Real Estate Spotlight: Marigold II and Langata Townhouses
Marigold II is a newly launched development in Langata, Nairobi, featuring duplex and triplex townhouses. Located along Langata Link Road, it aims to capitalize on the growing demand for secure, low-density townhouse communities in Nairobi.
Investment Case for Langata Townhouses
There is a growing trend of homeowners and investors favoring townhouses over apartments, seeking more privacy, green spaces, and potential for long-term value. Detached homes, including townhouses, have shown strong performance with a 3.75% quarterly price growth and 7.8% year-on-year appreciation.
Langata is an attractive location due to its proximity to reputable schools and hospitals, as well as retail and leisure facilities. Its accessibility is enhanced by infrastructure improvements like the Southern Bypass. The area maintains a low-density environment, offering a quiet and green setting, while community policing and zoning regulations help protect property values.
Marigold II is currently 45% complete and 60% sold. Similar low-density estates in Nairobi have shown average rental yields of 8%, which is higher than most high-rise properties. Limited new development in Langata is also expected to support capital appreciation for Marigold II
