Furnished Apartments Near Waiyaki Way, Nairobi

Waiyaki Way is the western artery, running from Westlands out through Kangemi to Uthiru and the Nakuru highway. Anyone commuting between Westlands and Loresho, Kitisuru or Lower Kabete lives with it daily.

Westbound evening traffic is the single worst peak flow in Nairobi. If your office is in Westlands, living west of Kangemi will cost you an hour a day — verify the route before signing.

For this audience the single most important specification is air conditioning. Nairobi sits at roughly 1,795 metres and rarely needs cooling — daytime highs mostly run in the mid-twenties Celsius and evenings are cool enough for a blanket. Air conditioning here is therefore a signal rather than a necessity: it appears in high-floor glass towers that overheat in the afternoon, in Mombasa Road and Syokimau units at lower elevation, and in premium serviced stock built to an international specification.
