How suburban growth is changing real estate
Residents in emerging urban nodes prioritise convenience and proximity, seeking access to essential services close to home rather than travelling into city centres.
Kenya’s urban growth is increasingly taking on a decentralised character. Satellite towns along major transport corridors, particularly lower Mombasa Road, Athi River, Mlolongo, and Syokimau, are evolving rapidly, shedding their former identity as commuter settlements to become self-sustaining urban centres.
