What Does It Mean to Find Countryside Calm at the Edge of Nairobi?

It means beginning your day in a quieter setting near Nairobi, surrounded by greenery and open air, while knowing the city remains close at hand. It is children playing outside after school in a safe, family-friendly community, evening walks becoming routine, and weekends no longer centered on activities planned away from home.

This kind of everyday balance is increasingly rare, and it is exactly what Lakehills was designed to offer.

Set minutes from Runda, just off Kiambu Road, Lakehills sits within a calm, green valley overlooking Paradise Lost Lake. The setting feels removed from the city’s intensity, yet schools, hospitals, shopping, and entertainment hubs remain close. You are not choosing between peace and access. You are living alongside both.

What Will Daily Life at Lakehills Actually Feel Like?

Life at Lakehills unfolds well beyond the walls of your home. Time moves easily between your private garden, shared green spaces, and thoughtfully designed community areas.

At the centre is Lakehills Park, a 23,751 sq.ft landscaped green space that draws everyday life outdoors. Children play freely, picnics happen close to home, and neighbours meet naturally along shaded walkways and cabanas. On some days the park feels lively, with pickleball games or outdoor movie nights. On others, it is quieter, shaped by walks and moments by the reflection pools.

Beyond the park, Lakehills Retreat adds a calmer layer to daily life. Pools, a gym, and a yoga lawn support everyday movement and wellbeing, while indoor and outdoor lounges provide space to slow down, work quietly, or catch up with neighbors. These spaces are designed to be used often, not saved for special occasions.

What Is It Like Living in a Lakehills Villa?

Living in a Lakehills villa begins outdoors. Each four-bedroom home, ranging from approximately 3,110 to 3,280 sq.ft and set on private plots of about 3,940 to 5,619 sq.ft, opens onto its own garden. Mornings start with birdsong and fresh air, children play close by, and evenings naturally extend outside.

Inside, these modern homes are oriented toward Nairobi’s lush, year-round landscape. Terraces and balconies extend from most rooms, maintaining a constant connection to greenery. Open plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow easily, supporting quiet daily routines as comfortably as they do when hosting guests. The entertainer’s kitchen sits within the social spaces, while a discreet chef’s kitchen behind it keeps preparation out of sight and the home feeling composed.

Upstairs, the pace shifts. Three en-suite bedrooms provide privacy and comfort, while the master suite offers a true sense of retreat, defined by generous space, refined detail, and a private terrace suited to quiet mornings and sunlit pauses. Together, these elements position Lakehills as a luxury family home thoughtfully designed for those seeking villas for sale along Kiambu Road.

Can I Enjoy Nature Without Giving Up Convenience?

Set within a quiet valley overlooking Paradise Lost Lake, this gated community offers clean air, open skies, and an immediate sense of calm.

At the same time, everyday necessities remain close enough to keep life practical and connected. Schools, shopping, and healthcare are all within easy reach:

·       7 minutes to Sabis International School

·       8 minutes to Runda Mall

·       9 minutes to Ridgeways Mall

·       13 minutes to Braeburn Garden Estate School

·       13 minutes to AAR Hospital

·       17 minutes to Potterhouse School and Kindergarten

·       19 minutes to Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital, Muthaiga

·       23 minutes to Nairobi Hospital Outpatient Centre

Is This the Right Environment for My Next Move?

Lakehills appeals to homeowners at different stages of life because of how naturally it supports changing priorities.

·       Families who value connection, outdoor play, and a like-minded community

·       Parents with older children who prefer a calmer, more intentional pace

·       Retirees drawn to walkable green spaces and wellness-focused amenities

·       Kenyans in the diaspora looking to return gradually to a home with long-term relevance

Planned as a low-density villa community, Lakehills balances privacy and connection in a way that feels considered and enduring.

Is Lakehills a Smart Long-Term Choice?

Positioned just off Kiambu Road, within one of Nairobi’s most established residential corridors near the diplomatic hub, Lakehills benefits from a location that has consistently supported long-term property value. Surrounded by mature neighborhoods such as Runda, Gigiri, and Muthaiga, the area has a proven track record as a stable real estate investment near Nairobi.

Planned infrastructure upgrades along Kiambu Road, including its expansion into a dual carriageway, are expected to further improve connectivity, accessibility, and capital appreciation over time. At the same time, Lakehills presents a more accessible entry point compared to neighboring luxury estates, allowing buyers to secure villas for sale along Kiambu Road with the potential to benefit from the same growth trajectory without the customary premium.
