Located in the Ndeiya sub-county, Kiambu County, Kamangu is a rapidly growing area owing mainly to the various developments that have occurred in recent years.
The Southern Bypass, launched in 2016, opened up the larger Kikuyu area and surrounding smaller towns such as Thigio and Kamangu to land investors. The completion of Thogoto – Mutarakwa road and the gazettement of Ndeiya as a sub-county further accelerated the popularity of the area and caused an increase in land value. However, these are not the only factors that will dictate the average cost of land in Kamangu area.

Why Kamangu Is a Strategic Location for Buying Land

Despite the vast pieces of land, Kamangu remained a largely underdeveloped area for years. However, this has changed gradually due to new infrastructure, changes in government administration, and an increasing urban population wanting to move to the outskirts of Nairobi. New buildings are coming up, the population is growing steadily, and more businesses are opening.
Here are a few reasons to buy land in Kamangu, Kikuyu with Pettmall Shelters Ltd, whether for residential, commercial, or speculation purposes.
- Construction of Thogoto-Mutarakwa road: Also known as Dagoretti Rd, the tarmacked Thogoto-Mutarakwa road connects the Southern Bypass to Mai Mahiu road, passing through small towns such as Gikambura, Lusigetti, Kamangu, and Thigio. The road has not only led to the growth of these towns, but it has also improved their accessibility, including interior shopping centers that are not along the tarmac.
- 2022 gazetting of Ndeiya as a new sub-county: The removal of Ndeiya from Limuru and Kikuyu sub-counties to form a new sub-county means more administrative posts in the area. Kamangu, one of the smaller towns in Ndeiya, will benefit from this change, including the moving of the Land Transactions and Licenses office to the closer town of Thigio.
- Proximity to Nairobi CBD: Kamangu is only approximately 40 minutes away from Nairobi CBD by road. This makes it an ideal location for those wanting to settle in a quiet and serene area near Nairobi while also enjoying the convenience of the city.
Factors That Determine the Cost of a Plot or Land
There’s no one-size-fits-all method to determine the cost of land in Kamangu and other parts of Kenya. Prices depend on various factors, including:
Location
Properties located in prime areas, such as popular residential neighborhoods and urban centers, fetch a higher price. The availability of proper infrastructure and existing connections to amenities like water and electricity may further raise the value, with plots near the tarmac road being more expensive. Kamangu’s strategic location and ongoing developments in the area are likely to increase the cost of land with time.
Accessibility
Poorly accessible plots of land may be cheap but may cost you more in the long run due to bad road networks and lack of proper entry points. At Pettmall Shelters Ltd, we have properties that touch the Thogoto – Mutarakwa tarmac road and others that are fully accessible through well-graded all-weather roads.
Demand for Land
Land costs in places with a high demand will be more than in areas with a low demand. Pettmall Shelters Ltd has several projects already sold out in Kamangu, which means the area is experiencing a steady increase in land demand as various developments continue to attract more investors.
Proximity to towns and other amenities
The closer a piece of land is to major towns and cities, the more expensive it’s likely to be. Although Kamangu is only approximately 40 minutes from Nairobi, land prices are still affordable, which makes it the best time to buy.
