Ruaka: 15 Places You'll Find Affordable Rental Houses
Share this post:
I’ll have to admit— Ruaka is not an average neighborhood. Rental houses here are expensive! So if you are on a budget and are looking for a house to rent, where do you look?
I have the answers. This guide is perfect if:
▪ You don’t have Ksh 1,000 to pay an agent (or don’t see the need to).
▪ You want to avoid conmen, who are all over.
If this sounds like you, don’t worry. I will show you where to find affordable single rooms, double rooms, bedsitters, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom houses.
Say for example you want a Ksh 8,000 bedsitter. Use this guide to identify the places that have a bedsitter going for Ksh 8,000 or less, then go there and see if there is a vacant one.
Please note, all prices are in Kenya Shillings (Ksh) per month.

•Single rooms 4,000
•Bedsitters 7,000
