What to check before you sign near Nairobi CBD

Almost nobody lives in the CBD itself. The practical question is which side of town you commute from, because the Uhuru Highway and Haile Selassie approaches behave very differently — pick your area to match your office gate.

For this audience the single most important specification is 24-hour security. Manned security is the default expectation across every Nairobi price band, from a single askari at a Kasarani gate to a three-shift rota with an alarm-response contract in Gigiri. What varies is not whether there are guards but whether the arrangement actually works at 02:00 on a Sunday.
