price list with us
- Layout: a bright open-plan living and dining area, a modern fitted kitchen, and two private bedrooms
- Suits: professionals and couples who want two bedrooms in an established address without paying for staff quarters
If you need a third room for live-in help, a guest or storage, look at the 2-bedroom + DSQ layout instead; if you also need a dedicated home office, the 2-bedroom + study + DSQ layout is the one to compare. Both are linked below.

Location and Connectivity
Balkis Residences sits on Riverside Drive, between Westlands and Gigiri, in an established diplomatic and corporate district of embassies, international organisations and prime office towers on mature tree-lined streets. Westlands is the nearest commercial centre for shopping, dining and offices; the Gigiri diplomatic quarter lies to the north.
No drive times or distances have been published for this development, so we do not quote any here. We are glad to time the drive from your own office or school run during a viewing.
On the Investment Case
On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell, and no one can guarantee them. What can be said plainly is that this is a 109 to 114 sqm two-bedroom apartment at Balkis Residences on Riverside Drive in Riverside, Westlands, Nairobi, for sale from KES 12,700,000, the smallest of the three 2-bedroom layouts in a development that runs from 66 sqm one-bedroom suites up to a 210 sqm three-bedroom residence, in an established diplomatic and corporate district between Westlands and Gigiri. We are glad to help you review comparable sales and lettings and connect you with independent advisers.
If you are considering a furnished or short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building’s management rules and on applicable regulations — worth confirming before you buy.
