Scene Summary
Nairobi's co-living market is in its early stages but growing rapidly. The sector is driven by remote workers, young professionals, and digital nomads attracted to the city's tech ecosystem and vibrant culture. Developers are converting vacant apartments into co-living spaces to meet demand. While the market remains relatively nascent with only a handful of operators, properties are increasingly clustering in neighborhoods like Parklands, Kileleshwa, Kilimani, Lavington, and Karen. Monthly pricing typically ranges from $400–$1,200 per room, with most offers including furnished rooms, utilities, WiFi, cleaning, and access to shared workspaces and community events. Operators are beginning to price accommodation in US dollars to attract international residents.
