Description
Expressview Residency: 1, 2, 3 & 4-Bedroom Apartments for Sale in Lavington, Nairobi — From KES 6 Million
Expressview Residency is a modern residential development on Riara Gardens Road, off Riara Road, in the heart of Lavington, Nairobi. Offering 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, and 4-bedroom apartments from KES 6 million, the development combines Lavington’s established residential appeal with apartment sizes that redefine what buyers expect at each price point — starting at 52 sqm for the 1-bedroom and reaching 202 sqm for the 4-bedroom.
The development is backed by a developer with five completed projects — Homeland Apartments, Dara Spring Apartments, Chiluma Apartments, Golden Century I & II, and Westpeak Apartments — and offers a 34-month off-plan payment plan with a 20% deposit. Expected completion is December 2028.
Why Expressview Residency — and Why Lavington
Lavington is one of Nairobi’s most established and sought-after residential neighbourhoods. It has been a preferred address for families, professionals, expatriates, and diplomats for decades — and the fundamentals that sustain that preference are structural, not cyclical.
Proximity to everything that matters. The Junction Mall and Nairobi’s leading retail destinations are minutes from Riara Gardens Road. Top international schools and universities — the institutions that families choose Lavington for — are in the immediate area. Hospitals and medical centres are accessible without crossing the city. Kilimani, Karen, Westlands, and the CBD are all directly connected via Riara Road and the Lavington road network.
Rental demand that does not fluctuate. Lavington’s tenant profile — expatriates, diplomats, senior professionals, corporate tenants on housing allowances — creates a rental market with high-quality tenants, low vacancy rates, and stable rents. The neighbourhood attracts tenants who pay reliably, maintain properties carefully, and stay for years rather than months.
Capital appreciation with a track record. Lavington property values have appreciated consistently over the past decade. Off-plan buyers who enter early in a development cycle benefit from the price appreciation that occurs between the construction phase and completion — the capital growth that rewards patience and early commitment.
Expressview Residency sits on Riara Gardens Road, off Riara Road — in the core of this market. Not on the periphery. Not in a satellite area marketed as Lavington. In Lavington itself.
Apartments for Sale at Expressview Residency — Sizes, Prices, and What Each Configuration Delivers
Expressview Residency offers four apartment configurations — each designed with significantly more space than the Nairobi market standard for its category. The sizes are not rounding errors. They are deliberate, and they change what each apartment type can deliver.
1-Bedroom Apartments for Sale in Lavington — 52 sqm, From KES 6M
| Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Size | 52 sqm (560 sqft) |
| Price | From KES 6,000,000 |
| Per sqm | KES 115,385 |
| Deposit (20%) | KES 1,200,000 |
| Balance over 34 months | ~KES 141,000/month |
The 1-bedroom at Expressview Residency is a proper apartment — a separate enclosed bedroom, a distinct living area, a functional kitchen, and a private bathroom. At 52 sqm, it delivers the layout that young professionals, couples, and single tenants search for in Lavington, at a price point that Lavington almost never offers.
KES 6 million for a 1-bedroom in Lavington with a pool, a gym, and a coffee bar is the entry point that most buyers assume does not exist. It exists here. The 1-bedroom captures the widest tenant pool in the development — young professionals, couples, expatriates, corporate tenants — and its KES 6M price makes it accessible to first-time investors and salaried professionals buying instead of renting.
Best for: First-time investors entering the Lavington market. Salaried professionals buying a first property. Portfolio investors buying volume at the lowest capital per unit. Diaspora buyers starting a Nairobi portfolio.

2-Bedroom Apartments for Sale in Lavington — 115 sqm, From KES 11M
| Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Size | 115 sqm (1,238 sqft) |
| Price | From KES 11,000,000 |
| Per sqm | KES 95,652 |
| Deposit (20%) | KES 2,200,000 |
| Balance over 34 months | ~KES 259,000/month |
The standard Nairobi 2-bedroom measures 70 to 85 sqm. The 2-bedroom at Expressview Residency measures 115 sqm — 35 to 65 percent larger than the market norm. This is the 2-bedroom that lives like a 3-bedroom: a master bedroom with full dimensions, a second bedroom that functions as a real room (not a converted store), a living and dining area that seats a family and hosts guests without rearranging furniture, and a kitchen built for cooking rather than reheating.
At KES 95,652 per square metre, the per-metre cost sits below the Lavington average for new 2-bedroom supply. The buyer gets more space at a lower rate per metre. In the rental market, the 115 sqm layout commands a premium over compact alternatives — and retains tenants longer because no competitor at the same rent offers the same square metres.
Best for: Families needing space beyond the standard 2-bedroom. Investors targeting the Lavington family-rental market. Expatriate and corporate buyers. Couples buying a first home with room to grow.

