    You are not likely to experience water challenges in Muchatha.

    Most houses get water from boreholes. You may face challenges if your apartment relies on City Council water, which is only available on Mondays.

    Food prices

    While not as expensive as Ruaka, groceries in Muchatha are still expensive, according to the residents I spoke to.

    You can source cheaper foodstuff in Banana Hill market, but it’s also only cheaper on “market days,” two days a week.

    Is Muchatha safe?

    So far in 2024, yes.

    In 2023, there were very many cases of insecurity. Snatching of mobile phones, and breaking into shops were common. Some thieves also jumped over fences to steal items left outside like shoes and clothes.

    Other thieves lay flat on empty vibandas along the road to ambush and steal from passers-by.
