Description
Some homes are chosen for their address. Others are chosen for the space they give a family to live well. Five Star Hills, set beside Five Star Paradise off Kiambu Road in Runda, is built to offer both.
This is a closed collection of just 54 Signature Villas in a green, low-density enclave, deliberately removed from the pace of the city. Each villa is a four or five bedroom home of more than 4,500 sq.ft., with a statement fireplace, private patio and landscaped garden. Inside a fully secured perimeter, residents also share a clubhouse, a heated pool and estate-wide walking trails.
Construction begins in July 2026, with handover expected in March 2028. For buyers looking for a Runda villa for sale with generous proportions and a considered security setup, Five Star Hills deserves a close look.

A Development Designed for Spacious Family Living
Five Star Hills is planned for households that want room: space to host, to spread out, and to grow into. The villas open from an expansive lounge and formal dining area onto a private patio and landscaped garden, so indoor and outdoor living flow together.
A statement fireplace anchors the main living space, and a dedicated family TV lounge keeps everyday life relaxed and separate from the formal rooms. Every bedroom is ensuite and configured as a private retreat.
The estate itself is low-density and green. Walking and jogging trails run across it, children have a dedicated play area, and a residents’ clubhouse gives the community a natural meeting point. It is a setting for a settled, permanent kind of living rather than a dense, high-turnover one.

Five Star Hills is sold off-plan, and the development’s payment calculator is built around a deposit of 30%. Buyers can adjust the deposit and payment frequency to estimate their schedule.
For the Canaan 4 Bedroom Signature Villa, the purchase price is KES 97,450,000.
We recommend requesting the latest payment schedule and price list through Block Real Estate before making a decision, so you can confirm the figures against your own budget and financing plans.
Why It Works for Homeowners
- Space that fits family life. Both villa types exceed 4,500 sq.ft., with a formal lounge and dining area, a separate family TV lounge, and ensuite bedrooms throughout.
- A calm, green setting. Low density, landscaped surroundings and estate-wide trails give the community a spacious, unhurried feel.
- Facilities on your doorstep. A clubhouse, heated pool, gym and children’s play area mean weekends can happen close to home.
- Layered security. Electric fencing, CCTV in common areas, 24-hour manned security and in-home alarm provision give families practical peace of mind.
- Established surroundings. Schools, hospitals, shopping and the Gigiri diplomatic area are all within easy reach.
Why It Works for Investors
Runda is an established address with limited developable land remaining within its estates, and Five Star Hills is capped at 54 villas. That limited supply, in a corridor with long-standing demand from diplomats, expatriates and returning diaspora buyers, is part of the case for the development.
The specification also supports a wider tenant pool. Fully ensuite bedrooms, built-in appliance kitchens, porcelain finishes and comprehensive security are features that family tenants and corporate occupiers tend to look for.
Buying off-plan, with construction beginning in July 2026 and handover expected in March 2028, means committing early in the delivery timeline. Returns, rental demand and capital appreciation cannot be guaranteed. We would encourage investors to review the payment schedule, test their own assumptions and speak with our advisors before committing.
