Should I buy or rent a home in Nairobi?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Nairobi, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Nairobi can be a great investment, as the city is growing rapidly and property values are increasing. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in the city, as well as the availability of housing. Renting a home in Nairobi can be a more affordable option, and it can also provide more flexibility if you are not sure how long you will be living in the city. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Nairobi will depend on your individual needs and budget," wrote a member who made the move to Nairobi, Kenya.
