1 Bedroom Apartments for Sale at Longines Bay, Kabarnet Road — Kilimani

Kabarnet Road has quietly become one of the busiest streets in Nairobi’s off-plan market, with several developments now competing for the same buyers. Longines Bay’s 1-bedroom units are worth a close look specifically because of what’s built around them — not just the apartment itself.

The Unit

• 72 sqm, roughly 760 sq ft — genuinely spacious for a Nairobi 1-bedroom
• From KES 6.7M to 7.7M, depending on floor and stack
• Generous living and dining areas, a modern fitted kitchen, and a private balcony
• Large windows throughout, built for natural light rather than a dim interior
• Contemporary finishes as standard, not an optional upgrade

How It Compares to Other Kabarnet Road Listings

• Lynx @ Ngong Road, also off Kabarnet Road, prices its 1-bedroom units from around KES 6.6M to 7.15M, but at a smaller unit size and with a considerably lighter amenity list — a health club, pool, gym, and basic security.
• Nine Planet Apartments, further along Kabarnet Road, offers roughly 30% green space and wooden-floor finishes, but is a smaller, standalone development without the retail and hotel-managed investment options Longines Bay is built around.
• Longines Bay’s 72 sqm, KES 6.7M–7.7M price band sits right in line with the street’s going rate — but comes bundled with a mall, a pharmacy, a restaurant, co-working space, and 601 total units’ worth of shared infrastructure that smaller neighbouring developments simply can’t offer at a comparable price.

In a street where several projects are competing on nearly identical pricing, Longines Bay’s edge isn’t the unit price — it’s everything built around it.

Why This Specific Unit Makes Sense

• It’s priced for the widest buyer pool in the development. Studios sell fastest on low entry price alone; 1-bedrooms sell fastest to buyers who actually want to live in, or rent out, a genuinely complete home rather than a compact starter unit.
• 72 sqm is a real living space, not a compressed floor plan dressed up with clever photography — enough room for a proper living area, a dedicated dining space, and a kitchen you can actually cook in.
• The balcony and large windows aren’t incidental. They’re the difference between an apartment that needs lights on at 2 p and one that doesn’t.
• It sits inside a mixed-use address. A supermarket, pharmacy, cafés, and restaurants built into the same development mean daily errands become a lift ride, not a drive — a genuine selling point for tenants weighing this unit against a standalone apartment elsewhere in Kilimani.

Amenities That Come With It

• Swimming pool, landscaped courtyard garden, children’s play area
• Rooftop padel court, rooftop sports area, BBQ zone
• Sky outdoor cinema and an indoor mini-cinema
• Co-working space and an on-site restaurant
• Backup generator, borehole water, high-speed lifts, CCTV

Location

• Kabarnet Road, off Ngong Road, Kilimani
• Close to Adams Arcade, Yaya Centre, and The Junction Mall
• Easy reach of Hurlingham, Lavington, Upper Hill, and Nairobi CBD
• Approximate travel times from developer materials: Prestige Plaza 3 minutes, Yaya Centre 6 minutes, The Nairobi Hospital 8 minutes, JKIA 15 minutes — worth driving yourself at your usual commute times, since Nairobi traffic shifts these numbers significantly between mid-morning and evening peak

Payment Plan

• 20% deposit, balance spread over 30 months
• Possible discounts for larger upfront deposits, subject to current developer terms
• Completion targeted for 2029

Who This Unit Suits

• Young professionals and couples who want genuine space, not a compromise
• First-time investors moving up from a studio budget without jumping straight to a 2-bedroom price point
• Diaspora buyers looking for a unit size that rents easily to a single professional tenant or a young couple, with amenities that support a premium rent
