Rising land costs in major urban centres and growing demand for housing are pushing property investors and home buyers to emerging satellite towns where they can acquire land at relatively affordable prices while remaining connected to the key economic hubs.
The shift is reshaping the real estate market as developers increasingly move beyond established cities and towns to areas where infrastructure expansion, improved connectivity and population growth are creating new residential corridors.
One of the emerging areas benefiting from this trend is Gitero, located about six kilometres from Nyeri town, where real estate players are targeting buyers seeking residential and commercial opportunities outside the traditional urban centre.
