Build equity, not receipts
Rent leaves nothing behind. A mortgage payment of a similar size steadily buys you the apartment, and Nairobi property has historically appreciated over the long term.

Renting in Nairobi? Run the numbers first
Rents in prime Nairobi suburbs have climbed steadily. For many 1 to 3 bedroom apartments in Westlands, Kilimani and Kileleshwa, the monthly mortgage payment on a purchase lands in the same range as the rent on an equivalent unit. The difference is that every payment builds your equity rather than your landlord's.

Renting vs buying in Nairobi: common questions
Does Hauzisha list houses or apartments for rent in Nairobi?
Not anymore. Hauzisha now focuses on verified apartments for sale in Nairobi, curated by an in-house team. If you are renting today, it is worth checking whether buying a similar apartment costs less per month than your rent once you factor in a mortgage.
Why did Hauzisha move from rentals to sales?
We chose to do one thing well: a tightly curated, verified set of apartments for sale in Nairobi's best neighbourhoods, with real KES prices, full photos and direct WhatsApp contact on every listing. That focus is hard to deliver across a large, fast-moving rental market.
Can renting in Nairobi cost more than buying?
Often, yes. For many 1 to 3 bedroom apartments in Westlands, Kilimani and Kileleshwa, the monthly mortgage payment on a purchase is in the same range as the monthly rent, and you build equity instead of paying a landlord. Use our mortgage payment calculator to compare your own numbers.
