Where Can I Find Plots for Sale in Mlolongo?

Mlolongo is one of the fastest growing Nairobi suburbs. Mlolongo itself is in Athiriver/Mavoko subcounty of Machakos, but Nairobi city has grown to a level where it seems to have swallowed up Mlolongo. Thus, whereas Mlolongo may be administratively in Machakos, it is practically a part of Nairobi in all other respects. It is part of the Nairobi Metropolitan area. Given that state of affairs, and the fact that Mlolongo town is growing so fast, we are seeing an every rising number of people seeking to buy plots here. And that is what leads to the question as to where exactly one can find plots for sale in Mlolongo.

The truth of the matter is that there are plots for sale in all parts of Mlolongo. The only challenge may be in finding someone who is selling at the exact point when you go shopping. The other challenge may be in finding someone who is selling a plot in Mlolongo at a price you can afford.

There are 4 main areas where you can buy a plot in Mlolongo: 

The first area is the one that is commonly referred to as Mlolongo phase 1/the old Mlolongo town. So this is the area between the Mlolongo weighbridge, Madharau street and the Mlolongo main road/service lane. The plots in this area can be rather costly, as it fronts the main Mombasa Nairobi highway. Getting a plot for sale in this area of Mlolongo can at times be just as hard as getting a Safaricomjob. Sometimes posing the question as to whether you can find a plot for sale in this area is as futile as asking whether you can apply for a KenyaID online.

The second area where you can buy plots in Mlolongo is the one that is commonly referred to as Mlolongo Phase 2. This is arguably the most developed part, in terms of rental properties. But there are individuals who left their plots undeveloped/some who developed their plots poorly, and you may find some who are willing to sell.

The third area where you can buy plots in Mlolongo is the one that is commonly referred to as Mlolongo phase 3. Moving from Mlolongo phase 2 towards Mlolongo phase 3, you have to cross a river/ravine. This is a relatively undeveloped area, and the plots are definitely cheaper.

The fourth area where you can buy plots in Mlolongo is the one that is commonly referred to as Kasina area. So this is the area opposite AIC Kasina, between the Solomon School and Kenchic. It is a well developed area in terms of rental properties, but with some luck, you may find someone who is selling an empty or poorly-developed plot. The parts of Kasina fronting the Mombasa Nairobi highway can be rather costly, but as you go deep inside, the plots may be slightly cheaper.
