If you don't have phobia for water,rent at Ikorodu (somewhere close to the jetty) and ply speed boat/ferry everyday. Alternatively Ijanikin-Agbara side for that 250k but stress oo. Mile2 is also okay but you will add money too, like 300k Best bet is add like 600k to the 250k and rent around Yaba, surulere,etc but if you really have just 250k Ikorodu is better you just have to be concerned about safety while on the boat. I would rather pass the road than ply through the lagoon anyway. 2 Likes |

Vokolo, 250k can barely get you a self con. Upgrade your budget to 400 to 600K for places like gbagada,yaba (40 minutes drive to VI) or surulere ,iyano oworo areas( an hour drive to VI) Those are the best places with less traffic. Please stay away from places after Ajah unless you want stress to kee you. 6 Likes |

Considering your budget,Mile 12 could be one of your best options. Fortunately on you,BRT to Marina is guaranteed. Cheers. 1 Like |

Everyone suggesting Ajah as 30 minutes from VI, why, certainly that is correct....only on Sunday evenings. Mondays to Sunday afternoons Lekki Phase 1 to Ajah is all traffic (that is the only road leading there and so many churches have moved there as well). Plus they are rebuilding the roundabouts. There is always horrid traffic at Lekki 1 and Jakande. People living in Agungi/NICON town are spending over 1 hour driving to and fro during the week, no-one in Ajah is doing it faster. And after VGC the traffic gets even worse. 9 Likes |

250-300k can get you a decent 2 bedroom @ Ikorodu and you can commute to work via the Brt buses..that's what I do now 4 Likes |

Oga 250k won't get you anything decent o. You could think about gbagada, yaba and Surulere. 250k is the down payment on sefcons, the additional charges will up it to 400. So think about upping it Oga. 1 Like |

@op, to be sincere with u, that budget can only get u a descent a room self contain, no more. My advice is get the room self contain, work for some months or even a year, safe up before bringing your family, Lagos is pretty expensive but if you insist on banging wifey every night, then increase ur budget to 600k for a flat in gbagada, will not suggest oworo, that place seems to be disturbed by some evil spirit 5 Likes |

OP, First, do not move your family to Lagos till you get familiar with the place Second, do not rent any house till you get familiar with Lagos, you can easily loose that your paltry 250K to the various types of clowns in Lagos.Renting a house in Lagos is a serious business. Better find someone to spend squat with for two to three month, even if such a person will bite your head off. Some stark realities, *average wake uptime for people living in Lagos is 5am *Most of the places people are suggesting to as close by Lagos standards are really far compared to any other state *A 1hr :30 min tip in your current location is considered travelling, in Lagos, it is a quick dash to the office. *Ajah Langbasa, Sangotedo, and all places in Ibeju Lekki are 3 to 4 hours Commute daily, and you still have to get to the office before 8:00 pm * Yaba, Surulere, Anthony, Gbagada are the close places on main land, 1hr to 3 hrs daily commute to and fro, depending on if you drive, use the BRT and wake up early. * In all these places, if all you have is 250K, forget 2 bedroom, It can only get you a mini flat, except you want two rooms in a face me, I face you junk yard *If you really want the best Lagos life, 30mins drive to the office and back, then you must go for Lekki Phase 1, Oniri, up to Agungi in Lekki Axis. The rent for a mini flat in these places is, 1.3 million, a two bedroom is 2 million. *Even if you live in Lekki Phase 1, you still need to be army to avoid traffic and get to work in time. So in Lagos its stress for cash. * is it going to change soon? No, the govt is busy building ten lane roads and light rail lines to open up and populate badagry area with even more people. Welcome to Lagos, shine your eyes else you will loose 250K without getting any house. I lost 600K in surulere after having spent two years in Lagos 20 Likes |
