The Orchards, Northlands City

Development at a Glance

About The Orchards at Northlands City

The Orchards is the first residential phase within Northlands City: townhouses and villas across 25 acres, developed by Superior Homes Kenya. There are five house types, from a 3-bedroom semi-detached maisonette of 195 sqm to a 5-bedroom villa of 337 sqm with a DSQ and a double garage.

The homes sit inside Northlands City, whose plans include retail, recreation and sports facilities, schools and green space, according to the developer.

Every home has a fully fitted kitchen, solar water heating, a DSQ, a private garden and parking for three cars, and each homeowner can plant a fruit tree, which gives The Orchards its name.

The Orchards Residences and Prices

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.

Phase 2B started at KES 27,080,000 on the instalment plan, the starting price Superior Homes also gave in May 2026, and the developer’s sales master plan of 3 September 2026 marks every Phase 2B home as sold.

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.

Before you pay, get the price sheet and completion date for your phase, the cash price, the amount due when you sign on the instalment plan, the tenure details and the service charge from the developer in writing.

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

The 3 bedroom super semi-detached maisonette with DSQ, at 195 sqm, is the smallest home at The Orchards. 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. There are 14 of this type, according to the developer’s sales master plan.

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 46 units, according to the developer’s sales master plan, it is the most numerous house type in the development.

4 Bedroom Homes

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. There are 42 of this type, according to the developer’s sales master plan.

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. There are 14 of this type, according to the developer’s sales master plan.

5 Bedroom Villa

At 337 sqm, the 5 bedroom villa is the largest of the five house types in the developer’s June 2026 flyer, 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. There are 16 of this type, according to the developer’s sales master plan, and it is the only type with a double garage.

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. Two arterial routes mean a resident is never dependent on a single road: Thika Road connects to the CBD, Westlands and the northern commercial corridor, while the Eastern Bypass connects to Mombasa Road, JKIA and the southern industrial belt.

Schools within reach. AMREF International University, Peponi School (IGCSE), Uhuru Secondary School (KCSE) and Ndiini Primary School (CBC) are all within the Northlands City vicinity — covering primary through university, and both the Kenyan and international curricula.

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 idea behind the name.

The Developer — Superior Homes Kenya

Superior Homes Kenya PLC builds master-planned residential communities. According to the developer, its portfolio includes Greenpark Estate, a gated community with over 700 completed and occupied homes, Lukenya Plains in Athi River and Pazuri at Vipingo in Kilifi, and the company marked 20 years in 2026.

Who The Orchards Suits Best

• Growing families wanting 3 to 5 bedroom homes with en-suite bedrooms, a DSQ, private garden and parking for three cars
• Thika Road commuters — 30 minutes to the CBD, 25 to Westlands, and 25 to JKIA via the Eastern Bypass
• Mortgage buyers — eight lending partners including Stanbic, Standard Chartered, NCBA, Absa, KCB, I&M and HFC
• Large families needing five en-suite bedrooms, a DSQ and a double garage
• Diaspora buyers wanting instalment or mortgage options, and a purchase managed remotely from start to finish

It suits less well buyers who need to move in soon: The Orchards is sold off-plan, and most of the homes still for sale are in Phases 3A and 3B.
