Where Nairobi County imposes a strict half-acre minimum holding in Karen, Kerarapon, which falls under Kajiado County, has its buyers secure as little as a quarter-acre, and in rare cases even an eighth of an acre. Over the years, this has created a flexible market that has appealed to a new generation of home owners and developers.
Kerarapon long played second fiddle to its better-known and better-served neighbour, Karen. While buyers seeking quiet, upscale suburbs flocked to Karen’s gated villas and tree-lined boulevards, Kerarapon remained a semi-rural fringe dotted with family homes and pockets of farmland.