3-Bedroom Apartments for Sale in Lavington — 173 sqm, From KES 16.5M
| Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Size | 173 sqm (1,862 sqft) |
| Price | From KES 16,500,000 |
| Per sqm | KES 95,376 |
| Deposit (20%) | KES 3,300,000 |
| Balance over 34 months | ~KES 388,000/month |
At 173 sqm, the 3-bedroom at Expressview Residency delivers three proper bedrooms — each with the dimensions for a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and floor space — plus a living and dining area built for a family of four or five, a kitchen that accommodates a full week’s cooking, and a bathroom configuration that eliminates the morning queue.
In Lavington, KES 16.5 million typically buys 100 to 120 sqm. At 173 sqm and KES 95,376 per square metre, this 3-bedroom provides 50 to 70 percent more space at a below-average per-metre cost. It is the family home where every room is a room — not a partition, not a converted corner, not a compromise. For the rental investor, the 3-bedroom is the highest-retention configuration in Lavington: families stay for years, vacancy is minimal, and the rent is stable.
Best for: Growing families buying a home in Lavington. Family-market investors targeting long-term tenants. Upgrading homeowners who have outgrown a compact 2-bedroom. Diaspora families building a home to return to.

4-Bedroom Apartments for Sale in Lavington — 202 sqm, From KES 19.8M
| Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Size | 202 sqm (2,174 sqft) |
| Price | From KES 19,800,000 |
| Per sqm | KES 98,020 |
| Deposit (20%) | KES 3,960,000 |
| Balance over 34 months | ~KES 466,000/month |
The 4-bedroom is the apartment that replaces the house. At 202 sqm — 2,174 sqft — it has the footprint of a townhouse on a single floor. Four bedrooms for a full family configuration: the master suite for the parents, a room for each child, and a fourth bedroom that serves as a guest room, a nanny’s room, or a home office. The living area has the proportions of a standalone home’s sitting room. The kitchen feeds a household.
At KES 19.8 million, the 4-bedroom costs a fraction of a comparable house in Karen or Kitisuru — and includes a swimming pool, a gym, a coffee bar, 24/7 security, and zero maintenance burden. The buyer who chooses this apartment over a house is not compromising. They are upgrading to a lifestyle where space and convenience coexist without the operational cost of a standalone property.
Best for: Large families needing four bedrooms. Premium-market investors targeting the highest-rent tenant tier — diplomats, corporate executives, senior professionals. Homeowners downsizing from a house without downsizing on space. Diaspora families building a Lavington home.

Full Price and Size Comparison — Expressview Residency
| Configuration | Size (sqm) | Size (sqft) | Price (KES) | Per sqm (KES) | 20% Deposit (KES) | Monthly Over 34 Months (KES) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom | 52 | 560 | 6,000,000 | 115,385 | 1,200,000 | ~141,000 |
| 2-Bedroom | 115 | 1,238 | 11,000,000 | 95,652 | 2,200,000 | ~259,000 |
| 3-Bedroom | 173 | 1,862 | 16,500,000 | 95,376 | 3,300,000 | ~388,000 |
| 4-Bedroom | 202 | 2,174 | 19,800,000 | 98,020 | 3,960,000 | ~466,000 |
The per-square-metre cost reveals a pattern: the 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom configurations deliver the lowest cost per square metre in the development (KES 95,652 and KES 95,376 respectively), making them the strongest value propositions on a space-per-shilling basis. The 1-bedroom trades a higher per-metre cost for the lowest total capital outlay and the broadest tenant pool. The 4-bedroom commands a slight per-metre premium for the rarest configuration — 200+ sqm apartments in Lavington are genuinely scarce.
Payment Plan — 20% Deposit, Balance Over 34 Months
Expressview Residency offers a structured off-plan payment plan designed to make Lavington ownership accessible without a mortgage:
Step 1: Pay a 20% deposit on booking to secure your preferred unit.
Step 2: Pay the remaining 80% over 34 monthly instalments during the construction period.
There is no bank loan, no mortgage approval process, and no compounding interest. The buyer builds equity incrementally while the development progresses toward completion in December 2028.
| Configuration | 20% Deposit | Monthly Instalment (34 months) |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom | KES 1,200,000 | ~KES 141,000 |
| 2-Bedroom | KES 2,200,000 | ~KES 259,000 |
| 3-Bedroom | KES 3,300,000 | ~KES 388,000 |
| 4-Bedroom | KES 3,960,000 | ~KES 466,000 |
For the 1-bedroom buyer, the monthly instalment is approximately KES 141,000 — comparable to what many Nairobi professionals currently pay in rent. The difference is that rent builds the landlord’s equity. This plan builds yours.
Lifestyle Amenities at Expressview Residency
The amenity package at Expressview Residency serves two purposes: for the owner-occupier, it creates the lifestyle that makes the apartment a home. For the investor, it creates the competitive advantage that keeps vacancy low and rent strong.
Swimming pool — the leisure amenity that elevates a development from housing to lifestyle, and that tenants in Lavington actively search for.
Fully equipped gym — fitness infrastructure within the compound, eliminating the cost and commute of an external membership.
Coffee bar — a social and co-working space within the development. Morning coffee. Afternoon work sessions. Evening catch-ups with neighbours. The amenity that most residential developments do not provide — and that tenants and residents use daily.
Children’s play area — dedicated, safe outdoor space for younger residents. The amenity that family tenants evaluate before they evaluate the apartment.
High-speed elevators — operational efficiency for daily life.
Borehole water supply — water security independent of county infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted supply.
Intercom system — in-unit communication and access control.
24/7 manned security with CCTV surveillance — the comprehensive security infrastructure that Lavington residents and tenants require.
Developer Track Record
Expressview Residency is developed by a team with a proven delivery history across five completed residential projects in Nairobi:
Homeland Apartments — Completed and occupied. Dara Spring Apartments — Completed and occupied. Chiluma Apartments — Completed and occupied. Golden Century I & II — Completed and occupied. Westpeak Apartments — Completed and occupied.
Five developments built, finished, and handed over. For the off-plan buyer, the developer’s track record is the risk mitigation that separates a credible investment from a speculative one. Expressview Residency is not a first project by an untested developer. It is the next project by a builder who has delivered — repeatedly.

