Standing at one end of the lakeside city of Kisumu, luxurious homes dot Riat Hills which is just over five kilometres from the central business district (CBD). The unique architectural designs and well-manicured fences that surround the houses provide a perfect place for a dream home.
On a closer look, however, most of the magnificent homes display elegance in decay as a number of homeowners have left their multi-million shillings structures unoccupied for most parts of the year as they reside out of town.
