About The Orchards at Northlands City
The Orchards is the first residential phase within Northlands City — 134 contemporary townhouses and villas across 25 acres, developed by Superior Homes Kenya. The development offers five distinct house types, from a 3-bedroom semi-detached maisonette at KES 27,080,000 to a 5-bedroom villa with DSQ and double garage at KES 46,380,000, spanning 195 to 337 sqm of living space.
The developer behind The Orchards is not a newcomer testing a concept. Superior Homes Kenya built Greenpark Estate — over 700 occupied and completed homes in a thriving gated community. They built Lukenya Plains in Athi River, and Pazuri at Vipingo in Kilifi. The Orchards applies that track record — the same developer, the same build methodology, the same commitment to master-planned communities — inside Northlands City.
What separates The Orchards from other 3-to-5-bedroom developments along Thika Road or the Eastern Bypass is not only the house. It is the city that surrounds it. A buyer here does not purchase a home in a standalone estate, but a home inside a planned city with its own airstrip, retail, recreation and sports infrastructure, schools and landscaped green space.
From KES 27,080,000. All bedrooms en suite. Fully fitted kitchens. Solar water heating. DSQ. Private gardens. Private parking for three cars. And a fruit tree planted by every homeowner — the signature gesture that gives The Orchards its name.
The Orchards Price List — Phase 2B
Every house type shares the same core specification: all bedrooms en suite, a fully fitted kitchen with oven, microwave, hood, hob and dishwasher, solar water heating, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, a DSQ, a balcony, a laundry area, a dining and lounge area, and private parking for three cars. The distinction between types is size, bedroom count and building form.
| House type | Size | Units | Instalment price | Mortgage price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 Bedroom Super Semi-Detached Maisonette + DSQ | 195 sqm (2,099 sq ft) | 18 | KES 27,080,000 | KES 28,380,000 |
| 3 Bedroom Detached Townhouse + DSQ | 229 sqm (2,465 sq ft) | 45 | KES 31,980,000 | KES 33,480,000 |
| 4 Bedroom Standard Detached Townhouse + DSQ | 259 sqm (2,788 sq ft) | 41 | KES 34,980,000 | KES 36,880,000 |
| 4 Bedroom Villa + DSQ | 282 sqm (3,035 sq ft) | 16 | KES 40,480,000 | KES 42,580,000 |
| 5 Bedroom Villa + DSQ, double garage | 337 sqm (3,627 sq ft) | 14 | KES 46,380,000 | KES 48,780,000 |
These are the Phase 2B figures. Superior Homes describes them as introductory offers on a limited number of units, which may change from time to time — so confirm the live price and remaining availability before you commit. Block Real Estate will send you the current sheet on request.
Payment Plans and Mortgage Options
Three routes to purchase are available at The Orchards, and the price you pay depends on which one you take.
- Cash. 90% is payable upfront and the remaining 10% on completion of the unit.
- Instalment. The instalment price is paid in full within 12 months of signing the offer letter, in at least four quarterly instalments.
- Mortgage. The mortgage price is accepted on receipt of a bank letter confirming that your facility has been approved.
Budget also for statutory costs, including stamp duty at 4% on transfer. Every figure is set out in your offer letter and sale agreement before you commit.
Mortgage Partners
The Orchards is served by a panel of mortgage partners: Stanbic Bank, Standard Chartered, NCBA, Gulf African Bank, Absa, KCB Bank, I&M Bank and HFC. If you are financing the purchase, Block Real Estate can help you approach the lender whose terms best suit your position, and coordinate the approval letter the developer requires.
House Types at The Orchards
3 Bedroom Homes — from KES 27,080,000
The 3 bedroom super semi-detached maisonette with DSQ, at 195 sqm, is the most accessible entry into The Orchards and into Northlands City. Three en-suite bedrooms, a DSQ, a fully fitted kitchen, solar water heating, a walk-in closet in the master, a balcony, a laundry area, parking for three cars and a private garden. The semi-detached format shares one wall with a neighbouring unit, which reduces the footprint cost and delivers the price advantage — but the interior specification is identical to the detached types. Eighteen units exist.
The 3 bedroom detached townhouse with DSQ, at 229 sqm, adds 34 sqm and removes the shared wall — windows on all four sides, natural cross-ventilation and the privacy a standalone home provides. At 45 units it is the most numerous house type in the development.
4 Bedroom Homes — from KES 34,980,000
The 4 bedroom standard detached townhouse with DSQ, at 259 sqm, delivers the fourth bedroom that a family of four or five eventually needs — a dedicated home office, a teenager’s independent space, or a guest bedroom that does not borrow from daily use. Four en-suite bedrooms means every room has its own bathroom. Forty-one units exist.
The 4 bedroom villa with DSQ, at 282 sqm, trades the townhouse’s vertical stacking for the villa’s horizontal spread. The floor plan splits 156 sqm on the ground floor and 126 sqm on the first: entry lobby, lounge, dining, a kitchen with a breakfast area, a terrace and yard, a guest cloakroom, and a ground-floor bedroom with its own bathroom — useful for older relatives or guests who would rather not take the stairs. Upstairs sit the master bedroom with its walk-in closet, two further en-suite bedrooms, a family room and three balconies. The DSQ has its own bathroom and store. Only 16 units of this type exist.
5 Bedroom Villa — KES 46,380,000
The flagship of The Orchards. At 337 sqm it is the largest home in the development, with five en-suite bedrooms, a DSQ, a double garage, private parking for three additional cars, a fully fitted kitchen, solar water heating, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, a balcony, a laundry area and private manicured gardens. Only 14 units exist, and the double garage is exclusive to this house type.
Standard Specification — Every Home at The Orchards
- All bedrooms en suite — every bedroom in every house type has its own private bathroom.
- Fully fitted kitchen — oven, microwave, hood, hob and dishwasher, installed and ready.
- Solar water heating — hot water heated by the sun, reducing the running cost from day one.
- Walk-in closet in the master bedroom — a dedicated dressing space rather than a wardrobe.
- Servants’ quarters (DSQ) — included with every house type.
- Balcony, laundry area, dining and lounge area — standard across all five house types.
- Private parking for three cars — the 5 bedroom villa adds a double garage on top.
- Private manicured gardens — each home has its own landscaped garden.
Location — Thika Road and the Eastern Bypass
The Orchards is reachable via Thika Road Super Highway or via the Eastern Bypass.

|---|---|
| Nairobi CBD | 30 minutes |
| Westlands | 25 minutes |

The Fruit Tree Programme
The name is not metaphorical. Every homeowner at The Orchards has the opportunity to plant a fruit tree in their compound, choosing from five species: loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), pomegranate (Punica granatum), guava (Psidium guajava), apple (Malus pumila) or mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata). It is the development’s signature community gesture — a living investment that grows alongside the family and, over time, turns The Orchards into the landscaped orchard its name promises.
