3 Bedroom Furnished Apartments in Loresho, Nairobi — Corporate Housing, KES 350,000+/month, Medium Stay

Loresho sits on the ridge above Waiyaki Way between Westlands and Kangemi, and it is the quiet, practical alternative for people who need fast Westlands access without paying Westlands prices or living in a tower. The housing mix is townhouses and low-rise apartment courts on generous plots, much of it built for long-term owner-occupation and therefore finished to a better standard than equivalent rental-yield developments. Loresho Ridge and the surrounding gated courts have mature gardens, boreholes and manned security; the Kenya School of Government, ILRI and several research institutions are immediate neighbours, which brings a steady stream of academic and development-sector tenants. Westlands is ten to fifteen minutes down the hill and the CBD around twenty-five; the Nairobi Expressway and the Western Bypass have improved onward connections considerably. Retail is thin inside the neighbourhood itself — most residents shop in Westlands or at the nearby Naivas and Chandarana outlets — so this is not a walkable-lifestyle choice. It is, however, one of the better value-per-square-metre propositions on the western side of the city for a furnished three-bedroom.

Corporate tenants gravitate to Loresho for reasons that are specific rather than general. Westlands offices is roughly 5.2 km away, about 14 minutes by car outside peak. The area rates 4 out of 5 on practical tenant security and 34 out of 100 on walkability, which matters more than most listings admit when you are new to the city. What we prioritise for this brief is invoice-friendly landlords, longer notice terms, and units that are genuinely move-in ready on day one. For medium stays of one to six months, the practical implication is lease structure: expect a one-to-six month lease, a one or two month deposit, and room to negotiate utilities into the rent.

3 Bedroom furnished units in Loresho sit at KES 200,000 – KES 330,000 per month across the market as a whole. Within the kes 350,000+ band specifically, you are looking at units where you are in serviced or near-serviced territory: cleaning, laundry, concierge-level security and premium finishes. Service charge in Loresho averages around KES 3,000 per square metre per month, so confirm whether the quoted rent is inclusive. Rental yield in the area runs at about 7.6%, which is useful context for how hard a landlord will negotiate: high-yield, high-supply areas negotiate; 83% occupancy tells you how much room you actually have.
