Kahawa sukari nairobi houses for rent in gated communities in kenya


Kahawa is a suburb settlement traversing the Kiambu County and Nairobi County borders along Thika Road. Despite its proximity to the city, most of its parts are administratively in Ruiru Constituency. Kenyatta University is found in this area. The member of parliament for the area is Esther Gathogo (2013-2017). The region is represented by Hon. Michael Irungu Waweru (Kahawa Wendani Ward) and Hon. Eng. Peter Geche (Kahawa Sukari Ward)(2013-2017).

The Kahawa Region

Generally, the Kahawa region is subdivided as follows:

(1) Kahawa Sukari (Home to Peponi School, Brookside, K. Sukari Estate and Sukari Ranch, owned by the Kenyattas), in Kiambu County.

(2) Kahawa Wendani (Home to Nakumatt Wendani and K. Wendani Estate), entirely in Kiambu County.

(3) Kahawa West (Home to Jacaranda Apartments, Maziwa Settlement and Kamae Settlement), in Nairobi County's Roysambu Constituency.

It's safe to say that Kahawa is an inter-county settlement because it is shared by both Kiambu and Nairobi counties. This scenario is repeated across the Kabete and Ruaka/Runda, Gachie areas of the greater metro region.

Kahawa Barracks

The Kahawa Barracks area (which forms the border with Nairobi County) was the site of a British Army base before Kenya's independence and now hosts the Kahawa Army Base of Kenyan Army. Kahawa is home to Nakumatt Wendani.

Transport

Kahawa lies to the north of Githurai, a Nairobi suburb and settlement along the Kenya-Uganda Railway. In 2016, this town is to start to be served by suburban trains of the Nairobi rail service.
