The one bedroom apartment at Modern City offers approximately 807 sq. ft. (75 sqm) of living space, providing a noticeably more generous option for buyers who want a conventional one bedroom home in Kilimani.

Starting from KES 8.2 million, the apartment may particularly appeal to individual professionals, couples and buyers who want more separation between living and sleeping areas than a studio provides.

Its relatively generous floor area also makes it relevant to investors targeting tenants who value space and may be looking for a longer-term home rather than a compact city unit.

A Spacious One Bedroom for Everyday Living

At approximately 807 sq. ft. (75 sqm), this apartment provides a meaningful amount of room for a one bedroom residence.

It may allow greater flexibility for:

  • Living and dining furniture
  • Working from home
  • Storage
  • Hosting visitors
  • Longer-term occupation

For someone buying at Modern City primarily as a home, this may provide a useful balance between manageable ownership and everyday comfort.

Location Advantage

Why It Works for Homeowners

The apartment may appeal to homeowners who want:
