How Much Does It Cost to Rent an Apartment in Kilimani?
Apartments for rent in Kilimani range from approximately KSh 50,000 to KSh 270,000 per month, depending on the number of bedrooms, size, furnishing, facilities, and location within the neighbourhood.
One-bedroom apartments offer a more manageable rental commitment for individuals and couples, while two- and three-bedroom homes provide additional space for households that need separate bedrooms, larger living areas, or a DSQ. Furnished apartments may also have different rental rates from unfurnished options, depending on their specifications and inclusions.
For example, we have a one-bedroom apartment listed at KSh 75,000 per month, a two-bedroom apartment with a DSQ at KSh 95,000, and a three-bedroom apartment along Riara Road at KSh 130,000. These examples give you an idea of the different rental options available, although prices and availability may change.
Choosing Between Compact and Larger Apartment Layouts
Studio and one-bedroom apartments in Kilimani suit individuals and couples who want a convenient home without paying for more bedrooms than they need. They offer a practical option if you work in Nairobi’s business districts, enjoy spending time around the neighbourhood, or want to live close to shopping, dining, and other everyday amenities.
A one-bedroom apartment can give you a separate bedroom and living area, providing more privacy than a studio while keeping the space manageable. Depending on the building, you may also have access to facilities such as a gym, swimming pool, parking, and backup power.
For example, our one-bedroom apartment for rent in Kilimani costs KSh 75,000 per month. It has a private balcony and access to a swimming pool, gym, lifts, backup generator, and borehole water.
Flexible Layouts for Couples, Small Families, and Shared Living
Two-bedroom apartments in Kilimani give couples, small families and people sharing a home more room and privacy. You can use the second bedroom for a child, a guest or a home office, making this apartment type suitable for different household arrangements.
The available options also vary in their layouts and facilities. Some have two bathrooms, fitted kitchens and balconies, while others include a domestic staff quarter for households that need additional utility space.
For example, we have a two-bedroom apartment near Yaya Centre for KSh 100,000 per month. It measures 112 m² and has an open-plan fitted kitchen, balcony, swimming pool, gym, sauna, borehole water, and backup generator.
If you need an additional room for domestic help or household storage, consider our two-bedroom apartment with a DSQ in Kilimani, available at KSh 95,000 per month. It also has a fitted kitchen, balcony, swimming pool, gym, and sauna.
Extra Bedrooms and DSQs for Growing Households
Three-bedroom apartments in Kilimani offer more room for families who need separate bedrooms for children, a guest room or a dedicated workspace. They can also suit professionals who want additional space for working from home while remaining close to Nairobi’s business and lifestyle destinations.
You can choose between apartments with different bedroom arrangements, living areas, and facilities. Some have all en-suite bedrooms, while others include a DSQ, giving you an additional room for domestic help or other household needs.
For example, our three-bedroom apartment on Riara Road costs KSh 130,000 per month. It measures 163 m² and has three en-suite bedrooms, balconies, a semi-open-plan kitchen and a separate living and dining area. The development also provides a rooftop swimming pool, gym, children’s play area, borehole water and backup generator.
If a DSQ is important to your household, consider this three-bedroom apartment with a DSQ on Kirichwa Road. It costs KSh 140,000 per month and has three en-suite bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, guest cloakroom, swimming pool and gym.
Furnished and Unfurnished Apartments for Rent in Kilimani
Furnished apartments in Kilimani are a practical option if you are relocating to Nairobi, staying for a limited period, or would rather move into a home that already has its essential furnishings. They can reduce the time and effort involved in setting up a new home, particularly if you are moving from another town or country.
For example, we have fully furnished two- and three-bedroom apartments near Yaya Centre. The two-bedroom option costs KSh 100,000 per month, while the three-bedroom option costs KSh 130,000. The apartments have fitted kitchens, a laundry area, and access to facilities such as a gym, children’s play area, lifts, CCTV, backup generator, and borehole water.
We also have a fully furnished three-bedroom apartment on Kindaruma Road for KSh 270,000 per month. It measures 120 m² and has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two parking spaces.
If you prefer an unfurnished apartment, you have more freedom to furnish and arrange the space according to your preferences. However, furnishing details are not specified on every rental listing. Let us know whether you want a furnished or unfurnished home so we can confirm the status of suitable apartments before arranging viewings.
Apartments for Rent in Kilimani with Swimming Pools, Gyms and Other Amenities
If you value recreational facilities and practical building services, you can choose from Kilimani apartments with amenities that make everyday living more convenient. Depending on the development, these may include swimming pools, gyms, children’s play areas, lifts, backup generators, borehole water, CCTV and secure parking.
These facilities can be particularly useful if you want to exercise without travelling to an external gym, have children who need a dedicated play area, or prefer a building with alternative water and power provisions. However, amenities differ from one development to another, so it is worth checking which facilities are available in the specific apartment you are considering.
Our three-bedroom apartment on Riara Road, for example, has a rooftop swimming pool, gym, children’s play area, high-speed lifts, borehole water and a full backup generator. The two-bedroom apartment near Yaya Centre also has a swimming pool, gym, sauna, borehole, and backup power.

The specific part of Kilimani where you rent can influence how conveniently you access shops, restaurants, workplaces, and other everyday destinations.
