Overview
Property Description
This 40 sqm studio apartment for sale in Ngong Road forms part of Longines Bay, a mixed-use development off Ngong Road, priced from KSh 4.5 million with access to a full set of lifestyle amenities.
Where this unit sits in the building
Priced from KSh 4.5 million to KSh 4.9 million, the 40 sqm studios generally occupy better positions in the development than the entry units — higher floors, better aspect, or a more favourable outlook over the courtyard garden.
That is what the price difference reflects rather than the single additional square metre. When comparing units at Longines Bay, it is worth asking specifically which floor and which orientation a given unit occupies, because within the same size band the difference in daylight and outlook can be substantial.
The layout itself is open plan, with room to separate sleeping, living and cooking areas properly. Finishes are contemporary and the unit is ready to occupy.

The borehole and backup generator are the unglamorous ones that determine whether a building actually functions. Nairobi water rationing and grid outages are routine, and a development handling both independently spares you the disruption that defines life in buildings that do not.
What a studio apartment for sale in Ngong Road gets you downstairs
Ground-floor retail at Longines Bay covers supermarkets and convenience stores, pharmacies, restaurants and cafés, fashion and shoe stores, laundries, beauty and wellness businesses, offices and specialty retail.
In a city where traffic turns a supermarket run into an hour, having all of it downstairs is the practical argument for a mixed-use building — and the thing owners appreciate more after moving in than they did when comparing floor plans.
Why buy a studio apartment for sale in Ngong Road
Ngong Road is one of Nairobi’s most usable addresses, connecting Kilimani, the CBD, Karen and Lang’ata. Since the road expansion the corridor no longer carries the congestion reputation it once did.
For an investor, the case rests on tenant depth. Studio demand in Nairobi is constant and self-renewing, and a unit in a building with a pool, gym, generator and borehole competes against stock that offers none of those. That difference shows up in both achievable rent and in how long tenants stay.
A studio apartment for sale in Ngong Road at this level also leaves room in most buyers’ budgets, which matters if this is a first purchase or one of several in a portfolio.
Who this suits
Buyers who want a well-positioned unit rather than the cheapest one in the building. Professionals living alone. Investors adding a Nairobi studio to a portfolio where location and building quality matter more than entry price.
A studio apartment for sale in Ngong Road in this size band also works well as a diaspora purchase — small enough to manage remotely, in a building with professional common-area management.
The Longines Bay location
Longines Bay sits off Ngong Road, which places it within easy reach of Kilimani, Lavington and the CBD without putting you on a main-road frontage. That distinction matters for a residential building — you get the access without the traffic noise directly outside your window.
The immediate area has matured considerably over the past decade. What was once predominantly low-rise residential now carries a mix of apartments, offices and retail, with the amenities that follow density. For a buyer, that means the neighbourhood is established rather than speculative, and the infrastructure is already in place rather than promised.
