3 Bedroom Furnished Apartments in South B, Nairobi — Corporate Housing, KES 200,000 – 350,000/month, Long Stay

South B is a planned, mature middle-income estate off Mombasa Road, and it does something few Nairobi neighbourhoods manage: it is genuinely affordable, genuinely convenient and genuinely established all at once. The CBD is fifteen minutes north, JKIA around twenty-five minutes south, and Upper Hill's offices are close enough that it serves as a practical commuter base. Capital Centre and the South B shopping centre cover retail; Mater Hospital is on the doorstep; and the estate layout — with its own schools, churches and playing fields — makes it more self-contained than most. Furnished stock is dominated by two- and three-bedroom apartments in mid-rise blocks, typically standard rather than luxury furnishing, with backup water tanks near-universal and generators in the newer builds. Tenants are largely Kenyan professional households, airline and airport-linked staff, and cost-conscious medium-stay visitors. The honest caveats: Mombasa Road traffic and the industrial area to the north generate noise and air quality that vary block by block, and some older sections of the estate have ageing water infrastructure. Value here is real, but inspect specifics.

Corporate tenants gravitate to South B for reasons that are specific rather than general. Mater Hospital is roughly 1 km away, about 4 minutes by car outside peak. The area rates 3 out of 5 on practical tenant security and 66 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 long stays of six months or more, the practical implication is lease structure: expect a six or twelve month lease, two months' deposit, and meaningfully better monthly rates than short-stay equivalents.

3 Bedroom furnished units in South B sit at KES 130,000 – KES 210,000 per month across the market as a whole. Within the kes 200,000 – 350,000 band specifically, you are looking at units where you should expect generator, borehole, gym, pool, lift, secure basement parking and a genuinely well-specified kitchen. Service charge in South B averages around KES 2,400 per square metre per month, so confirm whether the quoted rent is inclusive. Rental yield in the area runs at about 9.4%, which is useful context for how hard a landlord will negotiate: high-yield, high-supply areas negotiate; 84% occupancy tells you how much room you actually have.
