Choosing where to live shapes your daily life more than almost any other decision. Here is our take on the best areas for young professionals in Nairobi right now.
Kilimani — Walkable, dense with cafes and gyms, and close to Yaya Centre and the CBD. Ideal if you want an urban, social lifestyle.
Westlands — The city's business and nightlife hub, with easy access to malls, co-working spaces, and a short commute to most corporate offices.
Upperhill — Quieter than Kilimani but still minutes from the CBD, popular with professionals who want a shorter commute without the noise.
Lavington — Leafier and more residential, a good middle ground if you want some peace and quiet while staying close to the action.
