How do I find a place to live in Kenya?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Was born here so I am somewhat familiar with the areas, but after so many years away, use someone local that you trust. Keep in mind "Help" is not free in Kenya, even when people are supposed to do their job," explained one foreigner living in Nairobi, the whole country, Kenya.
