Kajiado County has emerged as one of Nairobi's most sought-after satellite towns for residential development, offering affordable land prices compared to the city while maintaining good accessibility. The county's residential zones provide excellent opportunities for both individual home builders and real estate developers.
The residential land market in Kajiado has shown consistent annual appreciation of 12-15% over the past five years, driven by infrastructure improvements including the ongoing expansion of the Nairobi-Kajiado highway. The area benefits from clean air, scenic views, and a growing middle-class population seeking quality living spaces outside Nairobi's congestion.
| Land Type | Average Price Range | Popular Areas | Typical Sizes |

| Standard Residential Plot | Ksh 1.5-3M per plot | Kitengela, Rongai | 1/8 - 1/4 acre |
| Gated Community Plot | Ksh 3-6M per plot | Athi River, Ole Kasasi | 1/4 - 1/2 acre |
| Large Development Parcel | Ksh 2-4M per acre | Kiserian, Isinya | 5+ acres |
The upcoming completion of the Nairobi Commuter Rail extension to Kajiado is expected to further boost property values. The county government has zoned specific areas for high-density residential development, allowing for apartment constructions near transport hubs.
