The one-bedroom homes at Gemini Residency are a stylish, low-maintenance option in one of the calmer, greener corners of Westlands. Set on the Brookside Grove / Matundu Lane side of the district — a short hop from Sarit Centre, Westgate and Karura Forest — they pair an efficient, open-plan home with an unusually deep set of shared amenities, two swimming pools among them.
It’s a natural fit for a busy professional or a couple who want a central city base without the upkeep of a larger home, and an equally natural one to let. Below is everything you need on the one-bedroom apartments; we’re glad to talk any of it through.
Layouts and Pricing
| Layout | Internal area | Guide price from |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom | 58 sqm (624 sqft) | KES 8.3M |
| 1-Bedroom | 65 sqm (700 sqft) | KES 9.5M |
Guide prices are entry-level “from” figures and vary by phase, floor level and aspect. A smaller 56 sqm one-bedroom has also been offered in presale phases from around KES 7.5M, and early-bird presale rates have applied to the 58 sqm layout; phase pricing on that layout has been quoted as high as KES 8.7M in earlier material, so the table above should be read as the current guide. For exact, current, unit-by-unit pricing — and any active offer or remaining availability — please request the latest price list.
A Home Designed for Modern City Living
A well-planned one-bedroom apartment does a great deal of work in Westlands. The layouts here are open-plan, with living, dining and kitchen space flowing together, a breakfast island in the kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in natural light and open up the skyline.
It’s comfortable to live in, straightforward to run and easy to secure — and with two pools, a gym, a rooftop lounge and co-working space in the building, much of your week can happen without leaving home. For a tenant weighing up options in the area, that depth of amenity tends to stand out.

Why It Works for Homeowners
- A central address that still feels residential — the convenience of Westlands with the calm of a leafy Brookside street.
- Right-sized, low-maintenance living — easy to run and secure, ideal for professionals or as a city base for owners who split their time.
- Amenities you’ll actually use, from two pools and a gym to a rooftop lounge and co-working space.

Why It Works for Investors
Brookside and Westlands are among Nairobi’s most consistently in-demand residential areas, and the fundamentals behind that are the real story rather than any headline number.
- A deep tenant pool drawn from the surrounding offices, the CBD, and the Gigiri diplomatic and UN zone — professionals, expatriates and diplomatic staff.
- An efficient, lettable unit — a compact one-bedroom with a full amenity offering is among the more straightforward to let and manage in this market.
- Amenities that help a unit stand out in a competitive letting market.
We don’t publish projected yields or rental figures, as those depend on the specific unit, finish and market at the time. We can, however, share current comparable rents and a grounded view of local demand so you can build your own numbers — just ask.
