What to check before you sign near US Embassy

Security-cleared housing generally needs a manned gate, a perimeter wall with electric fence, grilles on ground-floor windows and a 24-hour guard rota you can inspect. Ask for the guarding company's name and check they operate a monitored alarm response.

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.
