Overview
Property Description
This 72 sqm 1 bedroom apartment in Ngong Road sits within Longines Bay, a mixed-use development combining apartments, retail and lifestyle amenities under one address, priced from KSh 6.7 million.
A one bedroom with room to breathe
72 sqm is generous for a one bedroom. Most new Nairobi stock in this category lands between 45 and 55 sqm, which produces a bedroom, a corridor and a living area that doubles as everything else.
At this size the plan has room to separate its functions properly. The living area works as a living area, the bedroom is a bedroom rather than a berth, and there is space for a dining table and a desk without one displacing the other.
Pricing runs from KSh 6.7 million to KSh 7.7 million depending on floor level and aspect, with higher floors and better outlooks carrying the premium. Finishes are contemporary throughout and the unit is ready to occupy from handover.

The co-working space matters disproportionately at this size. Anyone working from a one bedroom knows the problem — there is nowhere to take a call that is not the room you sleep in. A dedicated workspace downstairs effectively adds a room to the apartment without adding to the price.
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 that handles both independently spares you the recurring disruption.
What a 1 bedroom apartment in Ngong Road gets you downstairs
Longines Bay includes ground-floor retail: supermarkets and convenience stores, pharmacies, restaurants and cafés, fashion and shoe stores, laundries and dry-cleaning, beauty and wellness businesses, offices and specialty retail.
For someone living alone or as a couple, that convenience is worth more than it sounds. Errands happen downstairs rather than in traffic, and a restaurant in the building covers the evenings when cooking is not happening.
Why buy a 1 bedroom apartment in Ngong Road
Ngong Road connects Kilimani, the CBD, Karen and Lang’ata, which makes it one of the few Nairobi addresses that works regardless of which direction your commute runs. The corridor has improved substantially since the road expansion.
One bedroom units here have the deepest rental demand of any category. Young professionals, graduate tenants and people relocating to Nairobi all start with a one bedroom, and that pool refreshes constantly. For a landlord, it means short voids and quick re-letting.
Entry pricing from KSh 6.7 million also makes this among the more accessible routes into property ownership in a well-serviced Nairobi building. Buying a 1 bedroom apartment for sale in Ngong Road at this level puts you in a proper development with amenities, rather than in the bare-bones stock that usually defines this price bracket.
Who this suits
First-time buyers moving out of renting. Young professionals who want a base in a building with facilities rather than a room in a block with none. Parents buying for a child studying or starting work in Nairobi.
It also suits investors squarely. A 1 bedroom apartment in Ngong Road at 72 sqm rents above the category average precisely because it is larger than the competition.
