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...
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Kenya is to use online resources such as property websites, classifieds, and social media. You can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable place to live. Additionally, you can ask friends and family who live in Kenya for recommendations. Finally, you can also look for rental postings in newspapers and other local publications," said another expat in Kenya.
"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," wrote a member who made the move to Nairobi, the whole country, Kenya.
