Riverside Times Apartments — 1 & 2 Bedroom Luxury Homes For Sale in Riverside, Nairobi

There’s a small detail in Riverside Times Apartments’ address that says more about the neighbourhood than any marketing line could: it sits directly next to the German Embassy. That’s not incidental. Riverside Drive has spent decades building its reputation as Nairobi’s diplomatic and expatriate heartland, and a development literally sharing a fence line with an embassy tells you exactly what kind of street this is — quiet, secure, and consistently in demand from precisely the tenant profile every serious investor wants.

A Newly Launched Development in an Already-Proven Corridor

Riverside Times Apartments is a newly launched residential development offering elegantly designed 1- and 2-bedroom apartments centered on contemporary urban living.

Unlike a lot of off-plan projects betting on an unproven street to eventually catch on, this one is launching directly into a corridor that’s already established itself as the top of Nairobi’s residential market — Riverside Drive currently commands some of the highest rents in the city, with comparable apartments along the street renting anywhere from KES 150,000 to 450,000 a month depending on size and finish.

Available Units

1 Bedroom Apartment — from 58 sqm, starting at KES 6.8 million. A genuinely spacious footprint for a 1-bedroom in this corridor, suited to young professionals, couples, and buy-to-let investors chasing Riverside’s strong rental turnover.

2 Bedroom Apartment — starting at KES 11 million. Designed with families and executives in mind, and positioned squarely toward the premium expatriate rental segment that dominates demand in Riverside and neighbouring Westlands.

Flexible payment plans are available across all units, and with the development newly launched, early buyers get first access to the best floors and unit positions before availability tightens.

Finishes and Amenities

Every unit at Riverside Times comes with modern, high-end interior finishes throughout. Building-wide amenities include a fully equipped gymnasium, swimming pool, and a rooftop leisure and relaxation terrace for residents who want outdoor space without leaving the building.

Practical infrastructure is thoroughly covered: high-speed lifts, a full backup generator, borehole water supply for uninterrupted service, 24/7 security with CCTV surveillance, ample resident and guest parking, and an elegant lobby and reception area that sets the tone from the moment you walk in.

Why This Exact Stretch of Riverside Drive

Riverside Drive’s appeal comes down to genuine scarcity. There’s a hard limit on how much land remains available along this specific corridor. That scarcity has consistently pushed both purchase prices and rental rates upward even as other parts of Nairobi’s property market have cooled.

Being next to the German Embassy places Riverside Times firmly inside the diplomatic cluster that anchors so much of the street’s rental demand, and the location puts residents minutes from Westlands’ commercial core, Lavington and Kileleshwa’s established residential neighbourhoods, major shopping malls, restaurants, international schools, and top hospitals.

The wider connectivity case is just as strong. Riverside sits close to the UN complex in Gigiri and Nairobi’s international embassy cluster, drawing consistent demand from diplomats, NGO professionals, and senior executives who need to live close to work without sacrificing quiet, tree-lined surroundings.

The Nairobi Expressway has cut travel time to JKIA to under 20 minutes from Riverside, a genuinely meaningful convenience for the internationally mobile tenant base this corridor attracts.

Why Invest Now

A prime address with genuine scarcity value. Riverside Drive’s limited remaining land keeps upward pressure on both prices and rents — a dynamic that tends to favour early buyers over those who wait for a finished, fully-priced product.

Deep, resilient rental demand. Diplomats, NGO professionals, and senior corporate executives make up the core of Riverside’s tenant pool, and that demand has proven far less cyclical than Nairobi’s broader rental market.

Strong track record of capital appreciation. Riverside has consistently outperformed most of Nairobi’s residential corridors over the past several years, and buying at Riverside Times during its launch phase locks in pre-completion pricing ahead of that trajectory continuing.

Payment flexibility. Structured plans make ownership accessible to both end-user homeowners and investors who’d rather spread commitment across the construction period than pay a lump sum upfront.