Expressview Residency is located on Riara Gardens Road, off Riara Road, in Lavington — one of Nairobi’s most established and connected residential neighbourhoods.
Nearby landmarks and destinations:
- The Junction Mall — Nairobi’s leading retail and entertainment destination, minutes from the development
- Top international schools and universities — the educational institutions that make Lavington a first-choice neighbourhood for families

Lavington’s location at the intersection of Nairobi’s key residential and commercial corridors is the reason the neighbourhood has sustained demand for decades. The tenant who rents in Lavington works in Westlands, Kilimani, or the CBD — and the commute is measured in minutes, not hours. The family that buys in Lavington has schools, hospitals, retail, and restaurants within a radius that makes daily life manageable without a complex logistics plan.
Who Should Buy at Expressview Residency
The Lavington investor — four apartment configurations from KES 6M to KES 19.8M, each offering more space per shilling than the Lavington market average, in a neighbourhood with proven rental demand and consistent capital appreciation.
The first-time buyer — the 1-bedroom at KES 6M with a 34-month payment plan is the most affordable entry into Lavington property ownership. A pool, a gym, a coffee bar, and a Lavington address at a monthly instalment of approximately KES 141,000.
The growing family — the 2, 3, and 4-bedroom configurations offer 115, 173, and 202 sqm respectively — apartment sizes that most Lavington developments cannot match. Space for the children to have their own rooms. Space for the family to live without compromise.
The portfolio builder — at KES 6M for a 1-bedroom and KES 11M for a 115 sqm 2-bedroom, the capital efficiency allows investors to acquire multiple units or diversify across configurations within a single well-managed development.
The diaspora buyer — Lavington is the Nairobi address that the diaspora knows and trusts. A 34-month payment plan from a developer with five completed projects. Buy from abroad. Rent while away. Move in when the time comes.
The downsizing homeowner — the 4-bedroom at 202 sqm delivers the space of a house without the maintenance burden, the security cost, or the isolation. A pool, a gym, and a coffee bar included — not built at additional expense.

Is Expressview Residency a good investment?
Lavington is one of Nairobi’s strongest rental markets, with high-quality tenants — expatriates, diplomats, senior professionals, and corporate tenants on housing allowances. The neighbourhood has a track record of consistent capital appreciation. Off-plan buyers benefit from price appreciation during the construction period, and the apartment sizes at Expressview Residency (52 to 202 sqm) are significantly larger than the market norm at each price point — a competitive advantage for both rental income and resale value.

The 4-bedroom at 202 sqm is a configuration that very few Lavington developments offer at all. The per-square-metre cost (KES 95,376 to KES 115,385) sits below the Lavington average for new supply, meaning buyers get more space at a lower rate per metre.
