Very few homes in Nairobi let you wake to a forest. Forest One Residency is one of them — a contemporary residential development on Eldama Ravine Road, off General Mathenge in Westlands, set right on the edge of Karura Forest.
It’s a rare combination: the calm, green and privacy of forest-front living, with Sarit Centre, Westgate and the GTC only minutes away. Choose from 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, from KES 9.7M, each designed to make the most of natural light, cross-ventilation and those long views over the forest canopy. For a homeowner who wants serenity without leaving the city — or an investor drawn to one of Westlands’ most distinctive addresses — it’s a considered, confident choice.
Below is everything you need to weigh it up. Where a detail is still being finalised, we’ve said so plainly, and our team can share the latest brochure, floor plans, price list and payment schedule whenever you’re ready.
A Development Designed for Forest-Front Living
Forest One Residency is built around its setting. The apartments are arranged for privacy and quiet, with large balconies and terraces that face the forest, floor-to-ceiling windows that pull in natural light, and cross-ventilated layouts that keep the air fresh. Between the buildings sit quiet, landscaped internal courtyards — a calm, green heart to the development.
It’s a home that feels a world away from the city, yet sits squarely within it. Step out for a morning walk or cycle on the Karura Forest trails, then be at a Westlands meeting, mall or school within minutes. For buyers who value space, calm and a genuine connection to nature, there are few addresses in Nairobi quite like it.
Unit Types
Each home is offered individually, and every layout is designed to maximise light, ventilation and forest views. The developer’s current Price & Size schedule is shown below; bathroom configurations for the 2 and 3-bedroom homes follow the “all en-suite” arrangement noted by the developer and should be confirmed against the final floor plans.
1 Bedroom (Type D) — 76 sqm · 1 bathroom · KES 9,700,000
A bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom — an ideal forest-front home or city base.
1 Bedroom (Type B) — 79 sqm · 1 bathroom · KES 10,000,000
A little more room, with the same calm orientation and quality finishes.
1 Bedroom (Type C) — 81 sqm · 1 bathroom · KES 10,300,000
The most generous one-bedroom layout, for buyers who want extra space.
2 Bedroom (Type E, all en-suite) — 120 sqm · KES 15,200,000
A spacious two-bedroom with both bedrooms en-suite — a comfortable forest-front home for couples and small families.
3 Bedroom + DSQ (Type A, all en-suite) — 179 sqm · KES 22,700,000
The flagship layout: a generous three-bedroom, all en-suite, with a domestic staff quarter (DSQ) and panoramic forest and skyline views.

Why It Works for Homeowners
This is a home for buyers who want calm without compromise. The forest setting brings quiet, privacy and clean air; the layouts bring light, space and long green views; and the Westlands location keeps work, school, shopping and healthcare within easy reach. With a secure, professionally managed building and a genuine connection to nature, it’s a refined place to settle for the long term.
Why It Works for Investors
Forest-front addresses in Westlands are genuinely scarce — roads bordering Karura Forest are limited, and Eldama Ravine is among the most established. That distinctiveness, together with Westlands’ steady base of executive and expatriate tenants, gives the development a clear position in the market. We don’t publish guaranteed returns — rental performance depends on unit type, finishing, furnishing and timing, and the Q1 2028 occupation means this is a medium-term commitment — but we’re glad to prepare a current, realistic rental assessment for the unit you’re considering and discuss it openly before you commit.
